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'.

What are the benefits of scientists using the metric system worldwide?
Basile [38]

Answer;

-Reduce the chance of errors in correspondence

-Easier to use for converting between units while measuring

-Make communication easier between scientists comparing data

Explanation;

-The metric system is a system that is based on joining one of a series of prefixes, including kilo-, hecto-, deka-, deci-, centi-, and milli-, with a base unit of measurement, such as meter, liter, or gram.

-Since the metric system is a decimal system of weights and measures it is easy to convert between units simply by multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc.

-It is an alternative system of measurement used in most countries, as well as in the United States.

Chromosome.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1. x chromosome

2.males

3.one X and one Y chromosome.

4. two X chromosomes

5. a very common trait in humans and frequently used to explain X-linked disorders.[8] Between seven and ten percent of men and 0.49% to 1% of women are affected. Its commonness may be explained by its relatively benign nature. It is also known as daltonism.

6.Females with one copy of the mutated gene are carriers. X-linked inheritance means that the gene causing the trait or the disorder is located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome.

If a cells nucleus has 55% adenine bases, how many cytosine bases will be present?
Nostrana [21]

If a cell’s nucleus has 55% adenine bases it also has 55% thymine bases, so the percentage of cytosine bases is 45% as same as  guanine bases.

This is known as Chargaff's rule which states that DNA should have a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases (the amount of guanine should be equal to cytosine and the same thing with adenine and thymine).

DNA molecule globally has percentage base pair equality: %A = %T and %G = %C.
