Biology
1 answer:

7 0

The answer is insertion mutation.

Insertion mutation is a genetic mutation, which happens when one or more nucleotide base pairs are added into a DNA sequence. It is a type of mutation that would more or less cause the most dramatic change in the genetic makeup of an individual simply because by inserting an extra base pair you are disrupting the reading frame, thus affecting the primary structure of the polypeptide as it is being synthesized during translation.

The codons after the insert will all be different may or may not be coding for different amino acids.

What is meant by the term carbon footprint?
katovenus [111]

A

<u>The total CO2 released by a person</u> is known as carbon footprint.

Explanation:

It is used to categorize the amount of carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) that every human - due to human activities such as driving - are emitting into the atmosphere. It is equivalent to per capita carbon emission. The carbon footprint per person in the US, for example, is 16 tonnes which is also interpreted as the average production of carbon dioxide per person.

Countries are putting measures to curb increasing carbon footprints by enacting policies like a carbon tax and incentives towards renewable energy sources. This is in an effort to reduce global warming.
