What are mutation beneficial examples?
Bacteria and viruses gaining resistance to antibiotics and antivirals.
How are the plant cells important to its overall function?
because it helps respires you to do photosynthesis
Quaternary structure of proteins?
The quaternary structure is the overall structure of an enzyme complex. This is made of at least two separate polypeptide chains. The 3D structure of one polypeptide is known as the tertiary structure.
Write a sentence using silent mutation missense mutation frameshift mutation non sense mutation deletion dupication inversion transloction gene rearangement?
a silent mutation is one that doesn't affect the overall physiological role or roles of the species, so it has no change or noticeable change in the subject. A missense mutation simply causes one amino acid to change into a different amino acid, it could cause a problem or it could not. A frameshift is when an amino acid is removed. The removal moves all amino acids hereafter over one, which changes the codon sequence of the entire gene. This mutation can be detrimental. A nonsense mutation is usually classified as a premature stop codon. It's a point mutation that can cause a gene to become smaller than it really is. an inversion is the reversal of a gene, which is also very problematic. Translocations are removal of one amino acid, which is then transferred to a separate nonhomologous chromosome. A gene rearrangement is just another name for a duplication, inversion, or deletion. It's not one sentence, but it is a hell of a lot of good information. email for questions: bmalinak@gmail.com
How would the transcription of a eukaryotic gene be affected if a replication error changed the nucleotide?
Extra long proteins are likely to fold improperly and not function correctly. The overall health of the individual would be destroyed.
1 Do polymorphism and mutation explain the same biological phenomenon?
no polymorphism and mutation are different.polymorphism represents overall change in an organism whereas mutation may or may not bring overall change.
What is the overall function of organelles that are present in a cell?
The function greatly varies from organelle to organelle, for example. ribosomes make proteins, vacuoles store matter, etc.
What are mutation beneficial examples?
Bacteria and viruses gaining resistance to antibiotics and antivirals.
How important is the function of every part of the cell to the overall functioning of the body?
every cell perform different function so overall function of the body is relevent to the every cell
What is the overall chemical function of the body?
METABOLISM
What is an example of sickle cell?
A Sickle Cell is a type of Red Blood Cell (RBC) seen in the Sickle Cell Disease. This disease has an abnormal Hemoglobin molecule, termed Hemoglobin S. This is due to a point mutation in the Beta-Globin Gene on chromosome 11. The disease itself is homozygous and recessive so one can have the trait and not have the disease if one of the parents have it. The patients with this disease have lifelong hemolytic anemia and increased susceptibility to infections.As for how the cells came to be called Sickle Cells, one has to understand the molecular structure of the Globin (protein) portion of Hemoglobin. In this disease, a polar amino acid (Glutamate) is replaced by a non polar amino acid (Valine) in the Globin molecule, thus reducing its overall charge. This also causes a protrusion in the Hemoglobin surface that more or less fits a pocket like structure in another Hemoglobin molecule in the cell. During low oxygen tension, the hemoglobin molecules polymerize, or get attached to one another forming a network of mis-shaped, stiff and distorted cells. These cells are called Sickle Cells.
What is the overall function of the muscle system?
it helps with movements
What role do cells play in the overall function of a living thing?
no
How many amino acids are affected from point mutation?
A point mutation can affect the protein in a different ways. If the point change causes a silent mutation then it doesnt affect at all. When the point nucleotide change make a different amino acid, then it may alters the function of protein. If it make to forma a stop codon (TAA, TAG, TGA) then the protein synthesis stops at the point where it is changed.
What is the function of robotics?
Every robot has a different function, but overall, robots are designed to have a positive impact on humanity.
What does a mutation help with?
mutation help increase our chance of survival. By giving an non-existing gene or trait to an individual of a species population. This special gene can either be passed on or extinct. The special gene will pass on if the gene have proven it is useful and will extinct if its not. Overall, mutation help all life survival in the ever-changing environment and challenge they face.
What is the minimum turning radius for a bus?
Really depends on the wheelbase and overall length of the bus. As is, a "bus" is designed by its function alone, and there are no minimum standards for wheelbase or overall turn length for the sake of defining a bus. If used for third-party transportation of passengers, a minivan is effectively a bus, for example.
