What would happen if a amino acid sequence of an enzyme was formed incorrectly

Biology
1 answer:
Harman [31]4 years ago
3 0
If an amino acid sequence is formed incorrectly (i.e. DNA point mutations or frameshift mutations) then the enzyme can either be dysfunctional or non-functional; both of which lead to the end point of enzyme deficiency and overt disease. For example, the mutation of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase or G6PD decreases the production of antioxidants which can lead to increased hemolysis of red blood cells causing the clinical manifestation of jaundice (since the end point of metabolism of hemoglobin is bilirubin).

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

(D) a protein

Explanation:

The plasma membrane has proteins that are macromolecules responsible for the movement of large molecules in and out of the cell. If these proteins are damaged, this movement will be stopped.

In addition to acting preferentially on the transport mechanisms, organizing true tunnels that allow substances to pass into and out of the cell, these proteins function as membrane receptors, charged with receiving signals from substances that carry some message to the cell, favor the Adhesion of adjacent cells in a tissue, moreover, serve as the anchor point for the cytoskeleton.

Which of the following statements is true about Tiktaalik?
yawa3891 [41]

Tiktaalik is a transitional fossil which shows how fish evolved into amphibians and reptiles. So the correct option is B.

What is Tiktaalik?

Tiktaalik is a direct ancestor of tetrapods or four-legged animals. It is an extinct fish-like animal and it lived on earth 380-385 million years ago (Devonian period).

The word Tiktaalik is derived from the <em>Inuktitut</em> language which loosely translates to large freshwater fish. This animal had characteristics of both fish and tetrapod and is therefore called the link between these two kinds of animals.

The characters resembling fish are gills and scales and the characters resembling tetrapods are rib bones, movable neck and lungs. There are characters that are a mix of both tetrapods and fish. These are bones and joints in limbs but fish-like fins instead of feet or hands.

What is the relationship between light and depth of the ocean
Elodia [21]

In this zone, the intensity of light rapidly dissipates as depth increases. Such a minuscule amount of light penetrates beyond a depth of 200 meters that photosynthesis is no longer possible. The aphotic, or “midnight,” zone exists in depths below 1,000 meters (3,280 feet).
