A mutation causing an addition or a deletion of one base pair resulted in the production of a nonfunctional mutant protein. The

sequences of the normal and mutant proteins are given below. Normal: Met - Tyr - His - Glu - Val Mutant: Met - Phe - Thr - Lys - Cys - Lys - Trp - Arg - .....

Answer:

Explanation:

The mutation was caused as a result of deletion of one letter of the codon A from tyrosine leading a shift in the reading frame.

Normal is

Normal - Met - Tyr -His- Glu- Val

Aug- Uac- Cac - Gaa -Gug

When a is removed from Tyrosine codon we have a shift in the reading frame to form a mutant with a new codon and protein.

Mutant - Met- Phe - Thr - Lys -Cys

Aug- Ucc- Acg - Aag -Ugu

Mutation is a sudden change in the genie of an organism that can be heritage by offspring from their parent.

2. If a cell has a very large amount of ribosomes attached to its rough
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Protein

Explanation

Ribosome and Rough E.R are organelles  in the cell.

E.R are extensive membranes (which are continuous with the nuclear membrane) that exist as flattened compartment in the cytoplasm.These compartment form sacs in the cytoplasm. The sacs are interconnected with one another to form a complete system  called the reticulum.

Based on structure two types of E.R exists -the Smooth E.R and the Rough Endoplasmic reticulum.The later is called rough because of Ribosomes attached to its outer membrane. the smooth lacks ribosomes attachment on its outer membrane. Ribosomes are the site of Protein synthesis in the cell.

They are small in number and are made up of RNA and protein.Generally the protein  synthesised  in the Ribosomes,are moved into the sacs in the R.E.R,where they are modified.They are eventually budded off in vesicles which form the Golgi bodies
