Answer:

28 amino acids

Explanation:

When you have a frameshift mutation means that the protein will no longer be complete due to a signal of stop or another start signal in the sequence. The protein will not be the same as before the mutation occurs. If a sequence is 105 nucleotides long means that the amino acids that comprise the protein are 35 (each amino acid comes from a combination of 3 nucleotides, 105/3=35). When a mutation occurs in 85th base there are 20 bases that do not work well or that will not be correct (105-85=20). So, when you don't take into account those 20 bases, the sequence will be correct until 84th base pair, and, as the amino acids come from a mix of 3 bases 84/3=28.

What is the period of time that elapses between the generation of an action potential and the start of muscle tension developmen
lilavasa [31]
The answer is the latent period. 
The latent period is the period elapsing between the application of a stimulus and the obvious response, such as the contraction of a muscle. The contraction period, or contraction time, is the time it takes the muscle to reach its peak contraction after the latent period. The relaxation period is the time the muscle takes to return to resting tension after reaching its peak contraction.
