Answer:
A mutation in the N-terminal region may alter protein stability
Explanation:
Transport proteins are proteins capable of transporting substances through biological membranes. These proteins are located within cellular membranes where they form channels that allow the movement of substances between the internal and external sides of the membrane. The N-terminus is the first region in the protein that emerges from the ribosome during its synthesis. This region is usually composed of signal peptides consisting of about 30 amino acids required for protein delivery. Moreover, the N-terminal region is also important because it dictates protein degradation by peptidases. Consequently, mutations in the N-terminal region of transport proteins can alter the properties of these proteins, i.e., either by modifying protein stability or by altering protein signaling.
Answer:
The correct answer is: None of the above. The accurate answer is: Problem or inability in detecting the sensory information.
Explanation:
- Sensory receptor cells form the part of the sensory epithelial layer that are present in the form of a lining in all sensory organs.
- These sensory cells possess some specialised receptor molecules, usually on the surface of the cells, that can sense different types of sensory signals like light, in case of eyes, smell is case of nose, taste in case of tongue and sound in case of ears.
- Any damage caused to these cells will adversely affect their capability to perceive or receive or detect the sensory signals.
- Option I is incorrect because sensory cells are not only present in the eyes and ears but also in nose, tongue, skin. The activity of the sensory cells of one organ is independent of the activity of sensory cells of other organs hence, damage to the sensory cells of one organ will not create any confusion in different sensory inputs.
- Option II is incorrect because integration of all the sensory impulses occur in the brain after the impulse has been received and detected by multiple sensory receptor cells and send to the brain through the sensory neurons.
In a scientific it would be called a satellite, don't question it.<span />
