Answer:

The type of mutation responsible for changing a base in the mRNA strand, without changing the coding aminoacid or protein, is called a silent mutation.

Explanation:

In a silent mutation occurs the change of a nitrogenous base in one of the codons that encodes an aminoacid, without changing the aminoacid or altering the structure or function of the protein to be synthesized.

In this type of mutations the change of the base does not mean the change of the aminoacid, because some aminoacids can be coded with more than one codon. In the case of Leucine, the codons that encode it are CUU, CUC, CUG or CUA, so even if a base changes, the final protein will be the correct one.

For the other options:

Missense: the change of the base in the DNA chain implies the change of the codon in the mRNA and of the encoded aminoacid, in that way a structural and functional alteration of the synthesized protein occurs.

Nonsense: the change in the nitrogenous base in the DNA leads to the coding of a termination codon, so that the protein is ultimately incomplete.
Insertion: in this case there is the addition of more nitrogenous bases to the DNA chain, with respect to the original one.

What organelle does the mRNA strand go to so protein synthesis can start?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The mRNA strands go to the cytoplasm to meet ribosomes so protein synthesis can start.

Explanation:

In protein synthesis, the first step is to synthesize messenger RNA, mRNA. The coping process of the DNA section for the desired protein is called transcription, and it happens in the nucleus. After that, it occurs translation, when the formed mRNA moves to the cytoplasm through the nucleus membrane pores. Protein synthesis is initiated in the cytoplasm when mRNA meets a free ribosome, the primary structure for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are made of protein and ribosomal RNA and can be found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytosol. They read the mRNA code and add the correct amino acid using transference RNA to build the protein. mARN has a start and end codon that tells where to start and stop adding amino acids. When the ribosome reaches the end codon, it means that protein synthesis is finished. The new protein is driven to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and translocated to the lumen. Once there, the protein suffers a few modifications, one of them is folding to become functional. Finally, protein is transported by vesicles to the Golgi complex, and from there to its final destiny.
