Which type of mutation always creates a stop codon?

Biology
1 answer:
prohojiy [21]3 years ago
4 0

Nonsense mutations occur when a codon that is supposed to specify an amino acid is changed to a stop codon instead. This results in a protein that is shorter than normal because it cannot finish adding all the necessary amino acids.

Suggest an intracellular regulatory molecule (from your text) that growth factors might stimulate to control cell division. Plea
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

E2F transcription factors  

Explanation:

The E2F transcription factors (TFs) encode intracellular factors associated with the control of the cell cycle. E2F are TFs that bind to promoter consensus sequences in order to activate transcription. These TFs control the expression of target genes involved in cell proliferation including, among others, genes for DNA replication and mitotic activation. Moreover, the E2F proteins also may act as a link between cell fate and the cell cycle. The retinoblastoma (Rb) is a protein that modulates the activity of the E2F family of TFs, and it has been shown that the Rb/E2F pathway is a key molecular mechanism associated with cell proliferation.

One group of students did an experiment to study the movement of ocean water. The steps of the experiment are listed below.
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lamp and the ice bag were at the same place.  

Sounds like the experiment was intended to show on a small scale ocean currents from the poles to the equator and back to the poles. The bag of ice would simulate the cold at the poles while the lamp would simulate the heat provided by the sun near the equator. With that in mind, let's look at the possible flaws and see what is likely.  

Not enough ink was added.

 * If you can see the ink, then there's enough ink. So this isn't the correct choice.  

Not enough water was taken.

 * Possibility there wasn't enough volume of water to setup a current, but not too likely since the baking dish was filled. So let's look further. 

 The dish was too small for the experiment.

 * Same as above. It might be this, but there's something more likely. 

 The lamp and the ice bag were at the same place.

 * This sounds like a winner. In the real world, the poles are cold and the equator gets more sunlight. So there's a temperature gradient. In the described setup, both the heat sink (the bag of ice) and the heat source (the lamp) were at the same location.
