Answer:

The correct answer is option B) "a deletion of two nucleotides".

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is a type of genetic modification caused by the insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides in a position that results in changing the sequence at which codons are translated in the ribosome. Frameshift mutations have the most serious effect on the polypeptide products since it results in changing completely the sequence of the protein. A deletion of two nucleotides after the AUG start of translation would result in a frameshift mutation, therefore this mutation would have the most serious effect on the polypeptide product.

POPULATION AGE STRUCTURE summary Will reward
Vaselesa [24]

The population age structure is is simply the structure of a population in a given time period by age groups. In order to represent the population age structure in a simple and efficient way, the population pyramid is used. Depending of what type of population is dominant, the pyramid will have different shapes. It can easily show us the trends and type of demographic transition for a particular population. When there high birthrates, the pyramid tends to be widest at the bottom, but when there's low birthrates the pyramid tends to be widening in the middle and upper sections.
