Note the two transcribed and translated DNA strips below. The two strips are identical except for a point mutation, where the fi

fteenth base was changed from a G to a T. Fill in the corresponding mRNA, tRNA, and letter in the blanks spaces for the mutated DNA strip. Explain how this point mutation changes the protein.

Answer/ Explanation:

The original DNA sequence has a point mutation changing a G to a T. The resulting mRNA produced is always complementary to the DNA from which it is synthesised, so the original mRNA sequence has a T, whereas the mutated mRNA has a U. The tRNA is complementary to the mRNA, so the original has a G, and the mutated has a T.

This is a point mutation called a substitution. This does not affect the entire sequence of the protein, because the mutation is "in frame" meaning the mRNA sequence is still read in the same way by the protein producing machinery. However, it does change the 5th codon from UGC to UGU. If we look up the genetic code, we can see that both of these codons code for cysteine, so there will be no change in the amino acid sequence of the protein

Climate warming trends allow plant and insect species to inhabit larger ranges. True or false?
attashe74 [19]

The right answer is True.

At the global level, climate change will contribute to the disruption of the Earth's natural ecosystems, which could lead to the extinction of wild animal species and plants. It is mainly the impact of climate change on habitat and ecosystems that will dictate the impacts on biodiversity (by expanding them or the opposite).

Climate change will profoundly affect agricultural and forestry production. The effects in terms of production potential will be very variable depending on the regions and plant cover. They can result in an overall tendency for moderate stimulation in temperate climates and for limited warming at 2 ° -3 ° C.
