A. Yes is correct.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
A frameshift changes every codon past it. A base substitution only changes one codon.
Explanation:
DNA is comprised of nucleotides (A, C, T, G) that make up amino acids. Every three bases is called a codon and represents an amino acid.
In a frameshift mutation, a nucleotide is either added or deleted from the sequence. This offsets the entire sequence after it because the reading frame shifts. Here's an example:
ACTGCTATCGTCATC
If another T is added in between the first and second codons, then every codon after will be changed.
ACT>T<GCTATCGTCATC
A substitution mutation is usually less severe, as it only alters one codon in the sequence. These occur when one nucleotide is replaced by another one. Here's an example:
ACTGCTATCGTCATC
Let's say the first G is replaced by a T.
ACT>T<CTATCGTCATC
As you can see, none of the other codons changed.
Typically, a frameshift mutation is considered worse than a substitution mutation.
They are genetically identical to the parent cell.
D. There are no major fault lines or hot spots close by.
Why?
Because "They don’t occur anywhere else other than along the Ring of Fire" is incorrect, the Ring of Fire is just a place where many volcanoes are.
Because "The composition of the rock in that area is not conductive to eruptions." they type of rock doesn't play that much of a role in the formation of volcanoes
Because "The magma doesn’t have enough silica or gas to form an explosive eruption." It isn't a gass that is found, it is the build up of pressure from fultlines moving and things on the inside of the earth.
