Biology
1 answer:
Zanzabum3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

In point mutation, alteration affects only one single nucleotide.

In base substitution mutation, one single nucleotide is swapped with another nucleotide

In frameshift mutation, the addition or deletion of one or more base pairs could lead to shift in the arrangement

In triplet repeat mutation, a base pair repeats until it reaches threshold limit

Explanation:

In point mutation, alteration affects only one single nucleotide. This alteration could be insertion, deletion or substitution of only one single nucleotide.  

In base substitution mutation, one single nucleotide is swapped with another nucleotide during the replication process of DNA.  

In frameshift mutation, the addition or deletion of one or more base pairs could lead to shift in the arrangement of triple nucleotide bases.  

For instance if the base pair is

AAT  GCC  CGA TCT

If insertion occurs at second base pair, then the frame will shift as below

AAT  GAC  CCG ATC  T….

In triplet repeat mutation, a base pair repeats until it reaches threshold limit and then becomes unstable

ATP is a(1 point)
Musya8 [376]

Hello there!

Your answer should be ATP is a stored form of energy.

You see, Think of it as the “energy currency” of the cell. If a cell needs to spend energy to accomplish a task, the ATP molecule splits off one of its three phosphates, becoming ADP (Adenosine di-phosphate) + phosphate. The energy holding that phosphate molecule is now released and available to do work for the cell. Hope this works!

Pyruvate is a direct precursor of anapleurotic reactions which produce which intermediates of the tca cycle?
Virty [35]

The correct answer is:  oxaloacetate

Anaplerotic reactions are chemical reactions that form intermediates that can be used in the further steps of metabolic pathways. These reactions are very important, because it is crucial for the cell to regulate concentrations of TCA cycle metabolites and intermediates.

The reaction in which pyruvate is converted to oxaloacetate is catalyzed by pyruvate carboxylase and it occurs in mitochondria. Also, pyruvate can be converted to L-malate, in a similar way.
