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.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

No, glycolysis can not be continued without fermentation in the absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

In the absence of oxygen, cells perform fermentation to oxidize NADH into NAD+. NAD+ is required during the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate into 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate. Fermentation reduces pyruvate and oxidizes NADH so that the NAD+ supply is continued to ensure continuity of glycolysis.

If fermentation does not occur under anaerobic conditions, cells will accumulate pyruvate and NADH. Glycolysis could not be continued in the absence of NAD+.

Answer:

Options B and C

Explanation:

Living things can be divided into three domains: archaea, bacteria and eukarya

The domain "eukarya" includes kingdom fungi, plantae, and animalia

A Fungus is any member of the kingdom Fungi. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms typically having chitin cell walls but no chlorophyll or plastids. Fungi may be unicellular or multicellular. Examples of fungi are mushroom, yeast, mucor etc

Plants are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that have double-membraned chloroplasts in its cells containing chlorophyll.

Animals are multicellular organisms that is usually mobile, whose cells are not encased in a rigid cell wall (distinguishing it from plants and fungi) and which derives energy solely from the consumption of other organisms (distinguishing it from plants).
