Which is a frameshift mutation? A. substitution B. nonsense C. silent D. deletion

Biology
2 answers:
Lesechka [4]2 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

A mutation is a change or alteration in the sequence of the DNA of the organism which leads to change the function of the sequence.

The mutation is caused by many mechanisms but one of the mechanism is by adding or deleting the nucleotide in the sequence of the DNA.

The addition or deletion shifts the frame of the DNA while scanning it to form mRNA molecule which then codes a different protein. Therefore the type of mutation is known as "frameshift mutation".

In the given question, since the only deletion is provided therefore, option-D is the correct answer.

I would say D

A frameshift mutation is a mutation caused by an insertion or deletion, which causes a shift in the translational reading frame. ... Instead of just changing one amino acid, frameshifts cause a change in all the amino acids in the rest of the gene

Answer:

1) B - protein channel

2) D - to assist in the movement of substances across the membrane by facilitated diffusion or active transport

Explanation:

1) B is the answer because the proteins would travel through the protein channel to enter or leave the cell.

2) D is the answer because the channel allows protein molecules to pass through a selectively permeable cell membrane through active transport and facilitated diffusion.

Hope this helps!

ATP, an energy carrier molecule, is classified with nucleic acids.<br>True or false​
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

ATP – or Adenosine Triphosphate – is the primary energy carrier in all living organisms on earth.  Microorganisms capture and store energy metabolized from food and light sources in the form of ATP.

When the cell requires energy, ATP is broken down through hydrolysis. The high energy bond is broken and a phosphoryl group is removed. The energy released from this process is used to drive various cellular processes. ATP is constantly formed and broken down as it participates in biological reactions and it is central to the health and growth of all life. Without it, cells could not transfer energy from one location to another, making it impossible for organisms to grow and reproduce.

ATP is a nucleotide that consists of three main structures: the nitrogenous base, adenine; the sugar, ribose; and a chain of three phosphate groups bound to ribose.

You are studying the amino acid sequence of a protein shared by four organisms. You want to know which organism is most closely
aksik [14]
Well, I need the chart first of all, but second, If you have to find out which one is closely related to A, just take the amino acid sequence and compare the sequence to each organism, and which ever one has the most related sequences, is the closely related organism.
