Answer:
Ok, I am going to try my best to label all of this. It is quite a vague drawing, isn't it? lol, lets see:
A - Lysosome
B - Endoplasmic Reticulum
C - Golgi Bodies?
D - Cell Membrane
E - Nucleus
F - Ribosomes
G - Cytoplasm
H - Mitochondria
Thank you very much! If you need any more help or such, make sure to comment, and I'll try to help some more. Thank you!
Answer:
It would most likely render the protein nonfunctional or mis-functional.
The mutation could result in three outcomes:
- Silent mutation, which changes the codon to the same amino acid. (AAA->AAG, both are lysine). But since the problem specified that it has a "slightly different amino acid sequence," we can assume this doesn't happen.
- Nonsense mutation, which changes a codon to a stop codon. This would end the chain of amino acids, making the protein potentially nonfunctional.
- Missense mutation, which changes a codon to another completely different codon. This can be harmful, as in sickle-cell disease, where just one amino acid, glutamic acid, is changed to valine.
Hippos likely evolved from a group of anthracotheres about 15 million years ago, the first whales evolved over 50 million years ago, and the ancestor of both these groups was terrestrial. These first whales, such as Pakicetus, were typical land animals. They had long skulls and large carnivorous teeth. Hope I’ve helped ;)
