What occurs during frameshift mutation?

Biology

yuradex [85]3 years ago

Answer:

C) An extra chromosome is added, causing mismatching of the chromosome pairs.

Explanation:

Mutation is any change, whether big or small, that occurs in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutation can be of different types depending on how it occurs.

According to the question, frameshift mutation is a mutation that causes the normal reading frame of the nucleotide sequence to be altered. It is caused when an extra chromosome is added (insertion) or when one chromosome is removed (deletion). In either way, there will be a mismatch or alteration in the chromosome pair, hence affecting the reading of the nucleotide sequence.

In frameshift mutation, the insertion or deletion causes the

normal CODONS (triplet nucleotide) to be missing or incomplete, hence, disrupts the manner at which the reading takes place (reading frame). Note, frameshift mutation only occurs as a result of insertion or deletion of chromosomes/bases that are not multiples of three that can maintain the normal reading pattern/frame.

This stadium can hold 100,000, or 1x10, people. The
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

1 x 10^13 stadiums will be needed in this scenario

Explanation:

We are told that

1 stadium holds = 1 × 10^5 people and

Number of iron atoms = 1 × 10^18 atoms

If the stadium carries an equivalent number of atoms as that of people.

We can infer that 1 stadium will carry 1 × 10^5 atoms.

The calculation to determine the number of stadiums would then be 1 × 10^18 divided by 10^5 atoms/stadium which was gotten by dividing the total number of atoms by the number of atoms per stadium.

Number of stadiums = Total number of atoms ÷ Number of atoms per stadium

= 1 × 10^18 atoms ÷ 1 × 10^5 atoms/stadium

= 1 × 10^13 Stadiums

This means that 1 × 10^18 atoms would occupy 1 × 10^13 stadiums
