Chapter 9, Problem 24CA
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Neurons are the basic fundamental units of the nervous system and also known as nerve cells. Just like all the cells in the human body, the neurons are also similar but the key factor that separates the neurons from all the cells in the body is the neurons’ ability to transmit information among the neural cells.

- Molecular Biology Question Explain why the cell doesn’t need 61 tRNAs (one for each codon). Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB.
