Question

If there was a mutation that prevented the function of flipases and flopases, what consequence do you hypothesize will occur?

Answer 1

Answer:

CONSEQUENCE OF MUTATION in FLOPPASES:-

• The phospholipid molecules after being synthesized, gets attached with the cytosolic phase of the bilayer.
• It is the floppases that move the newly addes phospholipid molecules from the cytosolic face to the extracellukar face.
• If the movement is stopped due to mutation, there will be imbalance and the fluidity of the cell membrane will diminish.
• Most importantly, the cell divison mechanism will be greatly hampered.

CONSEQUENCE OF MUTATION OF THE FLIPASES:-

• Due to this the existing lipid molecules in the extracellular face wont be recyled and any damage to the phospholipd molecule's head groups or the chemical groups will persist as it is and this can be disastrous for the cell.
