A particular protein (Vac8) found in yeast has this N-terminal sequence, Met-Gly-Ser-Ser-Cys.... The corresponding DNA sequence

in the coding strand is 5' ATG GGC TCA TCG TGC.... If the DNA sequence is mutated to 5' CTG GGC TCA TCG TGC..., what will happen to this VAC8 gene? (in RNA, CUG codes for Leu)

Answer:

The protein will not be synthesized because this point mutation produces the loss of the start codon (substitution of Met by Leu).

Explanation:

The mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that have diverse effects on protein synthesis. A mutation in the start AUG codon may lead to the reduction and even the elimination of protein synthesis. In consequence, this type of point mutation is usually referred to as 'start-loss mutation'.

vagabundo [1.1K]
The most likely explanation for the variation is the offspring were produced from different combination of genes. A single pair of gold fish mentioned in the question means a male and a female gold fish. The two of them mated and contributed different genes to the fertilized fish eggs, this results in production of various body shape and colouration which is known as variation.

RSB [31]

Answer:

Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol which is part of the cytoplasm of the cell. Glucose is rearranged and phosphorylated to form F-1,6BP(fructose 16 bisphosphate which is very unstable) its splits into 2 phosphorylated 3C sugars (DHAP and G3P)(can interconvert) both form G3P to enter 3rd phase, G3P converted into pyruvate creates 4 ATP in total but has a net of 2 ATP and creates NADH. The raw materials needed are two molecules of NAD+ per glucose as well as 2 ATPs. Hope this helps!

Kaylis [27]
The correct answer is biological anthropology, or physical anthropology. 
It is centered around human beings only, with respect to their common or different features that they either share or don't share with their related non-human primates and other ancestors. It deals with human evolution, the study of their behavior, reproduction, etc.
