Why does a frameshift mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation? apex?

2 answers:

I believe this is because the frameshift mutations can affect many amino acids.
Frame shift mutation is produced by either insertion of deletion of one or more new bases. Since the reading frame begins at the start site, any mRNA produced from mutated DNA sequence will be read out of frame after the point of the insertion or deletion, thus producing a nonsense protein.

What technique did Hershey and Chase use in their experiment that led to the conclusion that DNA, not protein, was the genetic m

Olenka [21]

Answer:

They used radioactive labeling techniques to build two different types of phage.

Explanation:

In 1952, a set of experiments were carried out by American biochemists Alfred D. Hershey (1908-1997) and Martha Chase. They prepared two separate virus samples, one contained DNA labeled with a radioactive isotope and the other contained protein labeled with a different radioactive isotope. They grew the two types of viruses separately, infected bacteria with the two sets of phages and analyzed the bacteria for radioactivity. From the results obtained, Hershey and Chase concluded that the viral genetic material was DNA and not protein, reinforcing the observations previously made by Avery.

The exact reproduction of an individual from cellular tissue is called __________.

Phantasy [73]

The exact reproduction of an individual from cellular tissue is called cloning.

Cloning is a scientific technique that is used to produce identical copies of an individual having similar genetic information.

In this process, a complete cell, tissue, gene, even an entire organism can be cloned.

A clone can be produced either by artificial or natural methods.

In nature, some unicellular organisms such as bacteria produce multiple copies of themselves by means of asexual reproduction.

The first ever human clone was named Eve in December 2002.
