Biology
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Translation will not occur.

Explanation:

The start codon is responsible for the initiation of translation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. AUG is the start codon in both which code for methionine in eukaryotes and formyl methionine and prokaryotes.

Therefore if the starts codon becomes mutated than the tRNA would not able to recognize the initiation codon and no methionine would be added as the first amino acid so the translation process might not start and no protein forms. Then the ribosome scans further for the next start codon to start translation.

Otrada [13]
It is important to note that such animals living in desert conditions do not waste water by sweating to control body temperature. They mostly try burrowing during the day time to avoid getting dehydrated. Their urine is highly concentrated and it is mostly in the form of uric acid. These means help the desert animals to survive in such harsh conditions.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - option B. information system.

Explanation:

DNA is the unit of heredity as it contains the genetic code of an organism which is carried all the genetic information and transfer from the parent cell to the daughter cell. It also carries the information required for making all essential proteins in an organism.

So, if an organism did not have DNA, it would be missing the information system which is also responsible for the cell division other than given information.
