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.

5 goals of psychology?
Svetllana [295]
1. Describe - the first goal is to observe behavior and describe.
2. Explain - While descriptions come from observable data, psychologists must go beyond what is obvious and explain their observations. In other words, why did the subject do what he or she did?
3. Predict - Once we know what happens, and why it happens, we can begin to speculate what will happen in the future.
4. Control - Once we know what happens, why it happens and what is likely to happen in the future, we can excerpt control over it
5. Improve - Not only do psychologists attempt to control behavior, they want to do so in a positive manner, they want to improve a person’s life, not make it worse.

A major function of the human urinary bladder is
ioda
The answer is A, storing urine until it is eliminated.


The bladder stores urine, allowing urination to be infrequent and controlled. The bladder is lined by layers of muscle tissue that stretch to hold urine. The normal capacity of the bladder is 400-600 mL. During urination, the bladder muscles squeeze, and two sphincters (valves) open to allow urine to flow out.
