A new born has soft spot on he top of its head. This is called as fontanelle and is diamond in shape present on the top of the head of the baby.

Babies skull is very soft and can be very easily moulded, to help them squeeze through the birth canal at the time of delivery.

Moulding is done in the skull of the babies as it is most largest part of the body during the time of delivery.

As soon as the skull and bones of the baby meet and fuse they become hard gradually.

Mutations in DNA include deletions and insertions. These types of mutations:
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

(A). Result in different amino acids to be read due to frame shifts

Explanation:

Insertion or deletion mutations (or Indel mutations) can be defined as mutations in DNA due to insertion (addition) or deletion of nucleotide bases in DNA.  

These mutations lead to change in reading frames (sequence of codons), which leads to formation of protein having completely different amino acid sequence. Hence, these mutations are also cause frameshift mutations.

This is due due to triplet nature of genetic codes as insertion or deletion of one or more bases (but not three) would change change in codon sequence and mutated sequence can form a non-functional or truncated protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
