Answer:

c. cysteine

Explanation:

Cysteine is a non essential amino acid. It contains sulfur in form of thiol group. A disulfide bond or bridge is formed between two thiol groups. It is represented as S-S. It is formed by oxidation of two cysteine molecules. The resultant disulfide bond is called as cystine which connects two polypeptide chains.

Cysteine is the only amino acid capable of forming disulfide bridge. It stabilizes protein's globular structure and plays an important role in protein folding and stability. Cysteine is required for protein synthesis, metabolic processes and detoxification. It is the part of beta-keratin which is the main protein in nails, hair and skin. If cysteine is mutated, formation of disulfide bond will be affected.

Answer:

Missense

Explanation:

The key in this question is  'which type of mutation causes this problem.

The description of this disease gives the the answer.  A replacement of  a glutamic acid amino acid with and Valine amino acid is called missense.

Silent mutation do not cause any difference in structure or function of the protein.

Insertions are an additional nucleotide or 2 added to the sequence

Frameshifts are the same as insertions, but the insertion occurs in part of the gene that codes for the protein.  Because of that 'insertion' the reading frame of this gene is out and the protein sequence is not correct.

How do enzymes work?
motikmotik
Enzymes speed up all of the reactions that happen inside cells. They help with digestion and our metabolism. Enzymes can do a few different things like:

Break up big molecules into smaller pieces, so they can be absorbed more easily by the body.

Enzymes also are very picky catalysts, and will only “speed up” certain types of reactions.

Hope this helps you!! (:
