Answer:

The correct answer is deletion mutation.

Explanation:

A deletion mutation takes place when a section or a part of the molecule of a DNA does not get copied at the time of the replication of the DNA. This uncopied section can be as large as an entire chromosome, or can be as small as a single nucleotide. The absence of this DNA at the time of replication can result in a genetic disease. A deletion mutation may result in the shifting of a base sequence, making the base sequence's reading frames to modify at the time of translation.

Why is gene expression important to the overall health of an organism?
VashaNatasha [74]
That is because gene expression is a process in the synthesis of proteins and without proteins our organisms could not function properly. Almost all things that occur in our body are results of proteins being synthesized and these proteins travel through our body activating other processes. When not synthesizing proteins, different types of RNA are synthesized.

horrorfan [7]

Answer: Gender identity

Explanation:

Gender identity is how a person sees themselves their own internal sense and personal experience of gender. Only the individual can determine their own gender identity. Gender indentity refers to the degree to which we see ourselves as feminine, masculine, transsexual or perhaps even nongender and having no gender at all. Gender identity occurs as a result of a combination of inherent and extrinsic or environmental factors; gender role, on the other hand, is manifested within society by observable factors such as behavior and impression
