Answer:

Deletion of two nucleotides.

Explanation:

Every amino acid coded by 3 nucleotides.

12:3=4 (amino acids)

6:3=2 (2 amino acids)

3:3=1 (1 amino acid)

After all of these mutations sequence amino acids change, but after continues stay the same.

Only deletion of 2 nucleotides will completely altered all amino acids encoded without mutation.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: Antibiotics targets the synthesis of protein, nucleic acid, folate and cell wall.

1. Synthesis of protein; antibiotics binds to either 30s or 50s ribosomal subunits blocking the polypeptide from the exiting the tunnel thus inhibiting a full completion of protein expression or production.

2. Nucleic acid synthesis; Antibiotics also act by inhibiting genetic expression, DNA transcription and replication where DNA makes exact copies of itself, as well as RNA molecules preventing bacterial growth.

3. Cell wall synthesis; Inhibition of cell wall synthesis in microorganisms will prevent it from replication and growth.

4. Folate synthesis; Folic acid also known as vitamin B9 helps in DNA replication and cell division. Folate antagonists such as aminopterin kills bacteria by preventing folic acid production required for DNA replication.
