Which mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?

Biology
1 answer:
melomori [17]3 years ago

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Which of the following mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?

A) a duplication of all or most introns

B) a large inversion whose ends are each in intergenic regions

C) a nucleotide substitution in an exon coding for a transmembrane domain

D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

E) a frameshift mutation one codon away from the 3' end of the nontemplate strand

Answer: D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

Explanation:

Deletion or insertion of a single nucleotide in an axon coding for an active site is called frameshift mutation.

The sequence of codons is read during translation, in order to synthesize a amino acids chain and form a protein from the nucleotide sequence. Frameshift mutations occur when the usual codon sequence is broken by the deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides. For example, if only one nucleotide is removed from the axon sequence during the RNA splicing process, then there will be a disrupted reading frame for all codons before and after the mutation. This may result in several incorrect amino acids being introduced into the protein. Disruption in protein sequence will cause phenotypic change.

Hence, the correct option is D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site .

In Table 9-1, explain the way that ammonia, salt, and water are alike.
baherus [9]
There exists the same question from other source that has the table;

The information in the table are as follows:
Ammonia - NH3
Glucose - C8H12O6
Salt - NaCl
Water - H2O

Ammonia, salt and water are alike because, first they are all compounds. They are composed of two different atoms: Ammonia - N and H, Salt - Na and Cl, Water - H and O

How do amino acids polymerize?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Section 3.2Primary Structure: Amino Acids Are Linked by Peptide Bonds to Form Polypeptide Chains. Proteins are linear polymers formed by linking the α-carboxyl group of one amino acid to the α-amino group of another amino acid with a peptide bond (also called an amide bond)
