Suppose there is a gene called VID that codes for the incredible ability to play any video game. This gene is 360 nucleotides lo

ng, with no introns. The wildtype version codes for a protein consisting of 120 amino acids. Some people cannot play video games well at all. Their VID gene was isolated and sequenced and found to have a nonsense mutation. The resulting non-functional VID protein consisted of just 20 amino acids. However, some rare individuals who also carry this same nonsense mutation in their gene do have a functional VID protein consisting of the full 120 wildtype amino acids. Which of the following most likely accounts for these rare individuals with a mutation in their gene but a fully functional protein.

Answer:

We can say that the VID gene that encoded the ability for a person to play a video game, have a chain length of 360 nucleotides. Said wild type has 120 amino acids. Three codons always code for an amino acid, if we divide the number of nucleotides by the number of amino acids we realize that both the mutated gene and the wild gene have the same number of nucleotides.

Explanation:

The exercise mentions that the VID gene has a nonsense mutation in 20 of the amino acids. The nonsense mutation occurs during the completion stage of translation. A conclusion to this phenomenon could be that the tRNA would have a mutation, for which an amino acid is replaced, thus forming the functional protein.

Eukaryotic cells have a large complex cytoskeleton. Especially in animal cells, they are very large why is this? What is the dif
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Eukariotic cells are bigger and complex than bacteria. The difference between cystoskeleton of eukariotic and bacteria cells is the type of proetein in each one.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is composed mainly in arrays of protein filaments. Its function is to maintain the shape of the cell, maintain in place the organelles (such as mitochondria, nucleus, etc.) and the transport throughout the cell. Every cell has a cytoskeleton, eukaryotic, bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotic cells are bigger than bacteria and have more organelles in them to maintain in place, this is why cytoskeleton are bigger and complex. The bacteria are a single cell, simpler, with a few organelles, the cytoskeleton is more simple but important. The cytoskeleton is similar in both, the difference is the type of proteins in them. In bacteria are simple proteins, meanwhile, in eukaryotic are a complex protein.

ella [17]
Protostomes develop a mouth first and then an anus. This is the difference between protostomes and deuterostomes.

In protostome development, there is a spiral radical and indeterminate cleavage. The blastopore becomes the mouth and the coelom forms from the mesoderm.

In deuterostomes development, radial and indeterminate cleavage takes place. The blastopore is the new anus and the coelom forms from budding off the wall of the archenteron.
