Imagine that a mutation in DNA produces a protein with a slightly different amino acid sequence. how would this mutation affect

the protein’s function?
it’s not a multiple choice question :(

please help asap !!

Answer:

It would most likely render the protein nonfunctional or mis-functional.

The mutation could result in three outcomes:

  1. Silent mutation, which changes the codon to the same amino acid. (AAA->AAG, both are lysine). But since the problem specified that it has a "slightly different amino acid sequence," we can assume this doesn't happen.
  2. Nonsense mutation, which changes a codon to a stop codon. This would end the chain of amino acids, making the protein potentially nonfunctional.
  3. Missense mutation, which changes a codon to another completely different codon. This can be harmful, as in sickle-cell disease, where just one amino acid, glutamic acid, is changed to valine.

Answer:

The answer to these questions are the following:

1. sucrose solution (higher concentration of water molecules in the onion cells) >> red onion cells will shrink >> smaller diameter

2. distilled water (higher concentration of water molecules in the surrounding solution) >> red onion cells will become turgid >> higher diameter

Osmosis refers to the movement of a solvent (usually water molecules) across semipermeable biological membranes, which occurs from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. There are three classes of solutions that have different effects on cells due to the process of osmosis:

1. In a hypotonic solution, the cells will become turgid  

2. In an isotonic solution, the cells will become flaccid.  

3. In a hypertonic solution, the cells will shrink (plasmolysis)

When plant cells are placed into a hypertonic solution where there is a greater concentration of solute outside the cells (as in this case sucrose solution), water molecules will move from inside the cells to outside the cells, thereby cells will shrink due to water loss

When plant cells are placed into a hypotonic solution that is diluted in comparison to the content of the cell (as in this case plant cells placed in distilled water) water molecules will move from outside the cells to inside the cells, thereby cells will become turgid.

Can humans perform osmosis?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Osmosis is the movement of water from areas of high concentrations to lower concentrations across a semi permeable membrane. It occurs over these membranes in cells of the body alllowing water to move into and out of them.

An advantage of blank reproduction is the ability to reproduce quickly
puteri [66]
The answer would be Asexual Reproduction. This form only requires one organism, they germinate and birth their offspring, without the need of a Female or Male, speeding up the reproduction process

Good luck :)

When trying to recover from a _____ do not brake and keep your eyes in the direction you want to go and you will automatically s
igomit [66]

Answer:

Skid

Explanation:

A skid is an automobile handling condition in which  one or more tires are slipping relative to the road. So when trying to recover from a skid, do not brake and keep your eyes in the direction you want to go and you will automatically steer there because the overall handling of the vehicle is affected by the skid at that particular moment.

Which structure is unique to eukaryotic cells?
Lena [83]
The answers D. Nucleus because both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells have DNA (its circular in PK and Linear in EK).
Both cells have ribosomes and both have a cell membrane. However Prokaryotic does not have a nucleus and only Nucleoid DNA.

The blue wiggle is the nucleoid DNA, and the red dots are ribosomes
