Insertion and deletion mutations are said to cause shifts in the reading gram of the mRNA. Substitution mutations do not cause t

hese so called frame shifts. Explain why insertion and deletions are frameshift mutations, using the terms reading frame, codons, and amino acids

PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation  is an insertion or deletion in a sequence of DNA which disrupts the way the code is read. It occurs when the codons undergo a disruption through the deletion or insertion of one or multiple nucleotides (given that the number removed or added are not multiples of 3) - this alters the open reading frame; the amino acids produced through translation simply occur in a different sequence.

Further Explanation:

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:

  • somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
  • hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.

Describe the two different notations used to specify isotopes and give an example of each.
Georgia [21]
There are two ways that can be used to name isotopes of an element. This is best illustrated by examples. We'll use the element chlorine for simplicity.

The first example is the more common one. The formula for this notation is E-m where E is the name of the element and m is the mass number. 
(1) Chlorine-35
(2) Chlorine-37
(3) Chlorine 38

Another is less commonly used. The formula for this notation is m^ a L where m is the mass number, a is the atomic number and L is the first letter of the element.
(1) 35^ 35 Cl
(2) 37^ 35 Cl
(3) 38^ 35 Cl

Is the escape of a rattlesnake from a zoo exhibit an example of an invasive species?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

No, it isn't

Explanation:

An invasive species is characterized by an organism's appearance in an area it is not a native of, with a high capacity of reproduction that will cause it to be a threat to native species in that area. A species of organism is tagged "invasive" if it is foreign to a region/location and possess a high reproductive rate that spreads fast and causes harm to other species.

Based on the analogy given in this question about the escape of a rattlesnake from a zoo, it cannot be ascertained that it is an example of invasive species. This is because rattlesnakes may be native to that area and possess a zero threat level to the environment in terms of high spreading rate.
