What is the type of mutation represented by the amino acid sequence below?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Substitution mutation

Explanation:

A substitution mutation is a type of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base is replaced by another in a sequence. This will result in the replacement of one or more amino acid in the amino acid sequence.

This is the case in this question where the original amino acid sequence was given as: Leucine – Alanine – Glycine – Leucine. After mutation, the following mutated sequence was produced: Leucine – Alanine – Valine – Leucine.

As illustrated above, one would notice that there is replacement of GLYCINE amino acid by VALINE in the mutated sequence, hence, it is an example of SUBSTITUTION MUTATION.

How many micrograms (ug) are in 3.4 x 10^-5 ounces (oz)
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

964ug

Explanation:

The problem here involves converting from one unit to another.

 We are to convert from ounces to micrograms.

                                    1ug  = 1 x 10⁻⁶g

                                    1oz  = 28.35g

       

So we first convert to grams from oz then take to ug:

 Solving:

                    1oz  = 28.35g

             3.4 x 10⁻⁵oz  will then give  3.4 x 10⁻⁵ x 28.35 = 9.64  x 10⁻⁴g

So;

                    1 x 10⁻⁶g    = 1ug

          9.64  x 10⁻⁴g will give \frac{9.64 x 10^{-4} }{1 x 10^{-6} }      = 9.64 x 10²ug or 964ug

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.50. You already have a solution that contains 10 mmol (millimoles) of a
balandron [24]

Answer:

56.9 mmoles of acetate are required in this buffer

Explanation:

To solve this, we can think in the Henderson Hasselbach equation:

pH = pKa + log ([CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH])

To make the buffer we know:

CH₃COOH  +  H₂O  ⇄   CH₃COO⁻  +  H₃O⁺     Ka

We know that Ka from acetic acid is: 1.8×10⁻⁵

pKa = - log Ka

pKa = 4.74

We replace data:

5.5 = 4.74 + log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.5 - 4.74 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

0.755 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

10⁰'⁷⁵⁵ = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.69 = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.69 . 10 = [acetate] → 56.9 mmoles
