The mrna codon CUU could mutate to C___ and still code for leucine, which could be a neutral mutation. What is the blank?

1 answer:

8 0

A codon is a sequence of three bases found on the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is translated to produce an amino acid. Each amino acid is coded by one or more specific codons. If the codon is changed through a mutation, the amino acid produced may be different. However, in this case, the other codons that produce Leucine are:

UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG

So the code CUU could mutate to CUC, CUA or CUG and leucine would still be produced.

Explain why an mRNA transcribed from the template strand of the SIRT3 gene in normal stomach ( NS ) cells is translated to produ

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

The double-stranded DNA molecule has the potential to store genetic information in either strand, although in most organisms <u>only one strand is used to encode any particular gene</u>.

The template strand is the non-coding strand. The coding strand of DNA is the non-template (mRNA-like) strand (see attachment).

Thus, genetic information is expressed by transcription of the non-coding (template) strand of DNA, <u>which produces an mRNA molecule that has the same sequence as the coding strand of DNA</u>. Therefore, if a mRNA is transcribed from the non-template strand, the genetic information will not be contained in that strand and it would not produce a correct protein.

What type of hypothesis is demonstrated by the following statement? "There will be no difference in the number of adverse events

beks73 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "Null hypothesis".

Explanation:

Null hypothesis is characterized by stating that there is no difference between the specified populations, which is the opposite of the alternative hypothesis that states that there is a difference between the populations. Since the hypothesis included in the question states that "There will be no difference in the number of adverse events...", it is concluded that is an example of null hypothesis.
