Which is a point mutation and not a frameshift?.

Biology
1 answer:
Leviafan [203]1 year ago
8 0

An insertion or deletion of a nucleotide base that alters the reading frame is known as a frameshift mutation.

A point mutation only affects one amino acid and does not alter the frame.

The reading frame may or may not move as a result of the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide or combination of nucleotides. The mutation is referred to as a non-frameshift mutation if it does not result in a shift in the reading frame.

The addition or deletion of certain nucleotide base-pairs from the DNA molecule is referred to as an insertion or deletion.

The reading frame may or may not move as a result of the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide or combination of nucleotides. The mutation is referred to as a non-frameshift mutation if it does not result in a shift in the reading frame.

On the other hand, a mutation is known as a frameshift mutation if the reading frame does shift. Where it occurs will determine how it changes.

Which of the following sequences shows a frameshift mutation compared to the wild-type mRNA sequence?
Butoxors [25]

Option C:

B. wild-type 5-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3 mutant 5'-AUGCAUACAUCUGGAGUGA- 3' 

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation such that the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion occurs in such as way that it alters the complete sequence of 3 codon sets and can change the reading frame, resulting in a completely different translation from the original.

As it is pertinent to understanding that all genes are normally translated in sets of 3 codons, which typically describes and explain a unique amino acid sequence. Thus, if a frame shift mutation occurs, it can affect many amino acid sequences and finally the entire protein.  

If we look at option B:

wild-type 5-AUG   CAU  ACA  UUG  GAG  UGA-3  

mutant 5’-    AUG   CAU  ACA  UCU  GGA  GUG  A-3’  

An insertion of a base Uracil showed at the end of 3rd codon which affected and altered the whole sequence of codon triplets. This changed all next codons and finally all next amino acids will be altered.

you can tell the age of a yeast cell by group of answer choices counting scars seeing whether it will grow on melibiose studying
ExtremeBDS [4]

You can tell the age of a yeast cell by (a) counting scars.

Yeast is a unicellular eukaryotic organism. It belongs to the kingdom Fungi. It is primarily used in baking, cooking and in alcohol industries as well. There are various strains of yeast and the most widely used one is <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>, also called the baker's or the brewer's yeast.

Scars on the yeast are actually the bud scars formed due to budding. Budding is the process by which the yeast reproduces and gives rise to its offspring. Hence every time a daughter bud pinches off from the yeast cell, a scar is formed.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

a) the covalent bond between the last phosphate and the middle phosphate

Explanation:

The ADP is composed by a molecule of Adenine, Ribose and two Phosphate groups. The addition of a paper weight in the spring represents the last phosphate added in a ADP, resulting in a ATP. The last phosphate connected with Ribose by a covalent bond, represented by the round paper weight connected to a spring, can be easily detached in order to provide energy to the cell by a process called dephosphorylation.  The spring compressed represents the energy of the bond. In the model the compressed spring is represents the potential energy, but in the bond the energy is chemical, which will lead into a electron transference reaction.

During photosynthesis, plants incorporate carbon dioxide into sugars and other organic compounds. The ratio of 12CO2 to 14CO2 in
natima [27]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plant make use of atmospheric carbon dioxide to produce sugars and other organic components, which is given by

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Where:

CO2 = carbon dioxide

C6H12O6= Sugar (glucose)
