The main difference between a plant cell and the animal cell is the presence of cell wall.
In the plant cell, the cell wall is present, but in the animal cell, the cell wall is absent.
Hence, in the onion cells, the cell wall around the cell would be clearly visible, whereas in the case of cheek cell, the cell would only be lined by a cell membrane, a cell wall would not be present.
Further, the plant cell would have the chloroplast, as they perform photosynthesis, but the animal cell would not have chloroplast. Unlike animal cell, the central vacuole in the plant cell is bigger and clearly visible.
Answer:
True or False?
A substitution in an exon that doews not change the amino-acid product probably occurred in the FIRST base position.
False; Third
Answer:
The mutations lie at locations where they don't affect protein sequence due to degeneracy of the genetic code.
Explanation:
Genetic code is the set of the triplet codons each of which code for a specific amino acid. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of triplets during the process of protein synthesis and the respective amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The genetic code is degenerate. This means that more than one triplet code specifies one amino acid and some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon.
For instance, genetic codes CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG specify amino acid "leucine". Therefore, any change in the DNA sequence that replaces one code for the leucine with another would not affect the amino acid composition of the protein. This would result in the synthesis of proteins with the same amino acid sequence from both the wild type and mutated genes.
