I believe it would be A. because that is the muscle that regulates the heart pumping. This would happen because the pacemaker is taking over and it now has no purpose.

Answer: Option A

Explanation: Pacemakers are artificial device used generates electrical signals in the heart. It is used when the heart is not able to contract and relax( pumping of blood) naturally. This is known as natural pacing of the heart.

This mechanism is controlled naturally by the sinoatrial node of the heart. When the muscles present in the heart relax and contract the pumping of blood takes place.

When this mechanism is not properly working, artificial devices called as pacemakers are used.

Why is insertion/deletion of three bases less deleterious than insertion/deletion of one or two bases.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Explanation:

Insertion/deletion of 3 base which is a condon will be less fathal because only one amino acid will be missing from the protein of which the gene codes for.

If one codon is deleted it will still be the same but might cause a disease for example in cystic fibrosis one amino acid, 508th Phenly alanine is missing in the CFTR protein. They severity of diseases caused by Insertion or deletion is increased as the number of condon are more.

However, if only one or two is deleted/inserted then all the codons will shift causing them to be in different groups which may form a totally different amino acids as seen in frameshift mutation. This is more dangerous.
