Suppose that an arginine residue in the active site of an enzyme was mutated to alanine. As expected, the alanine mutant was ina

ctive, suggesting that the arginine residue was critical to the catalytic mechanism. Which mutation is most likely to restore wild‑type level of activity to the alanine mutant?
a. A to M
b. A to S
c. A to K
d. A to Y
e. A to E

Answer:

c. A to K

Explanation:

If the alanine mutation is restored to K or lysine residue, most likely the wild type level of activity can be restored. This is because, arginine and lysine have -NH2 as the functional group. So, functional similarity of arginine can be expected from lysine as well.

Hence the correct option is c that is A to K.

What are Genes that produce alternative expressions of a trait called
Brrunno [24]
The answer should be allele(s).

Alleles are alternative forms of genes. For example in eye color, there is brown eye allele that produces brown eyes or blue eye alleles that produces blue eyes. 

However, note that there may be dominant or recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are always expressed, meanwhile, recessive allele is only expressed when there is no dominant allele existing. 

An example is let say brown eye allele is dominant and blue eye allele is recessive. The eye gene is controlled by 2 alleles. If I had one brown eye allele and 1 blue, my eyes will be brown, because brown eye allele is dominant.

What enzyme or function is being affected in mutant (a), causing many mismatched base pairs?
igor_vitrenko [27]
DNA polymerase is the enzyme that is responsible for adding correct nucleotide pairs to new and growing DNA strands. Mismatched base pair errors will occur if this enzymes is not able to function optimally. There are other system that work DNA polymerase, these are proof reading system and mismatch repair system. Less than optimum function of these system will lead to uncorrected mismatched base pairs.
