Nonsense, missense, silent, and frameshift mutations are point mutations. The point mutations are the change in a single nucleotide base on the DNA molecule. In a missense mutation, the change in a single nucleotide base results in a codon coding for a different amino acid. In a nonsense mutation, the change in a single nucleotide results in a stop codon or in a nonsense codon. Frameshift mutation, due to addition or deletion of a base, results in the change of reading frame and totally different translation. In all these cases, the change could lead to different of nonfunctional protein translation. Silent mutation, on the other, means that change in a nucleotide base will no affect amino acid. It will result in a different codon, but the one that code for the same amino acid, so the same protein will be produced.
The process of transport of substances that uses energy and carrier proteins of the membrane is called active transport. Amino acids can not cross the hydrophobic core of the membrane and therefore, are transported through carrier proteins. The carrier proteins transport the amino acids using energy and the process is called active transport.
The SI unit of temperature is the Kelvin. Although the Celsius temperature scale is also used, it is considered a derived SI unit and is generally used to measure everyday temperatures.
plankton use photosynthesis to absorb energy from the sun to create food. sea bass consume plankton by filtering them from the water while otters will catch and eat the seabass
