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).

Which of the following is a characteristic of a scientific theory? (5 points) It explains how nature works. It is based on a sin
KIM [24]

Answer:

<em> It explains how nature works.</em>

Explanation:

A scientific theory can be described as a descriptive explanation of the occurrence of any phenomenon taking place in the natural world. Other statements are not true because a scientific theory is explained best with the help of certain experiments and certain known facts. It might be based on results from many experiments and supported through many known facts. A scientific theory has the capacity to replicate its results when performed again and again.
