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.
C would be the answer, that way the cold temperatures won’t penetrate through
It’s actually called anaerobic cellular respiration because you’re not using oxygen. For example, when you sprint you can’t breathe very well, so you’re not inhaling as much oxygen you need to make that energy for you to move. Your muscles will go into lactic acid fermentation, and the result of that is energy (ATP) along with lactate (lactic acid), and you will probably start feeling pain as the lactic acids build up.
Hope that helps!
