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.

explain how a mutation is an individuals DNA occurs, and describe the effect it may have on the individuals trait. I need help o
Mazyrski [523]
Mutations are spontaneous and occur at random however there are some mutagenic agents which increase the chance of this happening such as radiation exposure. If it is a point shift mutation then only a few bases on the dna sequence are changed so only changes a few of the amino acids in that chain (such as inversion of a base). If its a frame shift then the base sequence is altered so much so that every amino acid from after that changes (such as deletion of a base) which can create things such as cri-du-chat syndrome which results from a piece of chromosome 5 is missing. Hope this helps:)

The length and complexity of a food web in the Arctic would be ____ when compared to one in the tropical rainforest.
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option A. short and less complex.

Explanation:

A food web is a network of many food chains. The food chain is one pathway that describes the path of the animals finds food, it is linear representation. Food web shows all the plants and animals in connection with each other in the food web.

In the Arctic, biodiversity is comparatively low with fewer species of flora and very less number of fauna that include caribou, hare, musk ox pika, and insects are the primary consumers.

Secondary consumer eats herbivores and these organisms are normally are top trophic levels in arctic include fish and polar bear. So the consumers, primary consumer and predators or secondary consumers form a short and less complex.

Thus, the correct answer is - option A. short and less complex.
