Answer: There will be no effect on the protein produced

Explanation:

According to the genetic code, the triplet codon GAG code for the amino acid, glutamate, while GAC code for aspartate.

Since GAG and GAC code for amino acids with similar properties (aspartate and glutamate are both acidic amino acids due to the extra carboxyl group present in their side chain), the change in nucleotide is still similar to the original, so will result in a different amino acid sequence, but will not alter the function of the protein at all. Thus, this kind of mutation is called silent mutation.

which of the following is incorrect about the nitrogen cycle? a. nitrate and nitrite reductases in denitrifying bacteria convert
Serjik [45]

The incorrect statement about the nitrogen cycle is option A: nitrate and nitrite reductases in denitrifying bacteria convert ammonia to nitrogen gas.

The biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is the process by which atmospheric nitrogen is changed into ammonia, and the nitrogen-fixing bacteria are known as diazotrophs. Fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification are significant nitrogen cycle processes. Ammonia is converted to nitrites and then to nitrates which are absorbed by plants with the help of their roots. Therefore, option A is incorrect.

Through bacteria that fix nitrogen from the atmosphere, nitrogen enters the living world. Soil bacteria convert this nitrogen and nitrogenous animal waste back into gaseous nitrogen, supplying the organic nitrogen required by terrestrial food webs.

Hmg-coa reductase is a highly regulated enzyme. identify three distinct mechanisms by which this enzyme is regulated. for each,
Rufina [12.5K]
Regulation of HMG-CoA reductase is termed as the rate of controlling enzyme of the mevalonate pathway which produces other isoprenoid and cholesterol.
The regulation of cholesterol is done by regulating the rate which determines step catalyzed by HGM -CoA reductase.
There is long-term and short-term regulation where HGM-CoA is inhibited by phosphorylation and catalyzed of proteins. There is regulated proteolysis of HGM-CoA reductase where degradation of HMG-CoA reductase by oxidized derivatives of cholesterol.
