Which statement best explains how mutations change the shape of flu virus antigens, preventing the attachment of antibodies?

Biology
1 answer:
Setler79 [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. Mutations change the nucleotide sequence of the gene, resulting in a different arrangement of amino acids.

Explanation:

Mutations alter the sequence of nucleotides in a molecule of DNA. DNA is used to create mRNA, which is used to create a chain of amino acids that make a protein. If the mutation changes the sequence of DNA, then the sequence of amino acids and the final protein will be different.

This can affect its structure and function. If the protein is a cell surface protein, and its structure is significantly altered, antibodies may no longer recognise and bind to the protein.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: transporting substances in a cell

Why: In eukaryotic cells, endomembrane system refers to the set of membranes present inside the cytoplasm which form single functional and developmental unit. The membranes are either connected directly or indirectly and exchange material with the help of vesicle transport. The main function of this system is to modify, pack and transport the proteins and lipids in and out of the cell. The main organelles which form the endomembrane system are- nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vesicles.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

The probability that they both were planted alone is 0.3325.

<h3>What is genetic probability?</h3>

Probability serves to mathematically estimate the possibility of events that happen by chance, that is, as a matter of luck.

In this case:

  • Number of plants planted alone = 134
  • P(both plants were planted alone) = 134/232 x 133/231 = 0.3325

So the probability that  both were planted alone is 0.3325.
