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.

In order for plants to make their own food, they must go through a process called photosynthesis. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of a cell. To begin this process, all items needed must go to the cells of a plant. Water and nutrient are absorbed from the soil through the roots. A tube called the xylem carries only water up the stem to the rest of the plant. Gas exchange in the plants occur in the tiny pores of a leaf called the stomata. This is opened and closed by the guard cells. The food produced by this process is called ATP and it is a macromolecule known as a nucleic acid.
