A nebula is an interstellar cloud of "Dust and Gas"
Answer:
in the cell nucleus
Explanation:
Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus where it is called a nuclear DNA.
A single insertion or deletion of a nucleotide will basically lead to a frameshift mutation where the “reading frame” is disrupted. Normally, amino acids are encoded by three nucleotides, called a codon.
Answer:
The mutations lie at locations where they don't affect protein sequence due to degeneracy of the genetic code.
Explanation:
Genetic code is the set of the triplet codons each of which code for a specific amino acid. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of triplets during the process of protein synthesis and the respective amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The genetic code is degenerate. This means that more than one triplet code specifies one amino acid and some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon.
For instance, genetic codes CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG specify amino acid "leucine". Therefore, any change in the DNA sequence that replaces one code for the leucine with another would not affect the amino acid composition of the protein. This would result in the synthesis of proteins with the same amino acid sequence from both the wild type and mutated genes.
