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.

An internal membrane system where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials
MakcuM [25]
A. Lipid bilayer: the phospholipid bilayer is the membrane of a cell. The bilayer contains lipids, membrane proteins, cholesterol, receptors for various molecules, pumps to transport ions and solutes against the concentration gradient, and many other items necessary for a cell to function and work together with other cells.

b. Osmotic pressure: Osmosis is the flow of water across a semipermeable barrier from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration. Osmotic pressure is the lowest possible pressure to prevent this water movement.

c. Endoplasmic Reticulum: the Rough ER synthesizes proteins for use outside the cell. The Smooth ER produces lipids and some steroidal hormones.

A. Lipid Bilayer is therefore the correct answer. Osmotic pressure does not involve the various components of the cell membrane, and the ER's produce proteins and hormones. Therefore A is right.

Hope this helps! :) Let me know if you need a clarification.
