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

Answer:

The bold region of the above sequence will be in the transmembrane region.

4.b) To predict the helix we need to know the propensity of each amino acid in the amino acid sequence to form an alpha helix of the protein. Not only the propensity of a single amino acid will dictate that but also other amino acids in its vicinity will have an effect on it. More importantly, that should follow the Ramachandran plot.

4.c) I chosen that region based on the hydropathy index of the stretch of amino acids. The region of amino acids should have hydrophobic side chain because they will interact with the hydrophobic tail of the lipids in the cell membrane. So this region has higher hydropathy index than others. This lead me to choose that region.

The amount of matter in an object is known as _____.
irinina [24]
The object's mass. Weight would be how gravity affected it, size is how large it is, density is how tightly the molecules are to each other. Mass is how much matter is in the object.

Aliun [14]
The correct answer is mutualistic bacteria in the hindgut of the termite digest the cellulose into sugars.  
<span>
Termites depend upon the whole complex of microbes in their hindgut. Microbes inside the termites help the breakage of the complex sugars like a cellulose into short-chain fatty acids.</span>
