Addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number besides 3 results in a "frame-shift mutation."
This is because every 3 nucleotides of DNA/mRNA exons codes for a single amino acid in the synthesis of a protein. This triplet codon theory means that if 3 nucleotides are added or deleted then an amino acid will be added or lost, but subsequent codons and amino acids will still be read correctly.
However, if any number of nucleotides other than 3 are added or removed, then the codons following the mutation will be out of "sync," in terms of the reading order.
Hence it is called a frame-shift mutation because it shift the reading frame when translating nucleic acids into proteins. Frame shifts will lead to the wrong amino acids being adding in the wrong order for the rest of the code after the mutation.
Answer:
antibodies being produced to fight off a pathogen inside the body
Explanation:
Specific immune responses, also known as the adaptive immune system are ways the body fights against pathogens. The body is able to identify cells that are unique to it. When pathogens bearing an unknown identity enter the body, antibodies are released to attack the antigens on the surface of these pathogens.
The body usually develops this immunity after a previous attack by the pathogen. Lymphocytes known as the B and T cells are released by the immune system t engulf the pathogens.
