Answer: Non sense mutation took place over here.

Explanation:

Mutation took place over here where, the base A was inserted in place of the start codon AUG.

This states that the last codon will code for a stop signal instead of amino acid.

This is a type of non sense mutation when the ribosome is stopped from reading a stretch of mRNA because a stop codon is present over there.

The original set of codon is replaced by the stop codon and the protein synthesis is stopped.

Does anyone know this??
Mandarinka [93]

Bauxite ore is one of the primary source of aluminum but it must first be chemically processed to produce alumina (aluminum oxide). The next step of aluminum production is smelting of alumina using an electrolysis process (Hall-Heroult process). This electrolysis process is driven by electrical current. Electrolyte (molten salt) with immersed carbon anodes is used in order to dissolve the alumina. Carbon anodes are carrying electrical current and thee chemical bond between aluminum and oxygen in the alumina is broken.

We would expect that a 15-nucleotide sequence that includes a stop codon at the end (as part of the 15-nucleotide sequence) will

Answer: Four amino acids.

Explanation:

RNA (ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides. Thus, a nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids and consists of a sugar molecule (ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) linked to a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. <u>The nitrogenous bases can be Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) or Uracil (U) replacing T in RNA</u>. DNA is the molecule that stores the genetic information to synthesize polypeptides or proteins (set of amino acids). When proteins need to be created, DNA is transcribed into RNA and this RNA is translated in ribosomes to create polypeptides.

Complementarity is the ability to combine with their complement. A and T (or U) are complementary, while C and G are complementary to each other. Complementarity is the principle of replication and transcription, because it is a propery of both DNA and RNA sequences. Their the nucleotide bases at each position of the sequences are complementary, allowing cells to copy information.

Nucleotides in RNA are grouped into codons, which consist of groups of 3 nucleotides where each codon codes for an amino acid. Therefore, <u>the sequence of bases in nucleic acids determines which protein will be synthesized</u>. Protein synthesis begins with a start codon (AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine) and ends with a stop codon (UGA, UAG and UAA). So, if there are 15 nucleotides, there are 15 bases. Since they are grouped in groups of 3, we will have a polypeptide of 4 amino acids.

<u>3 nucleotides form a codon, so 12 nucleotides form 4 codons giving 4 amino acids. The last codon, is formed by the last 3 nucleotides and form the stop codon that stop protein synthesis</u>.
