When the amino acid sequences of insulin isolated from different organisms were determined, some differences were noted. For exa

mple, alanine was substituted for threonine, serine was substituted for glycine, and valine was substituted for isoleucine at corresponding positions in the protein.
Which of the following single base changes would result in alanine being substituted for threonine?
A) A changed to C in the third position of the codon.
B) C changed to G in the second position of the codon.
C) A changed to G in the first position of the codon.

Answer:

C) A changed to G in the first position of the codon.

Explanation:

In the translation of DNA,  triplets  or codons of mRNA  (a group of three nucleotides) are read according to a genetic code, to build proteins.

Proteins are composed of amino acids. In the translation process, each codon codes for an particular amino acid according to the  genetic code as illustrated  in the DNA codon table (attached here).  

In this table we can see that if the first position  of any of the codons coding for Threonine ( ACT, ACC, ACA, ACG) is changed for G, Adenine is going to be encoded instead of threonine.

Answer options:

  • The nucleus was unable to provide instructions for the other organelles in the cells.
  • The mitochondria were unable to undergo cellular respiration and could not produce energy for the cells to function.
  • The lysosomes were unable to remove waste from the cells.
  • The cell membrane was unable to allow substances to enter and exit the cells.

Answer:

  • The mitochondria were unable to undergo cellular respiration and could not produce energy for the cells to function.

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration. This is the process that produces energy in the form of ATP. ATP provides energy for all cellular processes. Without this energy, the cell cannot carry out its functions and will quickly die.

Aerobic respiration requires a good supply of oxygen, which the grasshopper would not have had in a sealed container.

The correct option is b

Explanation:

Phospholipids are lipids that contains a phosphate group, which forms the "head" of the molecule and is hydrophilic (water loving). The "tail" of phospholipids is made of two fatty acids which are hydrophobic (water fearing). The phospholipid in the cell membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier that regulates what goes in and out of the cell <u>thereby protecting the cell from some external molecules and ions</u>.
