What effect could a mutation in mRNA have on the production of proteins​

Biology

8 0

Answer:

The effect on proteins depends on the type of mutation. Mutations in the mRNA could lead to alterations in the sequence of amino acids in the protein. These alterations could be silent or they can also lead to severe genetic abnormalities.

Explanation:

Point Mutation:

A point mutation in the DNA or RNA alters a single nucleotide base in the DNA sequence. Point mutations are of three types:

  1. Substitution: When a base is substituted for another. This has further 3 types:
  • Missense mutation:

A mutation that substitutes one base for another in such a way that the new sequence forms a new codon that is not a stop codon. For example, if the nucleotide sequence changes from AAG to AGG, the amino acid arginine will be produced instead of lysine.

  • Nonsense mutation

Nonsense mutation substitutes a codon for an amino acid with a stop codon. This kind of mutation produces a truncated or incomplete protein that is nonfunctional.

  • Silent mutation

A mutation that alters the genetic code in such a way that another codon for the same amino acid is produced, rendering no difference to the protein.

   2. Insertion: involves the insertion of a new base in the nucleotide sequence.

    3. Deletion: Involves the deletion of a base from the DNA sequence.

Point mutations, particularly, insertions, deletions and missense mutations can result in truncated or nonfunctional proteins that are unable to perform cellular functions. Cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia are prime examples of disorders caused by point mutations.

Which of the following organisms exhibits cephalization?
bezimeni [28]
Cephalization describes the process by which organisms develop a distinct head. The head of a cephalized organism contains a concentrated group of nerves, or brain, that controls the rest of the organism, as well as specialized organs for consumption and perception, like mouths, eyes and ears. Cephalized organisms exhibit a distinct division between parts of the body; they have a front, back, top and bottom. These animals comprise the bulk of animals that are encountered on a daily basis.

Answer:

\huge \text{\boxed{Hello, There! :)}}

\textbf{ \textit{The Correct Answer is Option A.}}}

Explanation:

<em>The anatomy of a child's brains can be divided into three parts: </em>

<em> </em>

<em>- Cerebrum; </em>

<em> </em>

<em>- Brainserm; </em>

<em> </em>

<em>- Cerebellum. </em>

<em> </em>

  • <em>The Cerebrum has the Cerebral cortex that is responsible for functions as coordination of movement, temperature, touch, vision, hearing, speech and language, judgment, reasoning, emotions and memory. </em>

<em> </em>

  • <em>The Brainstem includes the medulla, midbrain, and the pons, being responsible for most of the involuntary movements. </em>

<em> </em>

  • <em>The Cerebellum coordinate vonluntary muscle movements, and the balance of the body.</em>

<u><em>The part that stores the memory for a toddler as they are learning to walk is the cerebral cortex while the cerebellum coordinate and balance their movement to improve the walk with  time.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

  • <em>Hope this Helps!</em>
  • <em>Have a wonderful day!</em>
