Answer:

It is a replacement that has an important effect on protein function because Arg and Gln are residues with different chemical properties.

Explanation:

In this case, Arginine (Arg) is a basic and positively charged residue, while Glutamine (Gln) is an uncharged (neutral) amino acid. Non-conservative substitutions like that are generally expected to have deleterious effects and they are generally removed by natural selection. Moreover, Arg is also a target for phosphorylation, which is the most important posttranslational modification. Phosphorylation is known to be capable of causing the activation of different proteins, especially kinases, and, therefore, the mutation at Arg109 might also inactivate the active site of this protein.

Describe an activity to demonstrate phototropism <br> Is this correct pls check now itself
Whitepunk [10]
<h3>Phototropism</h3>

Yes, the given activity is a correct example which describes phototropism

Phototropism is an adaptation or a survival mechanism undertaken by some plants to receive maximum sunlight in order to prepare more food and energy through photosynthesis.  

Explanation:

Phototropism takes place through receptor proteins called phototropins which act as blue light photoreceptors.

Phototropic activity:

Phototropism can best be observed by planting few plants including phototropic plants in pots and keeping them near the window to receive sunlight.

The natural bending of phototropic plants towards the window denotes their inclination towards sunlight.

The growth of sunflower plants facing towards the sun and blooming of lotus flower under sunlight are all examples of phototropism.

Other plants which are phototropic are Phalaenopsis, azuki beans, fungus of Phycomyces species, etc.
