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.

denis23 [38]

Though both are unicellular, bacteria doesn’t possess a nucleus or cell organelles, except ribosomes, whereas amoebas possess a well-defined nucleus and all essential cell organelles.

Both bacteria and amoeba are single-celled organisms. They both have ribosomes.

Bacteria is a prokaryote. It lacks membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts or any membrane-bound organelles.

Amoeba is a eukaryote. It has a "true" nucleus containing its DNA and organelles which is responsible for energy production and protein transport.<span>

Why are there species instead of a continuum of various animals?
melamori03 [73]
Because evolution itself is a very slow process. Having said that, the chance of having a continuum of various animals would mean that evolution would have progressed very fast. Because evolution is slow, different species establish themselves for different ecological niches and environments, this enables them to become better through time at a certain environment which then leads to eventual diversification in the number of species.
