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.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The DNA is more closer to bacteria.

Explanation:

Mitochondria and chloroplast are considered as semi-autonomous organelle because they contain their own genetic material. The mitochondria and chloroplast evolution can be explained by the endosymbiont theory.

The DNA of mitochondria and chloroplast are more closely related to bacterial chromosome rather than eukaryotic chromosome.  Both the organelle and bacterial DNA are double stranded and  their translation can be inhibited by the chloramphenicol. Some of their replicating enzymes also show similar characteristics.

Thus, the DNA is more closer to bacteria.

Bacteriorhodopsin pumps protons across the bacterial plasma membrane from the cytosolic side to the extracellular side of the me
julsineya [31]

Answer: Option B.

B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration.

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein used by archaea or half bacteria that pumps proton across membrane by using the light energy from sun to move protons across membrane. It is found in purple membrane of archaea cells which is known as two dimensional crystalline patches.

It captures photon energy through chromophore retina which is covalently bound and transporting the photons against their electrochemical gradients from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space.

Describe two factors that are responsible for regulating the cell cycle. What is their role in the regulation process?
finlep [7]

Answer:

The cell cycle is controlled by many cell cycle control factors, namely cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs). Cyclins and Cdks, which are positive regulators of the cell cycle, activate cell cycle factors that are essential for the start of the next cell cycle phase.

Explanation:

Listen to pronunciation. (sel-SY-kul REH-gyoo-LAY-shun) Any process that controls the series of events by which a cell goes through the cell cycle. During the cell cycle, a cell makes a copy of its DNA and other contents, and divides in two.

What cells support the spermatogonia?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Sertoli cells

Explanation:

The Sertoli cells nourish and protect the developing sperm cells, and spermatogenesis—the developmental pathway from germ cell to mature sperm—occurs in the recesses of the Sertoli cells (Figure 19.17)
