Think about the dna coding sequence of a gene. if an a were swapped for a t, what kind of mutation could it cause and why?

If an A (Adenine) were swapped for a T (Thymine) it will lead to A TRANSVERSION TYPE OF POINT MUTATION.

Replacement of an A with a T is a transversion type of point mutation because in transversion the purine is replaced with a pyrimidine. Since in this case only one nucleotide is replaced, it is a point mutation.

I need to know the hypothesized enzyme
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Hypotheis:

<em>If high amounts of product in the samples, '+++' , correlates with optimal temperatures and pH for enzyme activity, then...</em>

  • <u>A- Pepsin</u>
  • <u>B- Amylase </u>
  • <u> C- thermophilic enzyme</u>

Explanation:

Enzymes are specialized proteins that function as biological catalysts- <u>they speed up chemical reactions.</u> As proteins, these are susceptible to changes in temperature and pH- they function best at optimal values for both conditions, but can be denatured, rendering them inactive at relative extremes.

Each enzyme provided has its own optimal temperature and pH values.

  • Thermophilic enzymes are usually found in regions characterized by high temperatures. They show high thermostability, and do not become denatured at high temperatures- they thrive, and do not function well at lower temperatures.
  • Amylase is a hydrolase digestive enzyme found in the mouth, that acts on polysaccharides like starch to break 1,4  glycosidic bonds between glucose molecules. It works best at a physiological (neutral) pH and temperatures (around 37°)
  • Pepsin, another digestive enzyme, is a peptidase that breaks down proteins into peptide molecules. It is found in the stomach lining, where the pH  is typically low i.e. acidic due to the hydrochloric acid in digestive juices.

Thus from the table A- pepsin, B- Amylase and C- thermophilic enzyme can be hypothesized.

What is post-combustion carbon capture?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

CO 2 can be captured from the exhaust of a combustion process by absorbing it in a suitable solvent. This is called post-combustion capture. The absorbed CO 2 is liberated from the solvent and is compressed for transportation and storage. Other methods for separating CO 2 include high pressure membrane filtration,...
