Answer:

Chromosomes will not align at the equator of the cell, and subsequently will not separate to opposite poles.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a cellular division that results in daughter cells with identical copies of the genetic material as the parent cell. Mitosis is characterized by different stages viz: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. The centromere is a very important part of the cell during division as it produces microtubules that grows out and bind to the kinetochore of each chromosome, hence, aligning them at the CELL PLATE (cell equator) and subsequently pulls them apart to opposite poles. This alignment and pulling apart occurs during METAPHASE and ANAPHASE respectively.

Mutation is any change that occurs in the nuceleotide sequence of the genetic material (DNA). If a change/mutation occurs leading to a defective or non-functional centromere, the centromere will no longer be able to produce microtubules that will bind to the kinetochores of each chromosome. Therefore, the chromosomes will be unable to align at the equator/middle of the cell and most importantly, inability to separate to opposite poles, which is the main point of Mitosis.

QUESTION 1: The term "Central Dogma" was first proposed in 1958 by Francis Crick, discoverer of the structure of DNA, to describ
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Explanation:

Central dogma represents the pathway in which the information encoded in the DNA flows into proteins.

The DNA is made up of the nucleotide monomers in which the nitrogenous bases are present as one of the constituents. These bases are present in the sequence are transcribed into the RNA molecule through the process of transcription.

The nitrogenous sequences in this RNA molecule are then translated into the proteins through the process of translation during which the sequence is read in pairs of three called "codons". A specific amino acid is attached to the peptide when the codons are read by the translation machinery and a protein is formed.

These proteins could perform various roles in organisms from physical to biochemical and thus the physical traits are controlled by the DNA.
