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.

inn [45]

All macromolecules have carbon atom and the hydrogen atom.

<h3>What are macromolecules?</h3>

The term macromolecules refers to the molecules that are composed of smaller units. These smaller units are called monomers. The macromolecules that we are concerned with here are the macromolecules that could be found in the human body.

The biological macromolecules are often very large as we can see. This is because the number of units that are joined to form the macromolecules are usually very much. There are thousands of monomer molecules that are joined together to give proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and the nucleic acid macromolecules.

All the macromolecules have the carbon atom and the hydrogen atom. These are found across all the macromolecules. The carbohydrates are reducing sugars thus they contain the carbonyl bond. The carbonyl group is absent in lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and amino hence they do not undergo carbonyl reduction reactions.

Why to introduced species thrive and multiply so easily in their new habitats
PolarNik [594]
Actually depends on the species. Take snakes for example. They quickly thrived here in america because they had similar environements over in europe. The warm climate here in florida is perfect for them. They like the heat of the sun the dense foliage and many other good qualities here. Also their are other places that are good as long as they are hot have water and prey and a nice hole they can sleep in they can survive making them very adaptable.
