Why does an insertion mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?

Biology

Vadim26 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Insertion mutation changes the reading frame of nucleotide of the DNA.

Explanation:

The mutation is the changes in the nucleotides sequence in the DNA. The mutation is of different kinds such as point mutation and frameshift mutation. In point mutation, only a single nucleotide sequence has changed and most of the point mutation is harmless. When the point mutation happens in the non-coding sequence of DNA it is harmless. But when the mutation occurs in coding strands of DNA it is harmful e.g. sickle cell anemia. The frameshift mutation is of two types - insertion and deletion mutation. In insertion mutation, an additional nucleotide sequence has added, which changes the pairing and produces defective protein to a large extent. The insertion mutation changes the reading frame of nucleotides in the DNA.

How is the DNA in your skin cells related to the DNA in your heart, liver, and lung cells?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

With few exceptions, all cells in a person’s body have the same DNA and genes. As cells divide and grow different genes are expressed, resulting in different cell types. As cells divide and grow different genes are expressed, resulting in different cell types.

Which of the following statements is correct?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The statement that is correct is that all cells have the same genes, but different genes are active in different cells.

Explanation:

Differentiation or specialization is a function that cells possess and is what allows them to have different types of cells and tissues.

Cell differentiation depends on genetic regulation, a mechanism that determines the specific genes that are expressed in a cell or tissue type.

All cells contain the same DNA, which is organized into chromosomes and contain the genes that determine specific characteristics. <u>There is cell differentiation because some genes can be expressed and others are suppressed, all due to genetic regulation</u>.

The other choices are wrong because:

  • <em>The eyes look different from the liver, because they have the same genes, but only some are expressed. </em>
  • <em>Differentiated cells and tissues do not lose their genes. </em>
  • <em>All cells have DNA.</em>

Why do sugar nucleotides, such as udp-glucose, play a role in glycogen synthesis, rather than sugar phosphates, such as glucose-
HACTEHA [7]

Glucose binds to the glycogenin protein to form the glycogen polymer. Glycogen synthase uses UDP glucose as the substrate for polymerization via (1-4) bonds. The branching enzyme has two distinct functions: it breaks the linear chain and forms a branch using a (1-6) linkage.

<h3>What are nucleotides?</h3>

A nucleotide is the primary component of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing base. DNA nucleotides include adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). In RNA, the nucleotide uracil (U) replaces thymine. Polymeric DNA and RNA molecules are composed of long strands of nucleotides.
