<span>The two major forces that shape/reshape the earth are internal forces, i.e.volcanoes and earthquakes and external forces, i.e. weather and the ocean, both of which cause erosion. Volcanoes can add landmass but also can destroy land or cause a winter-like state caused by ash in the atmosphere which can block out the sun and possible killing vast amounts of plant and animal life. Earthquakes can change the land by process of subduction where one plate (land surface or ocean bottom) is forced under another. Erosion wears down geologic formations by the actions of wind and water. Over time water can carve valleys or canyons. Ocean water can erode coastlines by the constant beating of waves on the shore. Wind can carry away particles of land and deposit them elsewhere. Wind and weather combined can be a powerful force for reshaping the earth.</span>

What produces proteins by following coded instructions that come from the nucleus of the cell

DNA and RNA both produce proteins, but RNA copies itself and moves out of the nucleus while DNA stays inside the nucleus and produces proteins. Also DNA helps more in cell division, while RNA helps in making proteins.

Explain what frame shift means and is it more or less likely to cause a noticeable mutation than a substitution

harina [27]

Answer:

A frameshift mutation can be described as a genetic mutation in which a single nucleotide or more than one nucleotide is inserted or deleted from the sequence of the DNA. As the gene expresses itself in the form of triplets of a genetic code, insertion or deletion can cause devastating changes in the genetic code due to which wrong proteins will be synthesized.

Frameshift mutations can be more noticeable than the substitution mutation. In a substitution mutation, only one of the nucleotides is shifted with another. The entire genetic code is not affected by it.
