Answer:
Monoclonal antibodies can treat cancer as well as other illness such as the coronavirus by mimicking the body's immune system. They recognize and target specific proteins on cells. Some on cancer cells by basically blocking signals that tell cancer cells to divide.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
Which of the following mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?
A) a duplication of all or most introns
B) a large inversion whose ends are each in intergenic regions
C) a nucleotide substitution in an exon coding for a transmembrane domain
D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site
E) a frameshift mutation one codon away from the 3' end of the nontemplate strand
Answer: D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site
Explanation:
Deletion or insertion of a single nucleotide in an axon coding for an active site is called frameshift mutation.
The sequence of codons is read during translation, in order to synthesize a amino acids chain and form a protein from the nucleotide sequence. Frameshift mutations occur when the usual codon sequence is broken by the deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides. For example, if only one nucleotide is removed from the axon sequence during the RNA splicing process, then there will be a disrupted reading frame for all codons before and after the mutation. This may result in several incorrect amino acids being introduced into the protein. Disruption in protein sequence will cause phenotypic change.
Hence, the correct option is D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site
.
Answer – D. RNA
Like proteins, Ribonucleic acid is another kind of organic molecule that also acts as a catalyst for chemical reactions. Asides acting a catalyst for chemical reactions, proteins have a wide variety of functions that they perform in in living cells.
A scientific model is a claim or a theory that helps explain how a phenomenon works or how it undergoes process. This models provides scientists an understanding of the object or a situation undergoes change and generate certain outcomes or effects.
The Golgi apparatus.
