<span>It is True - Sand that extends from a coast into open water is called a barrier spit.

Barrier spits are formed when there is a deposit on the shoreline due to the lateral movement of water.

The waves are known to hit the shoreline at a particular angle which cause the lateral movement of water accompanied with the sedimentation along the coastline in the direction of the wave motion.</span>

Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution misse

Aneli [31]

Explanation:

A single nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation causes a change of a single amino acid into another. Aa a result, the produced protein will have an almost normal sequence except for one amino acid.

On the other hand, a frameshift mutation changes the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA every three nucleotides (codons) and translates them into amino acids that will form the nascent protein. If there is a frameshift mutation (an insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides not multiple of three) the ribosome will "read" the mRNA differently and will identify different codons than the wild-type sequence, so a large number of amino acids will be different in the mutated protein.

Where is abdominal injury most likely to occur in young children?

Kazeer [188]

Liver

In pediatric patients, the liver and spleen are very large in proportion to the size of the abdominal cavity and are more easily injured. The soft, flexible ribs of infants and young children do not protect these two organs very well and may allow injury to underlying organs, even without fracturing the ribs.
