Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

In point mutation, alteration affects only one single nucleotide.

In base substitution mutation, one single nucleotide is swapped with another nucleotide

In frameshift mutation, the addition or deletion of one or more base pairs could lead to shift in the arrangement

In triplet repeat mutation, a base pair repeats until it reaches threshold limit

Explanation:

In point mutation, alteration affects only one single nucleotide. This alteration could be insertion, deletion or substitution of only one single nucleotide.  

In base substitution mutation, one single nucleotide is swapped with another nucleotide during the replication process of DNA.  

In frameshift mutation, the addition or deletion of one or more base pairs could lead to shift in the arrangement of triple nucleotide bases.  

For instance if the base pair is

AAT  GCC  CGA TCT

If insertion occurs at second base pair, then the frame will shift as below

AAT  GAC  CCG ATC  T….

In triplet repeat mutation, a base pair repeats until it reaches threshold limit and then becomes unstable

Write a hypothesis about how the interaction of tectonic plates may cause earthquakes.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

Techtonic plates interacting with each other would cause an earthquake because they are essentially the earth's foundation so by sliding together they would  cause rockfall and make a rumble which is basically what an earthquake is and when they interact its basically the earth moving so it would cause shaking and rumbling which is what happens in an earthquake

(Additionally) in the aftermath of an earthquake the plates are either moving or settling down which is why frequently after an earthquake there is a mini one following it
