Which of the following sequences shows a frameshift mutation compared to the wild-type mRNA sequence?

Butoxors [25]3 years ago

Option C:

B. wild-type 5-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3 mutant 5'-AUGCAUACAUCUGGAGUGA- 3' 

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation such that the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion occurs in such as way that it alters the complete sequence of 3 codon sets and can change the reading frame, resulting in a completely different translation from the original.

As it is pertinent to understanding that all genes are normally translated in sets of 3 codons, which typically describes and explain a unique amino acid sequence. Thus, if a frame shift mutation occurs, it can affect many amino acid sequences and finally the entire protein.  

If we look at option B:

wild-type 5-AUG   CAU  ACA  UUG  GAG  UGA-3  

mutant 5’-    AUG   CAU  ACA  UCU  GGA  GUG  A-3’  

An insertion of a base Uracil showed at the end of 3rd codon which affected and altered the whole sequence of codon triplets. This changed all next codons and finally all next amino acids will be altered.

Assuming the stomata are open to the same degree, the rate of transpiration should _____ on a rainy day compared with a sunny da
Allushta [10]

Answer:

decline: decrease

Explanation:

Transpiration is the loss of water from stomata by the process of evaporation. It occurs by the process of diffusion and is driven by the concentration gradient of water vapor. The higher the concentration gradient between air and leaf cells, the higher is the rate of diffusion of water.

On a sunny day, the rate of transpiration is higher since air is less humid and the concentration of water inside the leaf is higher. On the other hand, the air is more humid on a rainy day. The increased water vapor content of air reduces the concentration gradient between air and leaf cells. The reduced concentration gradient decreases the rate of transpiration.

What is the difference between goodness of fit and personality conflict?
asambeis [7]

I hope this helps

The compatibility of a person’s temperament with his surrounding environment is referred to as “goodness of fit.”

Some temperaments and environments seem to naturally fit together, while others do not.

There are two types of “Goodness of Fit:”

<span> how that trait interacts with the environment how it interacts with the people in that environment. </span>

Any trait in and of itself is not a problem; rather, it is the interaction that determines the “acceptability” of that trait.
