Increased numbers of CAG repeats in the exon of a gene is associated with certain diseases. In a specific gene, the existing CAG

codons are in the 'zero' reading frame, in- frame with the AUG initiation codon. The effect of increased numbers of CAG repeats on the encoded protein is:___________. a. to silence of the gene to generate a truncated protein b. to generate a protein with a run of consecutive glutamines c. to generate a frameshifted protein product d. none of the above

Answer:

The correct answer is - option b. to generate a protein with a run of consecutive glutamines.

Explanation:

The initiation code AUG is the code for methionine and as well as the initiation code for the particular protein or peptide chain. In this protein, there is a repeat of CAG is increased with the initiation code so, even though they are in zero reading frame they code for their amino acid which is glutamine.

So. an increased number of CAG repeats will result in a protein with the a run of consecutive glutamines.

3 best methods of determining latitude
Anit [1.1K]
Latitude measures how far a point is north or south of the equator. Since the earth is round, distance from the equator is measured in angular degrees with the equator being 0 degrees and the northernmost point -- the North Pole -- being at 90 degrees. The southernmost point -- the South Pole -- is also at 90 degrees.<span>Latitude is measured in degrees north when in the northern hemisphere and degrees south when in the southern hemisphere.

Hope this helps. :)</span>
