<span>The corpus callosum is what connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres of the brain. If it is severed, it would no longer be able to allow the two sides to communicate. In some cases, it is partially transected (severed) in patients that have severe epilepsy. The procedure is called a corpus callosotomy and is only done as a last resort.</span>

Please explain the difference between a frameshift mutation and a base substitution mutation.
harina [27]

Answer:

A frameshift changes every codon past it. A base substitution only changes one codon.

Explanation:

DNA is comprised of nucleotides (A, C, T, G) that make up amino acids. Every three bases is called a codon and represents an amino acid.

In a frameshift mutation, a nucleotide is either added or deleted from the sequence. This offsets the entire sequence after it because the reading frame shifts. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

If another T is added in between the first and second codons, then every codon after will be changed.

ACT>T<GCTATCGTCATC

A substitution mutation is usually less severe, as it only alters one codon in the sequence. These occur when one nucleotide is replaced by another one. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

Let's say the first G is replaced by a T.

ACT>T<CTATCGTCATC

As you can see, none of the other codons changed.

Typically, a frameshift mutation is considered worse than a substitution mutation.

Sugars are used for energy and what else??
skad [1K]

Answer:

The body uses sugars from carbohydrates which supply the brain with glucose as the brain uses it as a "fuel source".

<h2>Why is glucose so important for the brain?</h2>

Quick answer: It takes a lot of energy to receive, interpret, and send signals via your neurons. Glucose is the simples sugar that can be used to make energy.

Cells require energy to carry out their typical everyday tasks. The simplest sugar that our cells can utilize for energy is glucose. Since your neurons are specialized cells, many additional cells are also present to support or protect them. All of the senses you can experience utilizing incoming neurons (from the body to the brain) are transmitted to and interpreted by the brain, including touch, pain, vibration, temperature, smell, sight, hearing, taste, and others. Signal reception and interpretation need energy. Additionally, your brain instructs your body to "do" things, which uses energy. Additionally, you spend a significant portion of your waking hours "thinking," which consumes energy. This explains why 20% of the glucose in your body is used by our teeny, tiny, little brains.

Thank you,

Eddie

Why a person with an allele for a particular trait may not have a phenotype that shows the trait?
jenyasd209 [6]
Because it is not the dominant allele, it is the recessive allele so it is not shown.
