Cytochrome C oxidase, otherwise known as Complex IV, is the final complex in the human cellular respiration electron transport chain. Under normal conditions, it reduces O 2 to H 2 O. During DNA replication, DNA polymerase makes a single substitution error, resulting in a missense mutation in an exon on the Cytochrome C oxidase gene that prevents the binding of O 2 . This altered sequence is then passed down to a daughter cell. Which of the following would we expect to observe when we compare the daughter cell to other cells under different conditions in the short term? a. The daughter cell will produce more lactic acid than a non-mutated cell in normal conditions.
b. The daughter cell will act in a similar way to a non-mutated cell that is in a cyanide-rich (Cyanide binds to Cytochrome C oxidase instead of O 2 ) environment.
c. The daughter cell will be unable to produce ATP.
d. There will be no difference between the daughter cell and a non-mutated cell in normal conditions.
e. A and B
