Hypothesize what might happen if the deletion mutation was at the end of the gene rather than towards the beginning

Biology
1 answer:
GrogVix [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Deletion mutation usually takes place due to the errors in the process of DNA replication . DNA polymerase slips off on the template strand due to which that part of the DNA is not coded in the daughter strand.

It can skip from one nucleotide (point mutation) to an entire gene. Point deletion can result in frame-shift mutation if it takes place in the beginning or middle of the gene. However, if it takes place at the end of the gene then it may cause no harm.

For example, let us assume the original sequence of DNA as ATG-AGT-CGT-ATA-TAA. It will result in the formation of methionine, serine, arginine, isoleucine, and STOP codon.

Point deletion at the end of the gene results in ATG-AGC-GTA-TAT-AA sequence. Now it will code for methionine, serine, valine, and tyrosine as AA will not code for anything. Hence, the sequence of the protein remains the same.

Hence, if deletion mutation takes place at the last or stop codon of the gene then it will cause no harm or change in the protein sequence. However, if it takes place before that then it may result in frame-shift mutation and thus a mutated protein.

enot [183]

Answer:

Option C, he lost both sensory and short-term memory

Explanation:

Sensory memory is basically the information received by the five sense organs and also the instruction given by brain to the respective sense organ.  

This sensory memory keeps  storing and is collectively referred to as short term memory.  

Since Chuck Wildlee was unable to remember how many balls and strikes the batter had. In past he would have perceived this information through eyes which should have been part of sensory memory and later the part of short term memory.  

Thus, it can be said that Chuck Wildlee lost both his sensory memory and short term memory  

Hence, option C is correct
