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.

Explain the characteristics scientists use when observing organisms and placing them in the six kingdoms
Art [367]

There were several characteristics that the scientists kept in mind while classifying, these are mobility, cell structure, cell type, body type, etc.

<h3>What is classification?</h3>

Classification is the grouping of organisms based on similar characteristics which makes them different from other groups.

There are the following characteristics to classify them:

  • Mobility: it includes whether the organism is moving or sessile.
  • Cell type: it includes eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells.
  • Cell structure: it includes whether the cells have a cell wall or not.
  • Body type: it includes whether the organism is unicellular or multicellular.
  • Mode of nutrition: It includes whether the organism is parasitic, autotrophic, symbiotic, consumer, etc.

Thus, these are the characteristics that the scientists kept in mind before drawing classification.
