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

Explain using the term semi-conservation replication why we still
Basile [38]

Answer:

Semi-conservation replication describes the mechanism of DNA replication in all known cells. This process is known as semi-conservation because two copies of the original DNA molecule are produced. Each copy contains one original strand and one newly-synthesized strand.

DNA is passed down to the next generation in big chunks called: Chromosomes.

Every generation, each parent passes half their chromosomes to their child. If nothing happened to the chromosomes between generations, then there would be around a 1 in 8 change that you would get no DNA from a great, great, great, great grandparent.

What most people forget, through, is that our chromosomes get mixed and matched before they are passed on. It is because of this "recombination" that your great, great, great grandparent's DNA is almost cetainly still lurking in yours.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

A. Results in higher vo2 max.

1. training for the marathon

2. weight training.

B. Results in lower vo2 max

1. lactic acid accumulation.

2.  getting older

3. sedentary lifestyle

4. being female.

C. Neither.

1. being male

2. central fatigue

Explanation:

VO2 max is the measurement of the maximum oxygen consumption during continuously increasing exercise. Higher VO2 means the body is consuming a higher level of oxygen and delivering to muscles without muscle loss on this basis we can sort the following scenarios

A. Results in higher vo2 max.

1. training for the marathon  (more oxygen consumption)

2. weight training.  (more oxygen consumption)

B. Results in lower vo2 max

1. lactic acid accumulation.  

2.  getting older  (less oxygen consumption and less oxygen delivery to muscles)

3. sedentary lifestyle  (less oxygen consumption and less oxygen delivery to muscles)

4. being female.

C. Neither.

1. being male

2. central fatigue
