An mRNA sequence reads: GAA/GCU/AUA/CUA/UGU. What would the effect on the amino acid be if the second codon read GCA instead, an

d the third codon read AAU ?
A) Silent mutation on both, no changes whatsoever.
B) Silent mutation on second codon, third amino acid changed from PHE to STOP

Answer:

D) Silent mutation on second codon, third amino acid changed from ILE to ASN.

Explanation:

Silent mutations are usually point mutation where you change one nucleotide. Since, the nucleotide changed is the third position, it does not affect the protein being manufactured (it will still put the amino acid Ala) [look up the codon redundancy on youtub.e to understand how awesome nature is!]

On the other hand, the other mutation introduced is Missense mutation where a different Amino acid is added due to change in codon (goes from ILE to ASN).

With the endosymbiotic hypothesis in mind, what structure within modern-day chloroplasts is likely derived from the cytoplasm of
777dan777 [17]

Inner membrane of the chloroplasts

Explanation:

The present day eukayrotes are all considered to be derived from its original ancestor – the cyanobacteria.

Earlier, photosynthesis by the first photoautotrophs took place utilizing hydrogen sulphide as the electron donor. However, it was later when the cyanobacteria, which were originally residing in the mitochondria of an eukaryotic cell under an endosymbiotic relationship, developed into true chloroplasts, the use of water as electron donor to perform photosynthesis began.  

The cyanobacteria were aerobic in nature and required oxygen to survive. They evolved the chloroplasts covered with an external protective membrane and an internal membrane. It is the internal membrane which contains all the necessary organelles or components necessary for photosynthesis like thyllakoids, stroma etc which helped them to utilize water as an electron donor during photosynthesis like all the eukaryotes.

ICM.06] Scientific research shows that our global climate is changing as a result of an increase in greenhouse gases. Arctic sea
Rudik [331]

As a result of decreasing Arctic sea ice, animals that rely on the sea level for survival may become extinct as their habitat disappears.

The increase in the atmospheric greenhouse gases means that more radiant energy from the sun that could have escaped back into space is being absorbed, leading to an increase in the global temperature.

The increase in the global temperature means that more Arctic sea ice would be melting and decreasing in size. As the ice melts, the water moves into seas thereby causing a rise in their levels.

A rise in sea level means the disappearance of coastal habitats. Thus, a loss in biodiversity will occur as the habitats of plants and animals disappear as a result of the rise in sea levels.
