The myelin sheath covers most of the axon. It is important because it helps to protect the axon and speed up the neuron firing process by decreasing the amount of time in the axon.
Answer:
Since, the original DNA sequence has not been provided, the mutation can be an insertion/deletion or a frameshift mutation.
- Mutated DNA
- Frameshift mutation/ insertion or deletion
- All the amino acids changed after the point mutation
Explanation:
Frameshift Mutation:
- A frameshift mutation is the alteration in the reading frame of the DNA due to the addition/deletion of one or two nucleotides.
- This type of mutation moves the mRNA sequence one or two bases forwards or backwards which disrupts the three base codons sequence required for translation into proteins.
- The CT at the end of the sequence is indicative of a frameshift in the DNA reading frame.
- Frameshift mutation affect all amino acids in a polypeptide chain as all codons are moved one or two steps forwards or backwards.
The answer is B. fight disease
Answer: Kuru
Explanation:
Kuru are transmitted by prion. This diseases are untreatable and ultimately fatal.
Prions are infectious proteinaceous particle that are neither virus nor do they contain nucleic acid.
They are transmitted by ingestion of the infected nervous system tissues.They are normally found in the healthy brain tissues if this protein is mis-folded into denatured form it can cause disease.
