The answer is <span>a frameshift deletion at the beginning of the gene.

The frameshift deletion means that due to the deletion, the reading frame will be changed. Because of this, changed mRNA will be synthesized and translated into altered protein. It is known that codon is a triplet (a set of three nucleotides), that code for certain amino acid. The earlier in the sequence the deletion occurs, the protein will be more severely affected.
For example, if codons on RNA are THE BIG BAD DOG and the frameshift deletion happens on the first triplet (earlier in the sequence), the changed sequence will be  TEB IGB ADD OG. If </span>the frameshift deletion happens on the third triplet (later in the sequence), <span>the changed sequence will be THE BIG ADD OG.</span> This way, if the<span> frameshift deletion occurs at the beginning of the gene,</span> the more codons will be changed and in turn, they will code different amino acids.

Which word identifies the agent that carries the energy released from earthquakes?
Mnenie [13.5K]

The correct answer is seismic waves.  

A sudden movement of the Earth's crust followed by the production of seismic waves is known as an earthquake. The seismic waves travel outwards from the source. The sudden vibration or ground motion is generated due to a brisk discharge of accumulated energy.  

The vibrations, which travel via Earth carrying the energy discharged at the time of an earthquake is known as seismic waves. The earthquakes are usually determined with a help of seismometer, called seismograph.

How can the human eye see color??
seraphim [82]
Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceiveonly the reflected colors.
