A explanation for phenylketonuria ​

Biology
1 answer:
liraira [26]2 years ago

Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PHA) performs an enzymatic function during the conversion of phenylalanine, to tyrosine. Existing naturally in several types of foods, for instance, breast milk, PKU is an essential α-amino acid and one of the plethora of amino acids used in the formation of proteins. Phenylalanine exists in three forms; L-phenylalanine, D-phenylalanine (mirror image of L-phenylalanine), and DL-phenylalanine which is a typic combination of D and L-phenylalanine, and unlike D and L- phenylalanine, is not found in foods. On the other hand, tyrosine, apart from being a derivative of phenylalanine, is a non-essential amino acid that forms part of the list of amino acids utile during the constitution of proteins. Ordinarily, lack of PAH leads to the accumulation of phenylalanine (the phenylalanine is not converted to tyrosine) leading to the development of a disease called Phenylketonuria (PKU).

Hope this helps!

Answer:

1) CO₂

2) 0.2551 g

Explanation:

The balanced reactions are:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

MgCO₃ + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

1) The gas produced is CO₂.

2) Calculate mass of CaCO₃:

(0.5236 g) (0.4230) = 0.2215 g CaCO₃

Convert to moles:

(0.2215 g CaCO₃) (1 mol / 100.1 g) = 0.002213 mol CaCO₃

Find moles of CaCO₃:

(0.002213 mol CaCO₃) (1 mol CO₂ / mol CaCO₃) = 0.002213 mol CO₂

Convert to mass:

(0.002213 mol CO₂) (44.01 g / mol) = 0.09738 g CO₂

Calculate mass of MgCO₃:

(0.5236 g) (0.5770) = 0.3021 g MgCO₃

Convert to moles:

(0.3021 g MgCO₃) (1 mol / 84.31 g) = 0.003583 mol MgCO₃

Find moles of MgCO₃:

(0.003583 mol MgCO₃) (1 mol CO₂ / mol MgCO₃) = 0.003583 mol CO₂

Convert to mass:

(0.003583 mol CO₂) (44.01 g / mol) = 0.1577 g CO₂

Total mass of CO₂:

0.09738 g CO₂ + 0.1577 g CO₂ = 0.2551 g CO₂

When two genes from two different people are sequenced and aligned, it is discovered that there are multiple sequence difference
REY [17]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: What is the most likely explanation for this observation, would be, B: RNA processing removes the different segments from the mRNA molecules of each person prior to translation.

Explanation:

In order for cells to work, they depend on one of the four major macromolecules; proteins. These proteins are the messengers that carry out genetic commands from the DNA and they will ensure that all processes, including transcription and translation of new proteins, are carried out correctly. In order to produce proteins, the first step is for the DNA to be transcribed into mRNA, a nucleic acid that carries out the information on the DNA for protein generation. Once transcription stops, mRNA undergoes a series of clipping and reorganizing steps that will ensure that when it is decoded for protein formation, the process will be successful. These control steps are all part of the RNA processing mechanism that enures mRNA will successfully be translated into working proteins.

The reason why from genes of different people, a very similiar protein chain may result, is also explained from the fact that codons (a grouping of three nucleotides present in mRNA), when read by ribosomes, and coupled by tRNA, can pair these codons with similar amino acids. Thus, one codon, or similar codons, may code for a singular amino acid. However, mechanisms in the cells prevent these kinds of anomalies, by repairing the mRNA sequence before it is translated into protein.
