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.

The electron transport chain is composed primarily of what biomolecule?
lys-0071 [83]

The correct answer is proteins.

The oxidative phosphorylation in the eukaryotes takes place within the mitochondria with the help of electron transport chain. The main objective of the electron transport chain is to accumulate enough amount of protons in the intermembrane space so that there will be a concentration gradient which would help in the production of ATP.  

The electron transport chain comprises of various molecules, but majorly the proteins, which are situated in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
