The correct answer is C. 36

Explanation:

In genetics, a nucleotide refers to the basic units that form genetical material. On the other hand, a codon refers to a sequence of three nucleotides in the mRNA or messenger RNA which are a set of molecules that take genetical information from ADN to the ribosome of the cell. This implies in the case of a 12 mRNA codons there are 36 nucleotides as each of the codons contains three nucleotides which means by multiplying the number of codons by three (number of nucleotides) it is possible to know the total number of nucleotides in an RNA sequence or in this case 12 (codons) x 3 (nucleotides) = 36 nucleotides.

Sever21 [200]

Explanation:

An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body sees it's own cells as foreign antigens and begins to attack them.

Insertion and deletion mutations are said to cause shifts in the reading gram of the mRNA. Substitution mutations do not cause t
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation  is an insertion or deletion in a sequence of DNA which disrupts the way the code is read. It occurs when the codons undergo a disruption through the deletion or insertion of one or multiple nucleotides (given that the number removed or added are not multiples of 3) - this alters the open reading frame; the amino acids produced through translation simply occur in a different sequence.

Further Explanation:

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:

  • somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
  • hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.
