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.

Which level of organization includes all the other levels of organization?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Organism.

Explanation:

The cell is the smallest form of life. Cells work together to form tissues, tissues work together to form organs, and organs work together to create an organ system, and organ systems work together to create organisms. I believe "organism" includes all of these other levels.

1)Which of the following is a source of genetic variation
Svetllana [295]

The answer is; B

Mutations change the order of nucleotide and therefore affects codons that code for proteins. A different protein is thus produced from the wild type hence creating variations.  Genetic shuffling in sexual reproduction, also called gene recombination occurs during meiosis and also when different organisms exchange genetic material such as in bacteria.
