The Mfp factor is present in meat, fish, and poultry that enhances the absorption of non-heme iron that's in the same foods or in other foods eaten at the same time.
Answer:
4. c. Deletion/ frameshift mutation
5. a. Tyr Tyr Asp Ser Gly
6. A frameshift occurred which altered the identity of the amino acids following the initiator 6. methionine, but not the length of protein Q.
Explanation:
4)
A single base pair at the first position of the Arg codon i.e. CGA has been deleted. Due to the deletion, the reading frame has shifted one nucleotide backwards, altering the amino acid sequence of the protein.
5)
The genomic DNA sequence is 5'-ATG ATA CTA AGG CCC-3'. Therefore, the complementary mRNA will be 5'-UAC UAU GAU UCC GGG-3'. According to the genetic code, this mRNA sequence encodes the following amino acid sequence: Tyr Tyr Asp Ser Gly
6)
The wild type DNA sequence is:
5'-ACUGUAAUGGAGUCAGAUGAUGCAUUAAGGAGAAAUUGAAAUAAA-3'
The mutant i.e. mRNA with the added G will be
5'
ACUGUAAUGGGAGUCAGAUGAUGCAUUAAGGAGAAAUUGAAAUAAA-3'
This is a single base pair insertion and frameshift mutation that shifts the reading frame one base pair forwards. The codon that was originally GAG coding for glutamic acid (Glu) gets converted to GGA that codes for glycine. Therefore, the amino acid sequence has been altered but the polypeptide chain will still have 13 amino acids.
Answer: Codon
Explanation:
Codon refers to nucleotide triplets of mRNA that serve to specify the amino acid sequence of proteins. There are total 64 genetic code that specify 20 standard amino acids found in proteins. All codon together make genetic code. For example: AUG is codon that specify amino acid "methionine". AUG codon also serve as initiation codon during initiation of protein synthesis.
Answer: b
Explanation:
Dominant lethal alleles can be passed down if the individual can live to a reproductive age. The individual can then have children and can possibly pass down the lethal allele
