Answer:

Yes they can

Explanation:

<em>Based on the fluid mosaic model of the lipidic bilayer of the membranes we know that proteins embedded in it have the ability to undergo translational diffusion</em>. <em>Membrane fluidity is important to the cell because is associated to transport rates, it can respond to the necessities of the organism,</em> for example, in some organisms this fluidity can be modified by temperature stress or according to their nutrient necessities.

I hope you find this information sueful and interesting! Good luck!

A biologist sequences the DNA of two different organisms and identifies these two sequences:
Over [174]

The two DNA sequences of organisms represent that they are closely related but different species.

<h3>What do you mean by Species?</h3>

Species may be characterized as a group of organisms that can reproduce naturally with one another and produce fertile offspring.

DNA fingerprinting is a technology that reveals the similarity between the DNA sequences of two or more organisms of the same or different species.

Both the sequence are very similar to one another, only a few bases are altered which signifies that they are closely related but belongs to different species.

Therefore, the two DNA sequences of organisms represent that they are closely related but different species.

The wild-type form of a gene encodes a protein of length 100 amino acids. A mutant allele has a UAA (instead of the wild-type, C
Orlov [11]

Answer:

48 amino acids

Explanation:

The wild type gene codes for a protein with 100 amino acids. One amino acid is encoded by one triplet code of the gene. This means that the wild type gene has a total 100 triplets or 300 nucleotides to code for a protein of 100 amino acid. Mutation in this protein has introduced the code "UAA" at the 49th codon. The code "UAA" is a stop codon. Therefore, the mRNA transcribed from the mutant allele would code for a protein having 48 amino acids as the protein synthesis will be stopped once the stop codon at the 49th position is read.
