Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by different mutations within the CFTR gene. One mutation in the CFTR gene that leads to cystic fibrosis causes translation to end earlier in the gene sequence. Which type of mutation causes this translation error that leads to cystic fibrosis?
- silent
- missense
- nonsense
- deletion
Answer:
Nonsense
Explanation:
Nonsense mutations describe mutations that produce a premature stop codon. The stop codons are UAG, UAA, and UGA. A way in which this could arise is, for example, if there was a substution of a nucleotide in the mRNA codon UAC (which codes for the amino acid Tyrosine) to the nucleotide UAG (which codes for a stop codon).
The translation machinery would reach this codon, which signals that translation should be terminated. This would mean that the mRNA would be released, and a truncated (shortened) version of the amino acid would be produced. This is likely to be non-functional, and may even be marked for destruction by the cell.

The new nucleotides base-pair accurately with those on the complementary strand

Amoebas are single-celled organisms, which means that they are composed of just one cell. Each amoeba is a cell capable of performing all living functions by itself. They can reproduce asexually. They are protozoans with no fixed shape. Most have no hard parts and look like blobs of jelly.
Answer:
- ATP and NADPH facilitate the reduction of 6 molecules of 3-PGA (formed in carbon fixation)to six molecules of the simple sugar glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P).
- In the reduction process ADP and NADPH+ are made, when ATP releases energy and loses its terminal phosphate, and NADPH loses energy and a hydrogen atom.
- ADP and NADPH+ return to the light-dependent reactions for re-use.
Explanation:
Sugar biosynthesis in plants, called photosynthesis produces glucose from the reactants; it uses energy from sunlight, along with carbon dioxide and water. In chloroplasts, this occurs in the light-dependent and dark reactions. In the light- dependent reaction, solar energy stimulates photosystems, formed from pigments like chlorophylls.
In the light-independent reaction, products of the light reaction are used to make sugars. Here, in the Calvin cycle, the enzyme, RuBisCO, catalyzes the fixation of CO2 with Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP). Organic molecules are reduced and RuBP is regenerated.
