Why is it very unlikely for a frameshift mutation to be a silent mutation?

A frameshift mutation completely changes the genetic code from the point of the mutation, so the protein made as a result of the mutation would have the incorrect structure and would not function as it should.

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.

What is FAD in Biology​
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide

Explanation:

"Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is synthesized from riboflavin and two molecules of ATP. Riboflavin is phosphorylated by ATP to give riboflavin 5′-phosphate (also called flavin mononucleotide, FMN). FAD is then formed from FMN by the transfer of an AMP moiety from a second molecule of ATP."

A plane is traveling at 80 m/s. To prepare for landing, it decreases its speed to 50 m/s in 120 s.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The deceleration of the plane is 0.25 m/s^{2}.

Explanation:

Deceleration is the converse of acceleration.

From first law of motion, we have;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Thus,

v = 50 m/s

u = 80 m/s

t = 120 s

50 = 80 + 120a

50 - 80 = 120a

-30 = 120a

a = \frac{-30}{120}

  = -0.25

a = -0.25 m/s^{2}

The deceleration of the plane is 0.25 m/s^{2}.

the thesis statement names supporting points in the same order that they appear as the paragraphs in the body section.
algol [13]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A thesis statement provides the idea of what the thesis is going to be in about two sentences. The sequence of the statement is simply the introduction of the topic and then the position the author is taking in regards to the topic by providing the supporting points in a similar way as provided in the body. This way the thesis statement does name the supporting points in the same order that they appear as the paragraphs in the body section. Hence, this statement is true as the supporting argument is presented in the same sequence as it is presented in the body section.
