Biology
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The type of mutation that occurs when in the DNA strand there is a change from guanine to cytosine is a nonsense mutation, since the triplet that should encode the amino acid encodes a stop codon and the protein cannot be completely synthesized.

Explanation:

The nonsense mutation consists of a change in one of the bases of the stranded DNA, which is transcribed into an altered mRNA, producing a stop codon, instead of an amino acid.

In the table it is observed that the CCA codon is a stop codon that cuts off the protein synthesis prematurely, leaving it incomplete and probably non-functional.

Sometimes this type of mutation can alter the sequence of amino acids but the protein may be complete enough to partially fulfill its function.

Chief cells are found in glands that line the inside of the stomach. These cells secrete large amounts of enzymes to aid in food
kvv77 [185]

The correct answer is: Endoplasmic reticulum.

One of the functions of the endoplasmic reticulum is transport of secretory proteins. Synthesized proteins are transported in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus.

Gastric chief cells have a high rate of enzyme secretion such as pepsinogen and gastric lipase. It is the cell also responsible for secretion of chymosin.
