Answer:
B) missense mutation
Explanation:
A type of base substitution that results in the replacement of one amino acid by another is called missense mutation. Missense mutations affect the mutated proteins in several ways. It may alter the amino acid composition of the active site of enzymes and render the enzymes inactive.
The wild type polypeptide chain has the following sequence of amino acids: Met-Ala-Gln-Arg-Glu-Leu. The mutated polypeptide has glycine in place of arginine. The rest of the amino acids are the same in wild type and mutated protein. This means that the mutation changed the genetic code of arginine into the genetic code of glycine resulting in the incorporation of glycine in position 4. This is an example of a missense mutation.
Answer:
The principle of autonomy
A bacterium has a faulty lac operon in which there is a structural defect in the operator. In this bacterium there is a structural problem with a segment of DNA that binds a repressor.
- A protein known as a repressor binds to an operator site. The operator in this instance (and numerous others) is a section of DNA that lies just downstream of the RNA polymerase binding site or overlaps with it (promoter). In other words, it lies between the operon's promoter and its genes.
- The repressor protein inhibits the synthesis of messenger RNA by attaching to the promoter region of the gene(s) (mRNA). The control of gene expression in cells requires repressor proteins.
- Thus, by physically impeding the RNA polymerase's ability to operate, these repressor proteins stop the gene from being transcribed.

The question is somewhat confusing. I would choose "none of the above" because none of the choices are blood vessels. However, the heart is the pump that moves blood through the network of blood vessels that distribute and collect materials throughout the body.
