A gene mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides that occurs during cell replication (mitosis and meiosis)within a sin

gle coding section of DNA. Mistakes can also occur in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide. However these changes are not considered to be mutations because they are not permanent changes to the cell.True / False.

True

Changes in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide are not considered to be mutations because they are not permanent changes to the cell.

Explanation:

The half-life of mRNA and proteins is short. mRNA has an average of 10 hours of life span while proteins have an average of  several days. Therefore mutation in these biomolecules will only persist as long as this mutated mRNA of protein exists. After its life-span, the molecule is degraded and replaced by a non-mutated mRNA or proteins. This is because the piece of DNA that codes for the mRNA and subsequent protein is not mutated. A mutation on DNA is the permanent kind of mutations because DNA is a highly stable molecule that stores information about the cell.

Answer:

It is important to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when constructing a recombinant gene used to produce a human protein secreted in milk because<em> it is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an organism.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Regulatory Sequence</em> is<em> a segment of a nucleic acid molecule</em> which is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an organism. Regulation of gene expression is an essential feature of all living organisms and viruses.

Skeletal muscle tissue can break down glycogen, a carbohydrate polymer, into its individual monomers to be used for energy. What
Lisa [10]

Glycogen is also called as the animal starch. This carbohydrate polymer is made up of the several repeating monomer units (in thousands) of alpha D glucose. The skeletal muscles break down this glycogen into the monomer alpha D glucose units in order to generate energy, which can be used for the contraction and relaxation of the muscle filaments.

Hence, the answer is 'alpha D glucose'.
