g A mutation occurs upstream of gene A in the region encoding the ribosome binding site, making it bind more weakly to the ribos

ome. Predict how this mutation will impact the levels of mRNA and protein produced for gene A. Clearly state how mRNA levels will change and how protein levels will change in this mutant relative to wild type bacteria. Restrict your answer to 1-2 sentences.

Answer:

it is expected that the mutation results in a reduced initiation of translation and thereby decreasing the level of the protein A, while it does not change the level of mRNA A

Explanation:

Translation in bacteria starts with the formation of the initiation complex which is composed of the small ribosomal subunit, the messenger RNA (mRNA), initiation factors and the initiator transference RNA (tRNA) containing N-formyl-methionine. The small ribosomal subunit binds to a polypurine stretch of variable length in the mRNA called 'the Shine-Dalgarno sequence'. A mutation in this sequence reduces the affinity of the ribosome for the mRNA, thereby, in this case, decreasing the level of protein A. Since transcription occurs before translation, it is expected that this mutation does not change the level of expression of the mRNA A.

Maru [420]

Answer:

In a particular case of secondary succession, three species of wild grass all invaded a field. By the second season, a single species dominated the field and the other two species had a lower relative abundance. A possible factor contributing to the abundances of these species in this example of secondary succession is <u>inhibition</u>.

Explanation:

Trees are great examples of allelopathy in plants. Some use their allelochemicals to inhibit germination or impede development of nearby plant life. Most allelopathic trees release these chemicals through their leaves, which are toxic once absorbed by other plants. Black walnut is a prime example of this.

A: Population
If a group of one certain species are living in the same area they are a population. The same goes for humans, we are the same species and when we live in the same area we say we are part of a population. That’s why you would hear things like “the population of massachusetts is 2million” or whatever it is.
