Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the chart referred to in the question. However, what appears to be the case is that the three nitrogenous bases represent codons (and the missing chart is the codon chart). The mutation that has the potential to cause more damage will be the one that would change the amino acid formed from the codon change.

A. CAU to CAC: The codons CAU and CAC both form the amino acid histidine and thus is not expected to cause a major damage.

B. UGU to UGC: The codons UGU and UGC both form the amino acid cysteine and thus is not expected to cause a major damage.

C. UCU to UUU: <u>Codon UCU forms the amino acid serine while the codon UUU forms the amino acid phenylalanine</u>. Thus, this eventual change in the amino acid formed has the potential to cause a major damage and thus option C is the correct option.

NOTE that a codon is a sequence of three DNA/RNA nucleotides that corresponds to a single amino acid.

Which statements describe gene therapy? Check all that apply.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The correct answer would be  

  • It cures all cases of cystic fibrosis.
  • It involves the modification of DNA.
  • It attempts to replace a mutated gene with normal DNA.
  • It does not always cure patients who use it.

Gene therapy is an experimental technique used to treat the genetic disorder by transplanting the normal gene into the cell in order to replace the missing or defective gene in a cell.

It helps in treating genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia et cetera.

It can be of two types of somatic gene therapy and germline gene therapy.

What role does lightning play in the nitrogen cycle?
mixer [17]
Atmospheric Fixation. The enormous energy of lightningbreaks nitrogen molecules and enables their atoms to combine with oxygen in the air forming huge nitrogen oxides. These dissolve in rain, forming nitrates, that are carried to the earth.

A scientist notices that when she adds a small, water-soluble molecule to a dish of cells, the cells turn off transcription of a
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Enzyme-linked

Explanation:

The cell surface receptors that have intracellular domains associated with enzymes are called enzyme-linked receptors. The added molecule was water-soluble and cannot pass through the membrane to bind to intracellular receptors. Binding of the added molecule to the enzyme-linked receptor led to the activation of associated enzymes to generate the response (down-regulation of expression of the target gene).

Examples of enzyme-linked receptors include tyrosine kinase receptors. Binding of the signaling molecule to these receptors triggers phosphorylation of the intracellular domain which in turn transmits the signal to the cytoplasmic messenger.
