Suppose that part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine-proline-glycine-alanine to tyrosine-histidine-glycine-alanine. This change was most likely caused by a point mutation called a <u>substitution</u>.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Any protein is synthesized by joining a number of amino acids together. This amino acid is placed based on the sequences of the DNA , for every 3 sequence there is an amino acid that is synthesized and therefore it is called as a triplet codon, since there may be many sequence for a single amino acid we call it as degenerate codon.
Answer: Option b
Explanation:In chemistry,
before any reaction would occurs, reactat must be able to overcome some certain amount of energy which is called the activation. The activation energy is usually the heat that is suppled.it is also refered to as the minimum energy needed before any reaction can take place. For reaction to take place, there must be an equilibrium( at constant temperature and pressure.
B is correct. A tendon will join a muscle to a bone, and a ligament joins a bone to another bone. I think of it this way, partly influenced by my biology teacher:
- The achilles tendon, at the back of your foot, clearly joins foot to calf muscle
- The word ligament comes from 'deligare' in Latin, which roughly means to tie together. A ligament 'ties' two bones together
I hope this helps
Answer:
D. 1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in guinea pig. Black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). This means that, as stated in the question, if a black fur parent (BB) is crossed with a white fur parent (bb), a 100% heterozygous offspring (Bb) with black fur will result.
If two heterozygous guinea pigs are crossed i.e. Bb × Bb, the following gametes will be produced by each heterozygous parent:
Bb = B and b
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be produced:
1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb
BB and Bb = black fur guinea pigs
bb = white fur guinea pigs
Answer:
ACA: Threonine
CAC: Histidine
Explanation:
To answer this question we need to remember that the ribosome reads every three bases or 'codon' in order to assign the right tRNA carrying the amino acid.
In the first artificial mRNA we see two patterns of three letter:
CAC and ACA.
In the second artificial mRNA we are able to identify three different patterns:
CAA
AAC
ACA
And they repeat, so we end with three different polypeptides: polythreonine, polyglutamine and polyasparagine. This will depend on the initial letter the ribosome starts reading.
The only amino acid that repeats in both artificial mRNAs is Threonine, and we see its pattern ACA also repeated.
So, we could assign this codon (ACA) to threonine.
We can then assume that the pattern CAC codifies for histidine since we only get this two polypeptides in the first mRNA.
Lastly with the information provided we cannot determine the codons AAC and CAA for glutamine or asparagine. We would need further experiments.
