The strand of dna used in the previous problem undergoes a mutation, such that the second c from the 3' end is changed to a

This mutation type is a substitution mutation. Substitution mutations may be silent or may have adverse effects (missense mutation).
Adverse effects come about because the change in codons in mRNA transcribed from the DNA strand. A point substitution can change the amino acid being coded for in the particular polypeptide change. If that animo acid is a structural residue of the protein, the structure of the protein will be altered, which may or may not lead to a change in protein function. If that particular amino acid is a catalytic residue of the protein, it may alter the 3D conformation and charge of the active site (if protein is an enzyme) or the binding site of protein. Function of protein formed from mutated DNA will be lost or altered.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, what is described in this question is a method of DNA damage repair mechanism. The method described is called base excision repair. Generally, glycosylases play important roles in base excision repair (as they detect and remove these damaged bases).

One thing that can be considered while identifying the bond to be broken is the codon that will be formed after the removal of base. If this codon (a three base sequence) will still produce the same protein as when a normal cytosine was present.

NOTE: During this base excision repair, a glycosylase will detect and remove the damaged cytosine. Once removed, the remaining nucleotide backbone (of the removed cytosine) is also removed and the gap is filled and sealed by other enzymes in this repair mechanism.

The best thing to do is this:
the subjects in the experimental group should be given large, daily dose of vitamin C while the control group subjects should be given a daily dose of sugar pills that are disguised as vitamin C.
The research can then observe the differences between the two groups.

The equation y = 8x + 12, where x is the number of hours and y is the total cost, represents what the surf instructor charges fo

irinina [24]

Simple problem my friend!

First we must replace X with -2,-1,0,1,2
then we plug in -2 in X. 8*-2 is -16 and adding 12 gives us a co ordinate of (-2,-4) now this is not enough so now we must do -1. 8*-1 is -8, + 12 gives us 4. so now our second co ordinate is (-1,4). i will do 1 more co ordinate and then you should be able to finish the problem by yourself :) we now plug in 0 to replace X. 8*0 is 0, easy and 0+12 is 12. so the third co ordinate is (0,12) when you have put all the dots on the graph be sure to draw a line through them and by the way, this is not a biology question lol, good luck!
