A ribosome<span> is a cell organelle. ... </span>Ribosomes<span> are found 'free' in the </span>cytoplasm<span> or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to form rough ER. In a mammalian cell there can be as many as 10 million </span>ribosomes<span>. Several </span>ribosomes<span> can be attached to the same mRNA strand, this structure is called a polysome.
</span>Ribosomal<span> protein synthesis in eukaryotes is a major metabolic activity. It </span>occurs<span>, like most protein synthesis, in the </span>cytoplasm<span> just outside the nucleus. Individual </span>ribosomal <span>proteins are synthesized and imported into the nucleus through nuclear pores.</span>

<h3>Question from alternative source</h3>
Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by different mutations within the CFTR gene. One mutation in the CFTR gene that leads to cystic fibrosis causes translation to end earlier in the gene sequence. Which type of mutation causes this translation error that leads to cystic fibrosis?
- silent
- missense
- nonsense
- deletion
Answer:
Nonsense
Explanation:
Nonsense mutations describe mutations that produce a premature stop codon. The stop codons are UAG, UAA, and UGA. A way in which this could arise is, for example, if there was a substution of a nucleotide in the mRNA codon UAC (which codes for the amino acid Tyrosine) to the nucleotide UAG (which codes for a stop codon).
The translation machinery would reach this codon, which signals that translation should be terminated. This would mean that the mRNA would be released, and a truncated (shortened) version of the amino acid would be produced. This is likely to be non-functional, and may even be marked for destruction by the cell.
Answer:
Though these genes are recessive, it is still very much possible for the offspring to inherit this, and the lethal gene is no different.
Explanation:
Suppose this animal breeder picked a dog who appeared to be happy and healthy and paired with another healthy dog. One of these healthy dogs may have this recessive lethal gene, though they have not been affected by it, their offspring may be likely to.
