The genetic code is thought to have evolved to maximize genetic stability by minimizing the effect on protein function of most s

ubstitution mutations (single-base changes). We will use the six arginine codons to test this idea. Consider all of the substitutions that could affect all of the six arginine codons.Part A How many total mutations are possible?Part B How many of these mutations are "silent," in the sense that the mutant codon is changed to another Arg codonPart C How many of these mutations are conservative, in the sense that an Arg codon is changed to a functionally similar Lys codon?

Answer:

The six codons for arginine are the following:

GCA, GCG, GCT, GCC, TCT, TCC

A) Considering the individual bases in each codon, three mutations are possible at each base position. Hence, 3 × 3 × 6 = 54 mutations are possible.

B) Considering the mutations at the 3rd base: 3 × 4 + 1 × 2 = 14 of these mutations are silent mutations.

C) Lysine codons are the following:

TTT, TTC

There are two possible mutations that can give a lys codon.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

What is the dominant gas in the atmosphere that forms clouds is?
Luda [366]
The answer is water vapor.

Water is presented in the form of tiny gas particles called water vapor in the atmosphere. The clouds are formed when this invisible water vapor in the atmosphere condenses onto microscopic particles (dust, dirt,...).

What atoms make up sugar molecules, amino acids, and fatty acids?
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. Each amino acid has the same fundamental structure, which consists of a central carbon atom bonded to an amino group (–NH2), a carboxyl group (–COOH), and a hydrogen atom.
