A normal strand of DNA is shown below, followed by the same strand of DNA after mutations have occurred. Identify the mutation a

nd the effect it would have on protein synthesis.
A) This mutation is a point mutation resulting from a base substitution. This would results in the different reading of the one codon affected by the mutation, causing the substitution of a different amino acid in an otherwise unaltered protein.
B) This mutation is a deletion mutation resulting in a frameshift. This would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. The protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.
C) This mutation is an addition mutation resulting in a frameshift. This would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. The protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.
D) This mutation is a substitution mutation resulting in a frameshift. This would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. The protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.

B) This mutation is a deletion mutation resulting in a frameshift. This would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. The protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.

Frameshift mutations, depending on their placement, tend to create massive changes in protein structure by changing all of the codons following the mutation. Frameshift mutations are apparent in severe genetic diseases such as Tay–Sachs disease and they increase susceptibility to certain cancers and classes of familial high cholesterol levels.

Viruses and bacteria can both be pathogens,
ad-work [718]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Bacteria generate toxins which can be classified as either exotoxins or endotoxins. Exotoxins are generated and actively secreted; endotoxins remain part of the bacteria. Usually, an endotoxin is part of the bacterial outer membrane, and it is not released until the bacterium is killed by the immune system.Most viral infections eventually result in the death of the host cell. The causes of death include cell lysis, alterations to the cell's surface membrane and various modes of programmed cell death. Some viruses cause no apparent changes to the infected cell.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a vestigial structure

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are a rudimentary (or even functionless) version of a body part, but they have important functions in a closely correlated or evolutionarily close species, an example of which is the presence of eyes in fish of the genus Astyanax. The existence of these vestigial structures is strong evidence that evolution occurs in organisms, since this structure, today without much apparent function, may in the past have been extremely important to the ancestors of that species.

Turtles and leopards all have four limbs and an amnion. True The common ancestor of lamprey and lancelets had a vertebral column
kramer

Answer:

Explanation:

The objective is to conclude if the statements are true or false based on facts.

1)\text{ Turtles and leopards all have four limbs and an amnion.  } True

2) \text{The common ancestor of lamprey and lancelets had a vertebral column. } False

This is because their ancestor is a Chordate who doesn't have a vertebral column but a notochord.

3) True

\text{Frogs are the sister taxa of turtles and leopards because they are more }

\text{related to a common ancestor.}

4) \text{Leopards and bass are more closely related than turtles and bass}  False

This is because the bass is a fish that possess some characteristics traits related to an amphibian (turtle) as compared to a mammal(leopard).

5) \text{The taxon that shares the most recent common ancestor with frogs is the bass.} False

The taxa of turtles share a more common ancestor with frogs compared to bass.

6) \text{Leopards and lancelets have no common ancestor. } False

The common distant ancestor for leopards and lancelets is known as  Chordates

<span>The purpose of the Human genome Project was to find the nucleotide sequence of the human genome and to also map the locations of where they are on the chromosomes. They accomplished finding how gene expressions is controlled as well as predicting disorders and now they have also developed gene therapy.</span>
