nse mutation in the same protein?
Biology

Aneli [31]3 years ago

Explanation:

A single nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation causes a change of a single amino acid into another. Aa a result, the produced protein will have an almost normal sequence except for one amino acid.

On the other hand, a frameshift mutation changes the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA every three nucleotides (codons) and translates them into amino acids that will form the nascent protein. If there is a frameshift mutation (an insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides not multiple of three) the ribosome will "read" the mRNA differently and will identify different codons than the wild-type sequence, so a large number of amino acids will be different in the mutated protein.

Explain how technology helps to compare and study genes and proteins.
maksim [4K]

Answer: Modern technology can analyze, compare, and save more information than our brains can. Genes and proteins are small, but 3D modeling on computers can help build it to a scale that we can see. Information can be saved  and stored for later use, and it's easier to access when it's all on one operating system.

Explanation:

These are just a few points. Hope this helps
