How does the proofreading mechanisms in viruses affect the frequency of the mutations a virus typically undergoes?

Biology
1 answer:
SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

DNA polymerases are the enzymes that build DNA in cells. DNA polymerase also proofread their work to check for any error the process of which is called proof reading.

If the polymerase detects that an Incorrectly paired nucleotide has been added, it will remove (splicing) and replace the nucleotide with the correct one before it continues with DNA synthesis.

Mismatch repairing also corrects other errors that omit proofreading. They fix mismatched base pairs, replace some insertion and deleted base pair that can result into mutations.

When an error is corrected the rate of mutation is reduced this is because mutation results from error during the DNA formation process either through Insertion of a wrong nitrogenous base, or deletion leading to formation of an entirely new amino acid sequence that result into abnormal phenotype.

What are the structural characteristics that give the phosphoanhydride bond its high-energy status?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The answer to the given question out of the four options provided is given by:

Option a. Hydrolysis products are more resonance stabilized.

Explanation:

The answer selection to the above question can be justified as Phosphoanhydride on hydrolysis releases free high energy as the bonds formed by phosphoanhydride are the bonds with high energy.

Therefore, the product of hydrolysis after releasing this energy is more resonance stabilized.

How does calcium form an ion?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: By losing its two outermost electron

Explanation:

Calcium is a element that belongs to group 2 in the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 20, and an electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 2.

Hence, to form an octet structure, it gives off its two electrons as shown below:

Ca <----> Ca2+ + 2e-

Thus, by losing its two outermost electrons, a positively charged calcium ion (Ca2+) is formed
