Answer:c) reduced stress about stds
Explanation:
Answer:
Answer is C.
Explanation:
For A and B, a base substitution affects one of the three bases that comprise a codon, the DNA/RNA unit that corresponds to a particular amino acid. If one base is substituted, one codon and therefore one amino acid will be affected. Codons have built-in redundancy, so even by changing one base, the new codon sometimes still corresponds to the same amino acid. Therefore, a base substitution at most affects one amino acid, and sometimes doesn't affect it all.
Frameshift mutations cause a lot more trouble. These occur when you have a deletion or insertion that changes the number of bases in your gene. As a result, the "frame" of the codons changes (everything shifts one way or the other by the number of bases added/removed). This affects EVERY codon downstream of the mutation, so you can imagine that such a mutation would have a bigger effect the closer to the start of the gene it occurs. This is why C is correct.
Answer:
Mitosis
Explanation:
Mitosis is not a source of genetic mutation because it take place mostly in the somatic cells. This is because it does not lead to the production of gametes . In mitosis, the parent cells divide into two daughter cells and each daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell because they carry the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. There is no genetic variation in this.
