What major organelle are prokaryotes missing that eukaryotes have?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Nucleus

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are the organism that came earlier than eukaryotes on this earth. These prokaryotes do not have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles like chloroplast, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.  

So as prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelle their genetic material is not enclosed in the nucleus therefore their genetic material remains in the cytoplasm of the cell while eukaryotes have membrane-bound nucleus in which their genetic material are present.  

So the nucleus is the major organelle that prokaryotes are missing that eukaryotes have.

Given the mRNA sequence GGU-GCU-CCU-AUU, what would happen if a nucleotide was added at the fourth location in the chain? A. chr
anygoal [31]

Answer: The correct answer is B) Frameshift mutation.

The given  mRNA sequence is GGU-GCU-CCU-AUU. When a nucleotide is added at the fourth location in the chain, it entirely changes the frame from the insertion of the nucleotide till the end of the gene sequence. This is called a frameshift mutation.

This is because after adding a nucleotide, a new frame is generated that will code for different amino acids and therefore a different protein will be synthesized.

On the contrary, chromosomal mutation is an abnormality in the chromosome ( in terms of number or structure) whereas substitution mutation is the one, which exchanges one base with another. Deletion of base also results in the frame-shift mutation.
