Answer:

The correct answer would be - a) missense.

Explanation:

A missense mutation is a type of a point mutation that is caused by the alteration or change in the a nucleotide of a triplet codon in a DNA sequence. This leads to a altered mRNA and incorporate different amino acid and ultimately different protein than usual.

This type of mutation can produce non functional protein by translation in most of the case and did not make any big change in the individual.

Thus, the correct answer would be - a) missense.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Gene is present on the X chromosome.

Explanation:

The two main types of chromosomes are autosomes and sex chromosomes. Autosomes regulates the functioning of the body but do not play role in determining the sex of an individual. The sex chromosomes distinguishes between the male and female.

The linkage of sex chromosomes is present in Drosophila as well. The cross between the F1 generation leads to both the red and white eyed flies because the eye color gene is present on the X chromosome. The males contain only one X chromosome and the presence of recessive gene results in the white color whereas in females both the X chromosomes must contain recessive gene for the white color.  

Thus, the answer is gene involved is on the X chromosome.

Of the following items listed below, which is the best description for why skeletal muscle stores glycogen? Of the following ite
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Skeletal muscle stores glycogen because it is a heavy consumer of energy.

Explanation:

Skeletal fiber contractions are based on different physiological and biochemical phenomena that happen in every cell and that need an amount of energy to occur. During muscle contraction, <em>myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, producing littles power strokes that, continuously, lead to muscle contraction</em>. To make this process possible, the muscle needs energy.  

Glycogen is a very important energetic reserve polysaccharide for animals. It is stored in the liver and muscles, and when the organism needs energy it degrades glycogen into glucose, which is an available form for the metabolism.  In the liver,<em> glycogen</em> is used to maintain constant levels of <em>blood glucose</em>. While in muscles, glycogen plays an important role in the glucose storage as a source of energy, needed and used only for contraction.

During muscle contraction, ATP molecules obtained from glucose are split to ADP and inorganic phosphate.
