TACATCCATCAGTTACGC A guanine replaced the 1st Thymine in the original DNA strand above, how many amino acids would be changed as

a result?
Biology

Julli [10]2 years ago

Answer:

One amino acid

Explanation:

This question is describing the occurrence of the process of mutation, which is the alteration in the genetic sequence of a gene. In this question, a DNA sequence was given as follows: TAC-ATC-CAT-CAG-TTA-CGC. However, a SUBSTITUTION MUTATION took place in such a way that the thymine base was replaced by a guanine base to have mutated sequence: GAC-ATC-CAT-CAG-TTA-CGC.

Since the mutation is a kind of substitution mutation, only the codon affected by that mutation will change. This DNA sequence will be transcribed into a mRNA sequence. The mRNA will be read codon by codon (a group of hree nucleotides) to produce amino acid. Since one codon will be involved, one amino acid will be affected.

muminat
Animal fats and hydrogenated vegetable margarine contain saturated triglycerides. Saturated triglycerides are those that are made of saturated fatty acids. These saturated fatty acids are capable of forming atheroma (/plaques) along arterial walls, causing atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis. These could both result in coronary thrombosis (blocking of a coronary artery by a clot of blood), and hence a myocardial infarction (heart attack).

Which water-soluble vitamin can regenerate vitamin e after it has been oxidized?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Vitamin C is the water soluble vitamin that can regenerate vitamin E after it has been oxidized. Because vitamin C is an acid, it is reasonably stable in acidic solutions, but in neutral or basic solutions it is easily and rapidly oxidized by dissolved oxygen. The oxidation of vitamin C, Ascorbic acid, is brought about by the loss of two hydrogen atoms as the vitamin is converted to dehydroascorbic acid. Vitamin C functions as antioxidant, assists in synthesis of collagen, a component of the connective tissue, synthesis of DNA, bile, neurotransmitters, thyroid and other hormones.

When might a doctor prescribe<br> steroids?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Doctors prescribe them to treat problems such as delayed puberty and other medical problems that cause the body to make very low amounts of testosterone. Steroids make muscles bigger and bones stronger. They also may cause puberty to start and can help some boys who have a genetic disorder to grow more normally.

Leni [432]
This could lead to high blood sugar levels and bring about steroid produced glucose. 
The use of steroids can cause significantly high blood sugar levels. These hormones decrease the effectiveness of insulin and make your liver dump more glucose into the bloodstream. Therefore the insulin amounts will need to be decreased as steroid levels decrease.
