What will be the effect of a mutation that destroys the ability of poly(a)-binding protein (pabp) to attach to a poly(a) tail?

1 answer:

Mutation is defined as the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

So if mutation destroys the ability of a poly(a) binding protein to attach a poly(a) tail, mRNA would degrade hence disrupt the regulation of mRNA regulation.

Describe the two main stages of photosynthesis in general terms

zhenek [66]

There are 2 stages in photosynthesis
light stage and dark stage
light stage takes placein the grana because there's presence of chlorophyll. 2 reactions take place here.
1. photolysis of water where water molecules are split into hydrogen ions and oxygen gas in presence of chlorophyll and oxygen gas. the oxygen gas is released into the atmosphere but hydrogen ions are used in dark stage.
2. formation of adenosine triphosphate which is formed by combination of adenosine diphosphate and an inorganic phosphate in presence of light. this adenosine triphosphate is also used in dark stage
dark stage is a light independent stage which takes place in the stroma. energy is provided by adenosine triphosphate formed in the light stage. this stage involves tge combination of carbon(iv)oxide and hydrogen ions to form a simple carbohydrate and a water molecule. this process is known as carbon(iv)oxide fixation which is the reduction of carbon(iv)oxideby hydrogen ions using adenosine triphosphate energy to form a simple carbohydrate.
This simple carbohydrate is changed to glucose for use in the plant or to starch for storage

ohaa [14]

I think the Atrial fibrillation is the uncoordinated beating of the atria rapid. These are rhythm in which all the atrial activity is depicted as chaotic undulations of the base line. Atrial rhythms include; atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, premature atrial contraction, wandering pacemaker. Atrial fibrillation can cause an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart related complications.
