A change in the shape of the cell wall, causing it to look triangular
A change in the shape of a membrane protein, causing its channel to widen
A change in the lysosome enzymes, causing them to lose function
A change in the membrane protein regulator gene, causing more membrane proteins to be made

A change in the shape of a membrane protein, causing its channel to widen

300

The following DNA strand mutated. What is the correct replicated strand of the NEW MUTATED STRAND and what is the repercussion of the mutation?

Original DNA Sequence: ATT CCT AGT

Mutated DNA Sequence: ATT CGT AGT

TAA GCA TCA, the mutation will change the RNA and therefore the protein produced

ATG CCC TTC AGA ACT

Using the codon chart, what is the sequence of amino acids that is produced after translation?

300

Antibodies produced against one pathogen infecting the human body may not work against a different pathogen because antibodies are

(1) only produced once in the body so they can’t work on any other infection

(2) unable to produce effective antibiotics against the infection

Antibodies produced against one pathogen infecting the human body may not work against a different pathogen because antibodies are

(1) only produced once in the body so they can’t work on any other infection

(2) unable to produce effective antibiotics against the infection

Bacteria reproduce asexually by a process known as binary fi ssion. In binary fi ssion, the bacterium’s single chromosome is copied and the cell splits in half, with each new cell receiving a copy of the chromosome. The biggest advantage that binary fission often has over sexual reproduction is that

(1) there is more genetic variety in the resulting cells

(2) the genetic material comes from two parents

(3) the offspring inherit only favorable genes

(4) a large number of identical offspring are produced
