Answer:
Missense mutation: changes the codon causing the amino acid change. If the properties of amino acid (polarity, charge etc.) remain the same, then the mutation is called conservative, in which case it may not affect the protein's function. Otherwise, the mutation is called non-conservative, and it can lead to the loss of protein function and result in disease.
Explanation:
They could improve the experiment that they made by adding another variable such as: watering the plants with fresh water. This way they could have a better comparison how plants grow based on the type of water they are exposed with.
Answer: False.
Glycogen synthase does not catalyse all the steps in glycogen synthesis.
Explanation:
Glycogen synthesis or glycogenesis is the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. It requires ATP and it take place in it cytosol. Glycogen synthesis involves six steps and glycogen synthase take part in only one step.
Glycogen synthase is a key enzyme in glycogen synthesis. It is glycosyltransferase that catalyses the reaction of UDP glucose and (1,4-a-D-glycosyl)n to give (1,4-a-D-glycosyl)n+1.
The diploid chromosome number is double the haploid chromosome number. So if the haploid number is 14, the diploid number is 28.
