Answer:Frameshift mutations are likely to change more than one amino acid, infact a completely irrelevant protein with altered amino acid sequence is produced.

Explanation:

Frameshift mutation is due to addition or deletion of bases. From that point onwards the reading frame shifts, different set of codons read. Frameshift mutations are likely to change more than one amino acid, infact a completely irrelevant protein with altered amino acid sequence is produced.

Frame shift mutation can lead to thalassemia due to premature chain termination and run-on-polypeptude that are non-functional.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding engineering maize plants with a herbicide-resistance gene using Agrobacte
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

b. The herbicide-resistance gene is cloned into the T-DNA region of the Ti-plasmid.

Explanation:

Ti-plasmid has the ability to introduce part of its DNA (t-DNA) into the genome of host plants. This is very important for the relationship of genetic manipulation in maize plants, with the aim of inducing a gene that promotes herbicide resistance. In addition, T-DNA has many genes that code for the production of plant growth phytohormones, which is extremely important for the cloning process to work. In this case, we can assume that the correct answer for yours is the letter B.

What process occurs after a forest fire wipes out an entire ecosystem? What is this process called? What are the steps of this p
ad-work [718]
The secondary succession is triggered by a natural event (forest fires for example) that destroys an established ecosystem. The destroyed forest will then undergo a regrowth process. This secondary growth may look bizarrely different from the way how the original forest used to look like. There are several stages involved after the forest os being burned. The first stage involves the colonization of massively burned places by plants and fungi. The following stage starts when minuscule plants such as grasses dwell in the forest. And then, huge plants that require lots of direct sunlight will move in. Lastly, new trees will continuously grow up to a point where they makeup a forest that remains in time except there are major interventions.

Name two basic mold types that distinguish casting processes.
xeze [42]

<span>The two basic molds are: Expendable mold and permanent mold. </span>

Molding is a process where a rigid frame (mold) is being used to manufacture by shaping liquid or pliable raw materials. However, molding is synonymous to casting; casting is a process where a liquid metal is delivered into a mold which contains a hollow cavity of the intended shape. 

Expendable mold casting can be classify as sand, plastics, plaster which make use of non-reusable or temporary molds  while Permanent mold casting is a metal casting process that use reusable molds.
