When a DNA sequence alteration results in a stop codon rather than a codon that specifies an amino acid, it is known as a nonsense mutation. This is rarely seen in 10% of patients with genetic disease.
<h3>What is nonsense mutation?</h3>
A nonsense mutation in a DNA sequence causes a premature stop codon, also known as a nonsense codon, in the transcribed mRNA as well as a shortened, ineffective, and typically nonfunctional protein product.
Because stop codons, also known as nonsense codons, signal the completion of protein synthesis rather than encoding for an amino acid, they are the source of the term "nonsense mutation."
Examples of illnesses for which nonsense mutations have been implicated as contributing factors include: Cystic fibrosis (produced by the G542X mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator); (CFTR) Beta-globin (thalassemia) Hurler disease.

When the continents are at the Earths poles, they receive less sunlight.
Genetic drift is defined as a shift in the allelic frequency of a population. This can be caused by natural selection which is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals across a population due to differences in phenotype. Natural selection favors particular traits in a population hence these individuals are able to reproduce while the individuals with disadvantageous traits will pass their genes to succeeding generations. This way the allelic frequency of succeeding generation will be diferent from that of the parent population.
This would depend on if the other parents has it or not. If they do not, they have a 50/50 chance that the trait will become recessive. That said, it could still be passed on to the child's kids in later generations.
Answer:
By researching, I would think that the answer is D. Ice crystals melt as they fall through a warm layer of air and then refreeze into small ice pellets as they pass through a colder layer of air.
Explanation:
<em>During precipitation formation, if temperatures are at or below freezing, 0°C (32°F), at cloud level, water in the air freezes into ice crystals, and the crystals stick together to make snow. The snow starts to fall, and if the air column is freezing cold all the way down from the clouds to the ground, the precipitation stays frozen. It simply falls as snow.</em>
<em />
<em>Sometimes, however, a temperature inversion occurs. Normally, the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. A temperature inversion is when a layer of warm air intrudes between the ground and the clouds.</em>
<em />
<em>Under these conditions, when the falling snow reaches the layer of warm air, it melts. Then it hits the layer of cold air just above Earth’s surface and refreezes. This all happens very fast, and the result is tiny ice pellets called sleet.</em>
