Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution misse

nse mutation in the same protein? Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation in the same protein? A frameshift missense will cause the codons to be out of order, but a substitution missense does not change the order of the codons. A substitution missense mutation causes the protein to be shorter and thus non-functional. A substitution missense affects only one codon, but a frameshift missense affects all codons downstream of the frameshift. A frameshift missense mutation will cause an early Stop codon, but a substitution missense might be silent.

A substitution missense affects only one codon, but a frameshift missense affects all codons downstream of the frameshift.

A frameshift mutation occurs during deletion of one of two nucleotides. The arrangement of codons downstream of the mutation will definitely change, hence it being called a frameshift mutation. On the other hand, a substitution mutation will only cause a change in one nucleotide of one codon.

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation causes new codons downstream of the mutation that will code for different amino acids hence changing the properties of the translated proteins. This will have great ramifications for the phenotype of the organism.

On the other hand, substitution mutation will only cause a change in the amino acid at that point of mutation during translation. This will not have a drastic change in the protein hence will not be as lethal as a frameshift mutation.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Homology is similarity due to shared ancestry between a pair of organisms in different taxa. Both bats and humans have a common mammalian ancestor.

They diverged and adapted their arms for different functions.

Explanation:

Homologous features are physical features shared due to evolutionary history (a common ancestor).

During which stage of the cell cycle does cell division occur? A. mitosis B. cell growth C. interphase D. quiescence
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

interphase

Explanation:

During interphase, the cell grows and the DNA replicates. After that there's the mitotic phase where the replicated DNA and the contents in the cytoplasm are sperated in a way that the cell divides.
