Describe the general composition of a protein molecule.

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

Protein is made up of 20 different amino acids. Each amino acid consists of a central carbon. This central carbon is bonded to an amine group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), a hydrogen atom and an R group.

Amino acids can be linked together when the amine group of one amino acid is bonded to the carboxyl group of a different amino acid. The COOH donates an OH group and the NH2 donates a H. The OH and H come together to form a water molecule, so this process is called dehydration synthesis - water is removed to form something new. The bond which holds the amino acids together is called a polypeptide.

If a nonsense mutation occurs in a person’s skin cells, the mutation cannot be inherited by offspring. True or False?

This is True, as the mutation had not occurred in the person's gametes where it could then be passed down to the offspring.
