The wild-type form of a gene encodes a protein of length 100 amino acids. A mutant allele has a UAA (instead of the wild-type, C

AA) at the 49th codon in the gene. How long is the protein product made from the mutant form of the gene?

Answer:

48 amino acids

Explanation:

The wild type gene codes for a protein with 100 amino acids. One amino acid is encoded by one triplet code of the gene. This means that the wild type gene has a total 100 triplets or 300 nucleotides to code for a protein of 100 amino acid. Mutation in this protein has introduced the code "UAA" at the 49th codon. The code "UAA" is a stop codon. Therefore, the mRNA transcribed from the mutant allele would code for a protein having 48 amino acids as the protein synthesis will be stopped once the stop codon at the 49th position is read.

Answer;

Swollen veins


Swollen veins might be a symptom of a person whose vein valves are not functioning properly and are causing fluid it flow away from the heart.


Explanation;

Valves are structures that are found in the circulatory system both in the heart and the veins.

They function to prevent the back flow of blood.

They do so by ensuring the continuous flow of blood in one direction.

If the valves are not functioning properly it may lead to various effects such as swollen veins due to the back flow of blood which may lead to the pooling of blood in the extremities.

VLD [36.1K]

The receptors involved in smell and motion detection are olfactory receptors and proprioceptors respectively.

Olfactory receptors are present on the cells of the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity. These receptors bind to the odor molecules and send signals inside the cell by producing chemical changes that are then detected and help in olfaction (detection of smell). These are a type of chemoreceptors.

Proprioceptors are a type of mechanoreceptors that detect changes in body position and maintain equilibrium. These receptors detect the position of limbs while walking and other activities. They are located in the skin, muscles, joints, and tendons.

Joni was able to smell the tangy sea air because of the olfactory receptors and was able to feel the motion of water beneath her feet because of the proprioceptors.
