Answer:

Explanation:

A silent mutation is a mutation that does not have an observable change or effect on the organism bearing it. If a base in a DNA sequence changes but the new codon codes for the same amino acid (remember amino acids translation have redundancies), then they will be no observable effect. The most lethal kind of mutation is deletion and insertion because they result in a frameshift mutation.

The digestion of polypeptides begins in the mouth with the enzyme pepsin. True or False

konstantin123 [22]

It is false that the digestion of polypeptides begins in the mouth with the enzyme pepsin.

Explanation:

The food is consumed through the mouth. Here the saliva has an enzyme called amylase which helps in the breaking down of foods to simpler substances. The food is sent through the oesophagus to the stomach.

In the stomach pepsin breaks down proteins into polypeptides. In stomach is where the enzyme pepsin is found. Then the bile juice secreted in the liver acts upon the digested food and then in the small intestine. Then the feces are excreted through the anus.
