Question 2
how might a deletion mutation in a gene affect the translation of that gene?
the mutation would not allow dna to exit the cytoplasm.
the mutation would prevent amino acids from being brought to the ribosome during translation.
the amino acids would not be the right shape. they would not be able to assemble to form proteins.
the mutation would cause a different sequence of amino acids to be brought to the ribosome during translation.
question 3
what is dna?
a type of molecule composed mostly of amino acids
a type of molecule that performs the main functions of cells
a type of molecule that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction
a type of molecule that determines the traits that an individual inherits

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics
