Transcribe the following DNA sequence. Then translate the resulting mRNA transcript. Transcription:

Translation:

What would be the result of the following mutations in the DNA sequence above? How would the polypeptide change? How would you characterize this mutation? (Nucleotides are numbered from left to right.)
a) nucleotide number 16 changes from a G to an A
b) nucleotide number 12 changes from an A to a T
c) nucleotide number 8 changes from a G to an A
d) an insertion of a C between nucleotides 14 and 15.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!

can you make it bigger i can't see it
