Head moulding. Although, head moulding is common in any vaginal delivery, for a primigravid, which is having a child for the first time, is much more significant. The bones of a neonate are soft, flexible, and present gaps between them. These gaps and softness of the bones allow the moulding of the head when going through the vaginal canal. Being the first birth the vaginal canal is tighter and does not dilactate so well leading to a more significant head moulding.

Why would a Nonsense mutation be less damaging if it occurred at the end of the gene rather than the

kari74 [83]

Nonsense mutations make stop codons. If the mutation is towards the beginning of a gene, then the protein that gets created will be cut short and not function properly. But if it was towards the end, there is still a chance that the protein will still be able to work.
