The genetic code is carried by the DNA molecule in most organisms. DNA is the store for hereditary information.

In eukaryotic cells, DNA is found in the cell nucleus, while in prokaryotes it is found in the nucleosome.

The genetic code is the triplets of nucleotides in DNA and RNA that define and direct which amino acid is used in protein synthesis.

The genetic code is expressed in 64 different triplet combinations that code for different amino acids. Three of these triplets are called non sense triplets or codons because they do not code for any amino acid. The rest are sense codons.

A phagocytic cell has a mutation in a gene for a hydrolytic enzyme that renders the enzyme nonfunctional. What is the most likel

pshichka [43]

Answer: The phagocyte’s ability to destroy the ingested pathogen is compromised and it will become inactive.

Explanation:

There are different hydrolytic enzymes. Lysozyme attacks cell walls of gram positive bacteria. Elastase is a protease. Collagenase attacks collagen, produced by some bacteria. Plasminogen activator is also a protease.

Loss of function of any one of these enzymes will reduce or prevent the breakdown of bacteria in the phagosome (vacuole) so that the phagocyte is inactivated.
