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.
Answer:
this mutation may change the open reading frame of the resulting RNA sequence and its final product, which is a protein in the case that this gene is used to synthesize a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence
Explanation:
During the transcription, a region of DNA named 'gene' is used as template to produce an RNA molecule, typically a primary transcript of mRNA (pre-mRNA). Subsequently, this pre-mRNA suffers a process named RNA processing in order to generate a mature mRNA which is finally used to create a protein by a process called translation. If a deletion occurs during transcription, it may change the open reading frame (ORF) of the resulting mRNA when the mutation occurs in an exon of the protein-coding gene (i.e., occurs a frameshift mutation), while this deletion may not have any effect if it is localized within the introns which are removed during RNA processing. A frameshift mutation will change the amino acids that are added to the nascent polypeptide chain during translation.
Answer:
Moves down the concentration gradient
Explanation:
Since diffusion moves materials from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, it is described as moving solutes "down the concentration gradient" (compared with active transport, which often moves material from area of low concentration to area of higher concentration...
