Hi,

If a point mutation occurs during which  CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.

This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.

We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism

Hope it helps!:)

Answer:

Nothing will happen since the last codon will still correspond to threonine.

How would inbreeding affect allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in a population?
Finger [1]
<h2>Inbreeding </h2>

Explanation:

Inbreeding is defined as the formation of offspring which results from the mating of two closely related organisms

Inbreeding affects allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in a population in following ways:

  • Inbreeding increases homozygosity which in turn decreases the biological fitness of a population because there are chances that offsprings will be affected by deleterious traits in this case
  • Inbreeding itself does not cause evolution, because allele frequencies do not change in the population as a whole

Why does NADH and FADH2 donate their H+ to the electron transport chain readily?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

b. Because they have a low affinity for the H+

Explanation:

All electrons that enter the transport chain come from NADH and FADH2 molecules that are produced in earlier phases of cellular respiration: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle.

NADH is very good at donating electrons in redox reactions (that is, its electrons are at a high energy level), so you can transfer your electrons directly to complex I and transform it back into NAD +. The movement of electrons through complex I in a series of redox reactions releases energy, which the complex uses to pump protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space.

FADH2 is not as good for donating electrons as NADH (that is, its electrons are at a lower energy level), so it cannot transfer its electrons to complex I. Instead, it introduces electrons to the transport chain through complex II, which does not pump protons through the membrane.
