Answer:
This process is called metabolism
Answer:
an explanation that is backed up by evidence
According to molecular biology, a transcript
factor also known as sequence-specific binding factor is a protein that ASSIST
the rate of transcription of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA by
binding to a specific DNA sequence. In order for it to be expressed at
the right cell at the right time its function is to regulate genes.
Answer:
2, 4 and 5
Explanation:
The wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (a typical Mycobacterium) has a high lipid content, hence it does not respond to gram staining. Instead, acid-fast staining or Ziehl-Neelsen stain is used in its identification.
The cell wall of Mycobacterium species is thicker in comparison with other bacteria in the sense that it is hydrophobic, waxy and contains a unique acidic wax, known as mycolic acid.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an obligate aerobe, which means it is strictly dependent on oxygen. It thrives (multiplies) best under this condition.
Some species of Mycobacterium ate saprophytic i.e. they live on dead organic matter while some are obligate parasites that live on tissues e.g M.tubercosis and M.leprae causes tuberculosis and leprosy in humans respectively.
Answer:
The mutations lie at locations where they don't affect protein sequence due to degeneracy of the genetic code.
Explanation:
Genetic code is the set of the triplet codons each of which code for a specific amino acid. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of triplets during the process of protein synthesis and the respective amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The genetic code is degenerate. This means that more than one triplet code specifies one amino acid and some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon.
For instance, genetic codes CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG specify amino acid "leucine". Therefore, any change in the DNA sequence that replaces one code for the leucine with another would not affect the amino acid composition of the protein. This would result in the synthesis of proteins with the same amino acid sequence from both the wild type and mutated genes.
