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.

Composed of a phosohlipid bilayer
Zigmanuir [339]

The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer.

The cell membrane is primarily composed of a mix of proteins and phospholipids

Phospholipids are a major component of cell membranes.  They a head and a tail. The head is hydrophilic  (attracted to water) and the tail is hydrophobic (repelled by water).

They form a bilayer in which their hydrophilic heads face the aqueous cytosol and extracellular fluid  while their hydrophobic tails face away from the cytosol  and extracellular fluid.

The lipid bilayer is semi - permeable

How did robert hooke contribute to the cell theory?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

<em>Read explanation.</em>

Explanation:

Robert Hooke defined what a cell, in other words, he gave that name to what we now know as a "cell".

How he came up with that name is simple, and doesn't involve science or biology itself. All happened when he was looking to a sample of oak bark, and saw this tiny enclosed structures, that reminded him of a cell.

Hope it helped,

A child is prescribed hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for severe combined immunodeficiency disease. what is administered
mezya [45]
The child is administered to use Intravenous immunoglobulin and Pneumocystis caranii pneumonia or PCP prophylaxis. These are used to improve humoral immunity in the child until the time when the transplant is performed.
The child is not recommended to use influenza vaccine in immunodeficiency disease reason being the possibility of acquiring influenza which is severe.
Again the child is not recommended to use varicella vaccine because it can lead to a risk of acquiring chicken pox.
For a child with PCP, we use Dapsone.
