Answer:

mRNA: 3' AUG-AAU-GCU-GCC-GGU-GA-5'

amino acids : methionine, asparagine, alanine, arginine, proline

type of mutation: deletion, missense

Explanation:

The mRNA sequence is complementary to the DNA sequence. A always pairs with T, C always pairs with G. Except this is an RNA sequence not a DNA sequence, so T is replaced with U.

The mRNA sequence is translated into an amino acid sequence based on the triplet code. The triplet code for this sequence is shown in the attached picture. Each triplet signifies a specific amino acid. The codon can be identified from the table and placed in sequence. We can see that the new DNA strand has caused a new amino acid sequence. It has also left us with an incomplete sequence, as GA cannot signify an amino acid.

The type of mutation is a single base deletion. We can see that the base C is missing from the 9th amino acid in the original strand. As you can see, this has an ongoing affect on all the bases in the rest of the sequence, as it changes the way the sequence is organised into codons. This results in a missense mutation.

What is the atom structure?

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged). Atoms have different properties based on the arrangement and number of their basic particles.

Answer:

During mitosis, the nucleus divides. Mitosis is followed by cytokinesis, when the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two cells. After cytokinesis, cell division is complete. Scientists say that one parent cell, or the dividing cell, forms two genetically identical daughter cells, or the cells that divide from the parent cell. The term "genetically identical" means that each cell has an identical set of DNA, and this DNA is also identical to that of the parent cell. If the cell cycle is not carefully controlled, it can cause a disease called cancer, which causes cell division to happen too fast. A tumor can result from this kind of growth.

During mitosis, the two sister chromatids must be split apart. Each resulting chromosome is made of 1/2 of the "X". Through this process, each daughter cell receives one copy of each chromosome. Mitosis is divided into four phases:

Prophase: The chromosomes "condense," or become so tightly wound that you can see them under a microscope. The wall around the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, disappears. Spindles also form and attach to chromosomes to help them move.

Metaphase: The chromosomes line up in the center of the cell. The chromosomes line up in a row, one on top of the next.

Anaphase: The two sister chromatids of each chromosome separate, resulting in two sets of identical chromosomes.

Telophase: The spindle dissolves and nuclear envelopes form around the chromosomes in both cells.

What is the relationship between skin, sunlight, bones, and vitamin d ?

sladkih [1.3K]

Here is the answer to the given question above. Vitamin D is the vitamin that is essential in managing calcium in your blood, bones and gut and helps cells all over your body to communicate properly. This vitamin D is being absorbed through the skin once it is exposed in sunlight. After that, the body would undergo some chemical processes. This is the reason why it is necessary in the formation of bones. Hope this answer helps.

Why was PCR amplification of the 35S promoter from the cauliflower mosaic virus chosen as the means to detect whether or not a f

Serga [27]

Answer:

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Explanation:

Note that Polymerases Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to amplify food DNA to test for the presence of genetically modified DNA in food products because usually DNA fragments can be isolated from highly processed goods and are sufficiently intact to be amplified by PCR.

The process used by Genetic engineers is called gel electrophoresis where only a small number of regulatory sequences (promoter and terminator sequences) are used to control the expression of the inserted genes.
