Mad cow disease is caused by a prion. A prion is a malformed protein that is found in the brain tissue of infected cows, and exp

osure can be fatal. Meat that comes in contact with infected tissue becomes contaminated with the prion. Currently, there are no treatments for prion diseases because prions are hard to target and are too similar to normal proteins. To prevent the disease, scientists would most likely recommend that

Answer:

The correct answer would be - brain tissues of infected should be separated from the meat so prion will not infect meat and cause disease.

Explanation:

Prions are the protein that leads to the other proteins to misformed or fold like them when getting in touch. These proteins can infect any normal protein through touched or contact. They cause disease in both humans and animals like a cow.

In human CJD is a common prion disease whereas in cows mad cow is normal. There is no known treatment for these diseases however can prevent it by separated animal meat with their brain tissue. Brain tissue mixing up or come in contact with meat can infect the meat with prions and result in disease to the person who eats it.

Thus, the correct answer is - brain tissues of infected should be separated from the meat so prion will not infect meat and cause disease.

meat handlers keep brain tissue from coming in contact with other meat.

hope this helps :)

What results from the addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number except a multiple of 3?
eimsori [14]
Addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number besides 3 results in a "frame-shift mutation."
This is because every 3 nucleotides of DNA/mRNA exons codes for a single amino acid in the synthesis of a protein. This triplet codon theory means that if 3 nucleotides are added or deleted then an amino acid will be added or lost, but subsequent codons and amino acids will still be read correctly.
However, if any number of nucleotides other than 3 are added or removed, then the codons following the mutation will be out of "sync," in terms of the reading order.
Hence it is called a frame-shift mutation because it shift the reading frame when translating nucleic acids into proteins. Frame shifts will lead to the wrong amino acids being adding in the wrong order for the rest of the code after the mutation.
