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

Which level of biodiversity involves variations within a single population?
Alisiya [41]

Biodiversity is the inconsistency among living organisms from all foundations, including terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems.  The answer is Intrapopulation diversity. Intrapopulation variability in resource gaining influences population dynamics, with significant implications for conservation planning. Spatial analyses of niche difference within and among populations can afford relevant information about ecological relations.

Describe how changes in an ecosystem can affect organisms that live there.
UNO [17]
Suppose a sand-colored rat lives in the desert. Its cameoflague against the sand helps it survive, but if the desert were covered in ash, its numbers would decrease because it doesn't have cameoflague anymore and can be easily spotted by predators.

How does the function of the glottis help the frog survive?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

This voice box occurs in all amphibians but is anatomically most complex in frogs. The larynx exits into the trachea; the latter bifurcates into the bronchi and then into the lungs. The glottis then opens, and elastic recoil of the lungs forces the pulmonary air out and over the new air in the buccopharyngeal pocket.

What part of the intestinal tract prevents backflow of food from the stomach into the esophagus? a. diaphragm b. lower esophagea
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The correct option is b. lower esophageal sphincter

Explanation:

The esophagus is the initial part of the digestive tract and its function is the transport of the alimentary bolus from the pharynx to the stomach, through the thorax and avoid the reflux thereof. It begins and ends in two sphincter structures, the upper esophageal sphincter and the lower esophageal sphincter, which separate it from the pharynx and stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter has two functions: relax during swallowing and prevent reflux of the gastric contents into the esophagus in the postdeglutory period. After swallowing, there is a relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, pressure dropping to levels similar to those of the gastric fundus, which allows the bolus to enter the stomach. This relaxation lasts a few seconds and is followed by a strong contraction that prevents backflow of food.
