I believe the structure organelle that may be faulty is Mitochondria. Mitochondria is a cellular organelle that is involved in cellular respiration a process that uses glucose to yield water and carbon dioxide coupled with production of energy in the form of ATP. Melas meaning mitochondrial encephalomyopathy lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes is a conditions that affects body systems especially the brain and the nervous system and muscles.
Materials eliciting increased tongue flicking and prey attack in garter snakes were isolated from both earthworm and fish prey. New extraction methods based on chloroform-methanol mixtures are valuable adjuncts to the more typical aqueous preparations. Both high- and low-molecular weight components from earthworms and fish were active. The similarity between the active chemicals in these two classes of prey was established using several methods of analysis.
Eukaryotic organisms contain translocation factors that are suited to perform the same function. A translocation that results in Tu being replaced with G or G being replaced with Tu will not affect the function of the protein.
Alzheimer's is characterized by mental deterioration, memory loss, and personality changes.
A species could gain negative traits through evolution. So, evolution does not always mean progress.
