If a codon is mutated, say from GGU to CGU, is the same amino acid specified?

2 answers:

In the DNA structuring, there are four nitrogen bases involved that are combined in a structure containing diffrent bases. Each codon is unique to one another and represents another material. Since the two codons are not exactly the same, the answer is no.

Answer:

The same amino acid is not specified.

Explanation:

Translation may be defined as the production of protein product from the RNA molecules with the help of enzymes and chemicals. Genetic code may be defined as the nucleotide triplet of nucleic acids that can be inherited in the organisms.

Each codon specifies a single amino acid. GGU codes for glycine whereas CGU codes for arginine. Glycine is the smallest amino acid.

Thus, the codon mutation from GGU to CGU doesnot specify the same amino acid.

How does energy flow in a food chain or web? What happens as it moves up in trophic levels

dmitriy555 [2]

As energy moves through trophic levels in an ecosystem the amount that is available decreases. ... A: Energy flows in a food web by being transferred to and between organisms as they undergo photosynthesis, are consumed by another organism, or decompose.

A plant is treated with a chemical that blocks the flow of electrons between photosystem II and photosystem I, such that protons

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Reduce or stop the production of energy molecule i.e ATP

Explanation:

Proton is an essential ingredient to carry out light reactions successfully and the proton requirement is fulfilled through the proton gradient formed along the membrane. A chemical that blocks the flow of electrons thereby hindering the flow of proton will adversely affect the electron transport chain reactions thereby causing reduced/no conversion of ADP to ATP.

Which molecule is active during the last step of DNA replication?

stepan [7]

Correct answer: Option D- DNA ligase

Explanation: In option A, thymine is a nucleotide, so it is present throughout the replication process, wherever it is required. It is added to the newly formed DNA. In option B, Helicase enzyme is active during initiation and elongation stage, as it facilitates the opening of the winded DNA strands. Option C is nucleotidase and it has no role in DNA replication. So, the correct answer is DNA ligase, which is option D.

The okazaki fragments formed during DNA replication are sealed at the end. And in this step, DNA ligase is used. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bond between the nucleotides of okazaki fragments. So it is the last active molecule of the process.

What type of conduction takes place in unmyelinated axons? What type of conduction takes place in unmyelinated axons? Continuous

Volgvan

Continuous conduction takes place in unmyelinated axon.

Explanation:

Based on the presence and absence of myelin sheath, the neurons had been classified as myelinated and non-myelinated neurons respectively.

In myelinated neurons the transmission of impulse takes place only at the non myelinated region called nodes of Ranvier. Due to this, the conduction in Myelinated neuron is saltatory.

The conduction in non-myelinated neuron takes place throughout the length of axon and it is continuous.

Saltatory conduction is faster than continuous conduction.
