Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution misse

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.

What happens to the actual image you see between the time you see it and it your brain registers it?
USPshnik [31]

Answer AND Explanation:

As light reflected from an external object enters the eye, it is refracted by the cornea, aqueous humour, the lens and vitreous humour so that an image is focused on the retina. The image is real, upside down and smaller than the object. The photoreceptor cells are stimulated by the reflected light and impulses are set off. The impulses are transmitted by neurons through the optic nerve to the optic region of the brain. The brain interprets the impulse as an upright impression of the object.
