1 answer:
pantera1 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(A). Result in different amino acids to be read due to frame shifts

Explanation:

Insertion or deletion mutations (or Indel mutations) can be defined as mutations in DNA due to insertion (addition) or deletion of nucleotide bases in DNA.  

These mutations lead to change in reading frames (sequence of codons), which leads to formation of protein having completely different amino acid sequence. Hence, these mutations are also cause frameshift mutations.

This is due due to triplet nature of genetic codes as insertion or deletion of one or more bases (but not three) would change change in codon sequence and mutated sequence can form a non-functional or truncated protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

shusha [124]

Answer:

a) allosteric site

Explanation:

An allosteric site is a site on an enzyme other than the active site where a molecule that is not a substrate binds. This changes the shape of the enzyme, making it harder for the substrate to bind and inhibits enzyme activity.

Hope that helps.

The ostrich is a bird. However, it has traits that are different from those of the birds we typically see flying around our neig
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

I found this from someone else. This is not my work, Also if this does not answer the question ask the question on here and you can see more answers. hope this helps.!

Explanation:

According to National Geographic, ostriches are a part of a very small group of birds that cannot fly because unlike most birds, their small wings are not strong enough to carry their body for flight and their breastbone isn't balanced enough for flying. Birds that are unable to fly are called ratites.

A number of scientists namely Thomas Huxley, Richard Owen, and others have tried to show that these ratites are actually related to each other and eventually, it was discovered that they all had one thing in common, the way the bones at the roof of the mouth were arranged was similar to that of reptiles rather than other birds.

Richard Owen found and assembled the remains of an extinct ostrich skeleton which was an extinct moa and contrary to already held opinion, one ratite known as tinamous did not really fit with the profile of a ratite because it could fly, even though almost grudgingly and they possessed keeled sternum which suggests that they evolved from flying birds.

DNA tests showed that tinamous evolved within ratites and not necessarily as a separate entity. The tests also showed that moas and tinamous are related.

It was also speculated that the division of the supercontinent Pangaea southern side led to the separation of flightless ratite ancestors, causing each landlocked group to evolve and become the flightless birds we know today such as the ostrich, rheas, etc.

Enzymes are class of proteins, they make metabolic reactions proceed much faster than they would have on their own.

Explanation;

-Proteins are biological macromolecules that are diverse in shape size and function. Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that act as catalysts and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life. They are biological catalysts.

All enzymes are proteins by definition. But not all biomolecular catalysts are proteins. Most enzymes are proteins, although a few are catalytic RNA molecules.
