Tpy6a [65]2 years ago

The structure that caused rotifers to be called wheel animals or wheel bearers is the corona.

Rotifers are also known as wheel animals or wheel bearers because of the corona structure around their mouth region.

Some rotifers are sessile and live inside tubes or gelatinous holdfasts that are attached to a substrate. Other rotifers migrate around a substrate through inch worming.

This is because when corona is seen in a sequential coordinated movement, it resembles the structure of a wheel, although it does not rotate in reality.

Therefore, we conclude that rotifers are called wheel animals or wheel bearers due to the presence of the corona structure.

why does frameshift mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

I believe this is because the frameshift mutations can affect many amino acids. 

Frame shift mutation is produced by either insertion of deletion of one or more new bases. Since the reading frame begins at the start site, any mRNA produced from mutated DNA sequence will be read out of frame after the point of the insertion or deletion, thus producing a nonsense protein.
