Answer:
The type of mutation that occurs when in the DNA strand there is a change from guanine to cytosine is a nonsense mutation, since the triplet that should encode the amino acid encodes a stop codon and the protein cannot be completely synthesized.
Explanation:
The nonsense mutation consists of a change in one of the bases of the stranded DNA, which is transcribed into an altered mRNA, producing a stop codon, instead of an amino acid.
In the table it is observed that the CCA codon is a stop codon that cuts off the protein synthesis prematurely, leaving it incomplete and probably non-functional.
Sometimes this type of mutation can alter the sequence of amino acids but the protein may be complete enough to partially fulfill its function.
Answer:
Areas where the myelin sheath has degenerated
Explanation:
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the nervous system where the myelin sheath is damaged, and impairs its ability of conducing signals in the affected nerves, causing serious deficiencies in many life aspects (movements, sensations, cognition etc).
Answer:
Cell Division
Explanation:
Cells reproduce by the process of CELL DIVISION, which is the formation of an increased number of cells from a single parent cell. Mitosis is the type of cell division used for the multiplication of cells as it involves the synthesis of two identical number of daughter cells from a single parent cell.
However, certain drugs that may prevent the unregulated reproduction of cells is trying to directly affect the process of cellular division in that cell. This is because cell division is the way through which cells reproduce themselves.
