Answer:

nonsense mutation

Explanation:

A point mutation is a mutation within DNA sequence when a single nucleotide is changed (substitued, deleted, added). They can have various effects depending on the type of point mutation. For example, nonsense mutations are point mutations that result in a premature stop codon. UAC codon codes for the tyrosine amino acid, while UAG is stop codon. A s a consequence, protein product is usually unfunctional because it is incomplete.

Nonsense mutations can cause genetic disorders (e.g. thalassemia).

What is the answer to number 2? Please help! :)
Kay [80]

For each of the examples, simple diffusion, carrier, and channel mediated, each type involves the flow down a concentration gradient. This means that the molecules flow from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In turn, this allows for a passive process, meaning no ATP is needed! I hope this explains your question.
