The water molecule has the ability to form hydrogen bonds, between atoms of oxygen and hydrogen of different molecules (they can also be formed between atoms of hydrogen, phosphorus, and nitrogen, but in the case of water we refer only to hydrogen and oxygen). When this phenomenon occurs between molecules of the same species (one molecule of H2O with another molecule of H2O), it is called cohesion, which is the attraction that molecules have for others of the same type. In the case of water, cohesion occurs thanks to hydrogen bonds, and this union is very strong and difficult to break.

A gene encodes a protein of 350 amino acids. a mutation creates an allele that only has the first 120 amino acids. what could ha

lianna [129]

The protein encoded by the mutant allele is shorter than the one encoded by the normal allele, the protein encoded by the mutant allele could be non-functional and the mutant allele could be associated with disease. In addition, DNA and mutation can happen possibly wherever on these molecules at any time. The most severe variations take place in the useful units of DNA is the genes in which the mutated form of a gene is named a mutant allele.
