Answer:

missense

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:. Imagine a gene in which the sequence that is transcribed into a GAG codon, which codes for glutamic acid, is mutated to GUG, which codes for valine. What type of mutation is this?

- nonsense

- frameshift

- missense

- silent

- base pair deletion.

a missense mutation is a point mutation in which a single nucleotide change results in a codon that codes for a different amino acid. It is a type of nonsynonymous substitution.

Answer:

mitosis: It is a process by which the duplicated genome in cell is separated into halves that are in nature.

It occur in three phases: interphases, karyokines and cytokinesis.

Cytokinesis: It is a process where the cytoplasm of cell divided two "daughter" cells.

It occur through two processes: in animals, in eukaryotic cell and one in plant cell.

When a person is exercising the body needs to deliver increased amounts of oxygen to the muscles. Which componentes f the blood
ad-work [718]

In human blood, there is a compound inside the RBCs called haemoglobin which ensures that the muscle will receive enough oxygen during exercise.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

In human blood, the red blood corpuscles contain the haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a iron chelated compound containing porphyrin ring and a globin tail which can establish co-ordinate covalent bond with both oxygen and carbon dioxide. The bonding element depends on the concentration of these two gases. In lungs, where the oxygen concentration is more than carbon dioxide, the haemoglobin bonds with oxygen and brings it to the tissues where carbon dioxide concentration is more. This makes the haemoglobin to release oxygen and bond with carbon dioxide which is brought back to lungs. This is the process by which each and every tissue including the muscles recieve oxygen.

In muscles there is Myoglobin which is another iron-porphyrin compound which has several times more affinity for oxygen than haemoglobin. This helps to extract more oxygen from haemoglobin in muscles.

Why is it very unlikely for a frameshift mutation to be a silent mutation?
never [62]
When a frameshift mutation occurs, the string of DNA will be glued together. When this DNA is going to be part of a process, such as a transcription, whatever is causing the process is unaware of the mutation actually having happened.
