The amino acids in the original partial sequence (N-term-...P-I-E...-C-term) have little to no impact on protein structure and f

unction. However the amino acid sequence near the C-terminal end of the protein is required for normal function. Any amino acid changes in this region of the protein will result in a nonfunctional protein. Given this information, which reversion mutation in the gene would restore the normal function of the protein?
a. Insertion of 2 base-pairs in the region of the proline codon
b. Deletion of 5 base-pairs in the region of the proline codon
c. Deletion of 2 base-pairs in the region of the proline codon
d. Deletion of 1 base-pair in the region of the proline codon
e. Insertion of 1 base-pair in the region of the proline codon
f. Insertion of 4 base-pairs in the region of the proline codon

Answer:

OPTIONS : B,C,E,F

Explanation:

The Reversion mutation in the gene that would restore the normal function of the protein :

All the options given can restore the normal function except options : A and D

For Deletion of 5 base-pairs in the region of the proline codon

      Normal sequence 5' - G | CCG | AUC | GAA | CU - 3' while the mutated sequence is : 5' - G | CCG | AUG | AAC | U - 3' . this shows that the removal of the 5 case pairs will only remove 2 amino acids restoring the normal protein in the process and not affect the C terminal of the amino acids and also the reading frame will be restored  

normal protein.

For Deletion of 2 base-pairs in the region of the proline codon

The Normal sequence 5' - G | CCG | AUC | GAA | CU - 3'  while Mutated sequence 5' - G | CCG | AUG | AAC | U - 3'

This shows that the deleted  base pair is from this codon hence removing the two base pairs will lead to  the reading frame  been restored and also the C terminal amino acids, but this will result to a protein with a less than one amino acid

Which of the following is an example of aposematic coloration? A) stripes of a skunk B) eye color in humans C) green color of a
nignag [31]

Answer:

A) stripes of a skunk

Explanation:

The aposematic coloration is coloration that has been developed by the living organisms in order to warn the predators that they can be dangerous and harmful, thus to not attack them. Usually this type of coloration tends to stick out significantly when compared with the coloration of the other species that do not exhibit it, thus making it much more easy for the animal or plant to be recognized by the predators, which is benefiting both sides. The coloration of the skunk is a nice example of aposematic coloration. The skunk has black basis, but it has straight white stripes along its back. The two colors are contrasting, so it sticks out very easily. The predatory animals immediately notice it and just move along and do not bother the skunk because they are aware that it can pose a danger to them if they attack it.

Describe the flow of energy from a glucose molecule to ATP during respiration, and compare this to the flow of energy from gluco
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Glycolysis is the first step of the cellular respiration in an organism which is metabolic pathway that is completed in the cytosol of the cell that leads to the converting glucose to the pyruvate in order to produce energy in form of ATP:

1. Glucose-6-phosphate is ---> fructose-6-phosphate

2. fructose-6-phosphate ---> fructose-1,6-biphosphate

3. fructose-1,6-biphosphate ---> glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate(GAP) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP).

4. GAP is oxidised ----> 3-bisphosphoglycerate + NADH

5.  3-bisphosphoglycerate  ----> 1,3-bisphophoglycerat

6. 1,3-bisphophoglycerate   ----> 3-phosphoglycerate

7. 3-phosphoglycerate ----> 2-phosphoglycerate

8.  2-phosphoglycerate  ----> phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)

9. phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP  ----> pyruvic acid + ATP

Formation of ATP occurs in both pathways or process that are respiration and fermentation. Fermentation is a catabolic pathway leads to the degradation of sugars (partial) that result in the gain of energy and this energy are absorbed in ATP.  There are difference of the amount of energy or ATP produce in these process in respiration 38 ATP are produced whereas during fermentation only 2 ATP are produced.

In 2004, tests were performed on the San Carlos Reservoir in Arizona to determine levels and distributions of some toxic metals.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

an investigation on how copper affects aquatic life in the reservoir

Explanation:

It was observed that there were two time periods represented in the sediment by larger levels of copper than is recommended in sediment quality guidelines at the San Carlos Reservoir in Arizona

The next things that will be on their mind is to investigate on how copper affects aquatic life in the reservoir
