A section of DNA encodes a gene for an enzyme involved in cellular metabolism. If a mutation event occurs that results in the de

letion of one base near the beginning of this sequence, which of the following is the most likely outcome?
A. The loss of one base may or may not seriously affect the protein synthesized, depending on which base is lost.
B. The protein synthesized may contain only one erroneous amino acid since the loss of one base will cause one codon to be misread during transcription.
C. The protein synthesized will contain many erroneous amino acids since the loss of one base will shift the reading of the encoded base sequence.
D. The loss of one base will not seriously affect the protein synthesized from the DNA sequence.

Answer:

The correct answer would be C. The protein synthesized will contain many erroneous amino acids since the loss of one base will shift the reading of the encoded base sequence.

Deletion mutation that does not occur in the multiple of three bases can results in frame-shift mutation.

It changes the reading frame of nucleotide in DNA. Thus, the reading frame of codons in mRNA would also change.

Consequently, the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain would change or alter. Thus, a protein would contain many erroneous amino acids.

An example of the same is shown below in the image.

The most likely complication of this disease is the development of Empyema.

Explanation:

The patient has symptoms of fever, dyspenea (breathlessness with chest pain), cough and sputum which directs towards empyema as they are symptoms of pneumonia and prolonged symptoms would cause empyema.

The infiltrates in the posterior segments of upper lobe of the right lung results in bulging fissure causing necrosis lesion which would cause the complications of empyema.

The empyema is the condition in which pus cells are formed in thoracic cavity, in pleural fluid bacterial infection occurs due to pneumonia or surgery of chest.

The empyema risk is high for diabetics, pulmunary infected and alcoholism.

The diagram below shows the stump of a tree whose root grew into a small crack in bedrock and split the rock apart.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Physical Weathering

Explanation:

As per the given conditions in the question, the primary effect is <u>mechanical action</u> which is also known as a <u>physical weathering</u>. During mechanical action, a rock is disintegrated into the smaller pieces. In the given statement, <u>the root of tree would grow in the crack and try to develop a strong network to get nutrients necessary for tha tree growth</u>. Thus, the <u>root would exert a pressure</u> in the crack to make more space for its growth and development (root network). This is primarily a mechanical action and an example of physical weathering.
