Answer: D. Frameshift mutation

Explanation:

A nonsense mutation is one in which a codon codifying for an amino acid is replaced by a stop codon, resulting in a premature end to translation (e.g. TAT [Tyrosine] >> TAG [stop]).

A missense mutation is one in which a codon is altered in such a way that it ends up codifying for a <em>different</em> amino acid (e.g. AUA [Isoleucine] >> AUG [Methionine]).

A point mutation is any mutation which involves the altering of a single nucleotide (such as the examples given above), <em>regardless</em> of its effect on the resulting protein.

Finally: a frameshift mutation is one which alters the <em>reading frame</em> of a gene, which results in a whole different set of nucleotides being treated as individual codons by the translation machinery. The consequence of this is a significant change in the resulting amino acid sequence. Frameshift mutations may be the result of several mechanisms which include insertions and deletions. The example given in the picture appears to show an example of one such mutation.

The breakdown of food via enzymatic reactions is known as __________.
r-ruslan [8.4K]
I believe you're looking for "chemical digestion".

Chemical digestions is where food that we ate is digested into simpler and soluble molecules that can be absorbed by our body. Enzymes are used as a catalyst to speed up the reaction.

One example is the digestion of lipids. Enzyme named lipase is used to speed up the digestion of lipids into 3 fatty acid molecules and 1 glycerol. This way, our body can absorb these simple molecules, and use them in order to make our body function.

On the other hand, physical digestion does not include enzymes, such as chewing in our mouth, therefore, don't mix them up!

How many homologous chromosome alignments are possible for independent assortment during meiosis?
ad-work [718]

Answer

Two alignments.


Two alignments are possible for independent assortment during meiosis.

Explanation;

-According to the independent assortment ; when two or more characteristics are inherited, individual hereditary factors assort independently during the process of meiosis.

-This results to different traits having an equal opportunity of occurring together.

-It means that during meiosis, the pairs of homologous chromosome are divided in half to form haploid cells, and this separation, or assortment, of homologous chromosomes is random.
