Answer:
The correct answer is "option a. it is likely it will pass to the offspring; option b. it is not very likely that it will pass to the offspring".
Explanation:
In order that a mutation could be passed to the offspring it is necessary that the affected DNA can be transmitted to the following generation. A single bacteria that contains a positive mutation in its DNA is likely to pass its mutation to the offspring since it multiples by binary fission. On the other hand, a skin cell most likely will not pass its mutation to the offspring since a skin cell is not involved in the organism reproduction, such as a sexual cell.
<span>mRNA: UACAUGGCCUUACGCUAA
tRNA: AUG UAC CGG AAU GCG AUU
a.a: Tyrosine, Methionine, Alanine, Leucine, and Arginine
DNA has 4 different bases, they are Adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and Thymine (T). RNA also has 4 bases with three of them being identical to the DNA bases and Thymine being replaced with Uracil (U). These bases are generally represented by the 1st letter of their names. Each of the bases will join with a complementary base, so A always pairs with T or U, and C will pair with G. So to create the mRNA, simply replace every A with a U, every C with a G, every G with a C, and finally, every T with a A. So
mRNA: UACAUGGCCUUACGCUAA
Now for tRNA, there's a slight twist. It only comes in 3 base codons, You won't find a sequence of tRNA other than in 3 base codons. And each of those codons will be uniquely paired with an amino acid. In the ribosomes, the mRNA will be sequentially scanned 3 bases at a time allowing for a matching tRNA sequence to bind to the exposed 3 bases, this will cause the next amino acid to be bound into the protein being constructed. So split the mRNA into 3 base sequences and calculate the complement to get the tRNA. A simple shortcut is to look at the original DNA sequence and simply replace a T bases with U. So
tRNA: AUG UAC CGG AAU GCG AUU
Notice the spaces every 3rd base. THIS IS REQUIRED. These is no continuous length of tRNA. You'll only find it in 3 base lengths and each of them will be bound with an amino acid.
For the amino acid that's coded to the RNA, you'll need to use a lookup table in your text book, or one you can find online. Then it's a simple matter of matching each 3 base sequence to the amino acid. For the sequence given we have:
AUG - Tyrosine
UAC - Methionine
CGG - Alanine
AAU - Leucine
GCG - Arginine
AUU - STOP
Notice the AUU doesn't decode to a specific amino acid. It instead indicates to the ribosome to stop the production of the protein. So the amino acid sequence for the originally given DNA sequence is:
Tyrosine, Methionine, Alanine, Leucine, and Arginine.</span>
Answer:DNA has three types of chemical component: phosphate, a sugar called deoxyribose, and four nitrogenous bases—adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. Two of the bases, adenine and guanine, have a double-ring structure characteristic of a type of chemical called a purine.
Explanation:
Candle wax is essentially the fuel that allows a candle to burn over long periods of time. Wax is composed of long chains of carbon and hydrogen that form waxy solids at room temperature and can be molded into any shape, the heat from the flame melts the candle wax into liquid vapor as well as liquid.
Answer: A. False, it should read “If a point mutation occurs in a tumor suppressor gene it can become inactivated. This allows the rate of cell division to increase unregulated.”
Explanation: I already know this for a fact.
