Answer:
A mutation in <u>DNA </u>results in a change in <u>RNA </u>that sometimes produces a <u>protein </u>with altered structure and function.
Explanation:
DNA is the hereditary material which causes gene expression in our body by producing protein. The type of protein which is produced by DNA totally depends upon the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. But, DNA molecule does not produce protein directly. Initially it produces RNA (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) by the process of transcription, the nucleotides in the RNA are complimentary to those in DNA. In short, the message regarding the structure and composition of the type protein to be produced by DNA is first decoded from DNA in the form of RNA. These RNA molecules then synthesize the protein as per the instructions from DNA by the process of translation.
But, in case a mutation occurs in the DNA which causes a change in it's nucleotide/nucleotides, the protein which will be produced will be different in the structure and function than the protein which was supposed to be synthesized. It happens because, a triplet of nucletiodes in the DNA and hence RNA specifies a particular type of amino acid and several amino acids are joined in a long chain to form polypeptide which ultimately forms protein. But, if any nucleotide in the triplet is changed due to mutation it may change the amino acid and if amino acid will change the protein will also get altered.
Answer:
Explanation:
a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
<h2>Region between 2 and 3</h2>
Explanation:
Muscles consists of two protein filaments:a thick filament which is made up of protein myosin whereas a thin filament is made up of protein actin
- During contraction,thin filaments slide past the thick filament resulting in shortening of sarcomere
- Myosin thick filaments grab on to the actin filaments by forming cross bridges
- The thick filaments pull the thin filaments past them making the sarcomere shorter
- The region between points 2 and 3 includes the area of overlap between thin and thick filaments
The correct option is A.
Unsaturated fats are the kind of fats that contain at least one double bond.Therefore, a polyunsaturated fat is one that contain more than one double bond in its molecule. In fats, double bonds signify the level of unsaturation of a molecule. Unsaturated fats are considered to be a more healthy choice than saturated fats.
Answer:
The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.
Explanation:
There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.
A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.
A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.
The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.
