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.

Which phrases describe anaerobic respiration?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

is an inefficient way to obtain ATP

creates a buildup of lactic acid

does not require oxygen

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration is the process by which food substances are broken down without presence of oxygen. An intermediate compound, ethanol in plants and lactic acid in animals is produced. The incomplete breakdown of glucose results into production of less energy(ATP) than in the case of aerobic respiration.

Degger [83]

Explanation:

as we know a man who has type AB blood could not father a child with type O blood, because he would pass on either the A or the B allele to all of his offspring. Despite their usefulness in this regard, ABO blood groups cannot be used to confirm whether a man is indeed a child's father.

thus, the husband isnt the biological father of the baby.
