What is the difference between a missense mutation and a silent mutation..

1 answer:

4 0

Missense mutation comes under point mutation. In which single a single nucleotide gets changed which codes for the different aminoacids or simply the change in one pair of DNA. It is called non - synonymous mutations.

In silent mutation there is a change occur in DNA codon which never effect the amino acid translation and simply there is no effect or change in phenotype of a particular individual.

What is the number of chromosomes found in a parent cell?

Darya [45]

Germ cells contain a complete set of 46 chromosomes (23 maternal chromosomes and 23 paternal chromosomes). By the end of meiosis, the resulting reproductive cells, or gametes, each have 23 genetically unique chromosomes. The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell

Scientists can use mutants to study metabolic pathways. These organisms have a mutation in a gene encoding a metabolic pathway e

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

(E) Phosphoglucose isomerase (phosphohexose isomerase or glucose-6-phosphate isomerase)

Explanation:

Glyocolysis is break down of glucose into pyruvate.

Isomerization:The second step of glycolysis involves the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate (F6P). This reaction occurs with the help of the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PI). As the name of the enzyme suggests, this reaction involves an isomerization reaction.

Yeast mutant lacking phopshoglucose isomerase unable to performed this step and that's why it unable to grow in media containing glucose while in fructose break down this step is not required so it is able to grow in media containing fructose.

Deletion of phosphoglucose isomerase, prevents growth on glucose; therefore, phosphoglucose isomerase mutant is able to grown in a fructose medium.
