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
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
3 0

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.

If a solution process is exothermic, how does the energy required for dissolving the solute compare with the energy released?
Misha Larkins [42]
If a solution process is exothermic, the energy required for dissolving the solute compare with the energy released is that, the energy requiredis less than the energy released. When we sayexothermic, heat is evolved. On the other hand,when heat is absorbed, this is called endothermic.

How do RNA's subcomponents affect its properties? (3 points) A. Adenine and cytosine bond with thymine and guanine, respectively
frozen [14]

Answer:

B. Base pairing occurs within an RNA molecule to give RNA the three-dimensional shape needed for specific functions.

Explanation:

Ribonucleic acid, known as RNA, is a type of nucleic acid found in living systems. In opposition to the other type of nucleic acid (DNA), RNA is a short single stranded molecule. Both DNA and RNA are made of nucleotides, composed of a phosphate group, nitrogenous bases and a pentose sugar.

The presence of ribose sugar and Uracil base in RNA instead of deoxyribose sugar and thymine base respectively structurally differentiates the molecule from DNA. However, base pairing occurs within the RNA molecule to form the three-dimensional shape of the RNA, which is key to the specificity of its function.

We will spend a little time exploring the city with trolley cars and many hills. Where are we?
Cloud [144]
Exploring the city with trolley cars and many hills. This city is San Francisco, CA.

Trolley cars or cable cars were introduced in 1873 to enable locals to contend with many hills the city is built on. Now, tourists ride the cable cars and will be given a tour of the city.
