Outline the effect of the following mutations:
TAG-> TAT
TAC-> TCC

TAG-> TAT >> sense mutation  

TAC-> TCC >> missense mutation

Explanation:

A sense mutation is a type of mutation that changes a stop codon into a sense codon, thus producing an elongated protein. The TAG codon (UAG in the RNA) is a stop codon, while TAT (UAU) encodes for tyrosine, thereby TAG-> TAT is a sense mutation. On the other hand, a missense mutation is a type of point mutation where a single nucleotide change generates a new codon which encodes a different amino acid. In this case, the TAC codon (UAC) encodes for tyrosine, while TCC (UCC) codon encodes for serine, and therefore TAC-> TCC is a missense mutation (Tyr to Ser mutation).

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.

examples of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) and ribonucleic acid (rna).
