Answer:
A mutation can alter the structure/function of a particular protein, thereby also altering the phenotype resulting from this new variant
Explanation:
A mutation can be defined as a genetic change in the genome of an organism. Some mutations are capable of modifying the expression and/or structure of the proteins, while other mutations (known as silent mutations) have no effect on the resulting proteins. When mutations occur within the gene region encoding a protein (i.e., exons), they are potentially capable of producing a faulty protein. For example, a mutation can alter the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the resulting protein, thereby inactivating it. The mutations that alter the structure and/or function of the protein can also alter the resulting phenotype associated with the expression of this protein. For example, a mutation within a gene that encodes a key enzyme can potentially alter the binding site of the protein, so the resulting mutated enzyme cannot bind to the substrate anymore. In consequence, this mutation alters the phenotype of the individual who is not more able to carry out the metabolic reaction catalyzed by the faulty enzyme.
Answer:
A. Aerobic respiration
Explanation:
The cell body of neurons have mitochondria which in turn serve as the site for ATP production. Nerve cells derive their energy by complete oxidation of glucose by the process of aerobic respiration. The enzymes required for aerobic respiration of glucose are present in mitochondria. The ATP molecules produced in cell bodies are delivered to the other parts of neurons to serve as source of energy during conduction of nerve impulse.
The event is called mutation
A mutation is a rare, accidental or induced modification of genetic information in the genome, specifically DNA.Depending on which part of the genome is affected, the consequences of a mutation may vary.
A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is transmitted to the next generation (see germinal mutations).
It is one of the elements of biodiversity and one of the many factors that may be involved in the evolution of the species (for example: production of new protein which help the bacteria to grow in hostile environment like fungi).
There should be many anatomical similarities among verities and species that have diverged from a common ancestor
