Answer: The correct answer is B) Frameshift mutation.

The given  mRNA sequence is GGU-GCU-CCU-AUU. When a nucleotide is added at the fourth location in the chain, it entirely changes the frame from the insertion of the nucleotide till the end of the gene sequence. This is called a frameshift mutation.

This is because after adding a nucleotide, a new frame is generated that will code for different amino acids and therefore a different protein will be synthesized.

On the contrary, chromosomal mutation is an abnormality in the chromosome ( in terms of number or structure) whereas substitution mutation is the one, which exchanges one base with another. Deletion of base also results in the frame-shift mutation.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "frameshift mutation".

Explanation:

Frameshift mutation is a type of genetic mutation characterized by changing the way a mRNA sequence is read in the ribosome, either by a deletion or an insertion. In this example, a nucleotide is added at the fourth location in a mRNA sequence with the codons GGU-GCU-CCU-AUU. This insertion would change the way the mRNA sequence is read in the ribosome, altering the second codon and therefore all the following codons in the sequence. Therefore, this is an example of a frameshift mutation.

ratelena [41]

Answer:

Thermosphere.

Explanation:

The Northern lights are located at the Thermosphere of the atmosphere. The Thermosphere is lies beyond 80 km above the mesopause. The properties of gases are not constant in this layer. temperature increase rapidly with the increase of height. There are number of ionic layers in this sphere. The layer called D disappears with the sunset as it associated with solar radiation.

blsea [12.9K]
The little dots collected from under the fern leaves are spores, not seeds. Ferns are different from seed-bearing plants in that ferns in a sexless way through sporophyte generation. Spores dropped from or taken from grown fern leaves have developed prothallium. Each prothallium generates male and female organs in what is called the gametophyte stage. When fertilization of the female gametophyte happens, small fern plants or leaflets start to grow.

poizon [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is embroynic stage

Explanation:

The prenatal development is divided into three stages germinal stage, embryonic stage and fetal stage. The period of two weeks after fertilization is called the germinal stage. In this stage, the zygote divided and gets implanted in the uterine wall.

The embryonic stage starts for two weeks and lasts up to 8 weeks after fertilization. At this stage, the cell mass is called embryo. In the embryonic stage, the basic brain structure, CNS, PNS are developed. All the basic organs and body parts develop in this stage except sex organs. So the right answer is the embryonic stage.
