A student performed an experiment to demonstrate that a plant needs chlorophyll for photosynthesis. He used plants that had gree

n leaves with white areas. After exposing the plants to sunlight, he removed a leaf from each plant and processed the leaves to remove the chlorophyll. He then tested each leaf for the presence of starch. Starch was found in the area of the leaf that was green, and no starch was found in the area of the leaf that was white. He concluded that chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis.
Which statement represents an assumption the student had to make in order to draw this conclusion?
(1) Starch is synthesized from the glucose produced in the green areas of the leaf.
(2) Starch is converted to chlorophyll in the green areas of the leaf.
(3) The white areas of the leaf do not have cells.
(4) The green areas of the leaf are heterotrophic.

Generally speaking, which of the following mutations.....? would most severely affect the protein coded for by a gene? -a base s
Svet_ta [14]
The answer is <span>a frameshift deletion at the beginning of the gene.

The frameshift deletion means that due to the deletion, the reading frame will be changed. Because of this, changed mRNA will be synthesized and translated into altered protein. It is known that codon is a triplet (a set of three nucleotides), that code for certain amino acid. The earlier in the sequence the deletion occurs, the protein will be more severely affected.
For example, if codons on RNA are THE BIG BAD DOG and the frameshift deletion happens on the first triplet (earlier in the sequence), the changed sequence will be  TEB IGB ADD OG. If </span>the frameshift deletion happens on the third triplet (later in the sequence), <span>the changed sequence will be THE BIG ADD OG.</span> This way, if the<span> frameshift deletion occurs at the beginning of the gene,</span> the more codons will be changed and in turn, they will code different amino acids.
