Until recently, Henry has been very healthy. Alas, Henry recently was prescribed a medicine for a blood clot in his leg, which l

ed to nose bleeds. This would be considered an adverse
reaction to the medicine, so the doctor took him off of it. The doctor tested for blood levels of the drug in a week, and the number was high, indicating that he was not breaking down
the drug properly
Henry was discovered to have a defective enzyme, one that is supposed to break down drugs. The problem would lie in the genetic coding for the enzyme. Where one triplet should be
ATT, Henry's is CTT.
1. What organic category does an enzyme fall into?
2. What does the ATT code for and what does CTT for?
3. What can you deduce about further medications that Henry is prescribed?

Answer:

Explanation:

(1) The defective enzyme, which was suppose to break down drugs, is an oxidoreductase. Since, enzymes that break down drugs or metabolic enzymes perform there functions by oxidizing the drugs.

(2) Both codes are triplet codes for the enzyme; however the normal triplet code ought to be ATT, however there was a point mutation causing the "A" to be "C". These letters represent the bases in the DNA, <u>ATT is adenine-thymine-thymine while CTT is cytosine-thymine-thymine.</u>

(3) Further medications Henry is prescribed could include been taken with a drug/enzyme that will breakdown the actual medication.

What would be the anti codon in the tRNA for the amino acid trp (tryophan)?
MrRissso [65]
How do the genes in our DNA influence our characteristics? For example, how can a gene determine whether a person is an albino with very pale skin and hair? Basically, a gene is a segment of DNA that provides the instructions for making a protein, and proteins influence our characteristics. This chart describes how two different versions of a gene result in two different versions of a protein which in turn can result in either normal skin and hair color or albinism. DNA  Protein  Characteristic   Version of the gene that provides instructions to make normal protein enzyme  Normal enzyme that makes the pigment molecule in skin and hair  Normal skin and hair color Version of the gene that provides instructions to make defective enzyme  Defective enzyme that does not make this pigment molecule  Albinism (very pale skin and hair) A gene directs the synthesis of a protein by a two-step process. The first step is transcription of the gene in the DNA. Transcription produces a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. The second step is translation of the mRNA molecule. Translation produces a protein molecule. During transcription, the sequence of nucleotides in a gene in the DNA is copied to a corresponding sequence of nucleotides in mRNA. During translation, the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein. After translation, the sequence of amino acids in the protein determines the structure and function of the protein. Differences in protein function can influence characteristics such as normal skin and hair color vs. albinism.
