Hydroxylamine is a mutagen that acts only on cytosine and causes C-->T and G-->A base pair changes (i.e. it causes transit

ion mutations at GC sites). A normal sequence of a protein contains a PROLINE residue (pro) at a particular place. What new amino acid(s) would appear in place of the proline residue as a result of hydroxylamine mutagenesis?

Options for the question are not given. They are as follows:

a. arg or lys

b. ala

c. thr

d. leu or ser

e. Only termination codons

Answer:

d. leu or ser

Explanation:

Four codons code for proline amino acid. These are CCT, CCC, CCA, and CCG. Hydroxylamine causes C to change into T or G to change into A.

If first position is changed in each codon:

CCT = TCT (UCU)

CCC = TCC (UCC)

CCA = TCA (UCA)

CCG = TCG (UCG)

These codons produce Serine amino acid.

If second position is changed in each codon:

CCT = CTT (CUU)

CCC = CTC (CUC)

CCA = CTA (CUA)

CCG = CTG (CUG)

These codons produce Leucine amino acid.

Hence, out of the given options, option d. leu or ser is correct.

EPA scientists performed an experiment where coal was
iris [78.8K]

The results of the study would be expected to change if the same experiment were repeated with natural gas in the area of a decrease in the reaction time.

<h3>What is Reaction time?</h3>

This is the time frame between when a stimulus and a response or total time taken for a reaction to occur.

Natural gas produces steady amount of heat with a higher temperature which leads to a decrease in reaction time.

How are nails formed
Damm [24]
Nails start in the nail root, hidden under the cuticle. When cells at the root of the nail grow, the new nail cells push out the old nail cells. These old cells flatten and harden, thanks to keratin, a protein made by these cells. The newly fromed nail then slides along the nail bed, the flat surface under your nails.
