Mutations are changes in nucleotide sequence. Some are neutral because whatever amino acid substitutions they cause do not serio

usly affect the final protein. A frameshift mutation, however, can change a protein's function. To what does the frame and frameshift refer? Is it A: to a shift from the DNA framework to the RNA framework, or is it B: a shift in nucleotide groupings?

Answer:

The correct answer is B: a shift in nucleotide groupings

Explanation:

Frameshift mutation is caused by the addition or deletion of base pairs in the protein-coding regions of DNA during replication. Nucleotides are arranged in a group of three which are called codons that code for a particular amino acid during protein formation.  

This translational reading frame of codon disrupts when any nucleotide gets added in the reading frame or gets subtracted from it because it cause the shifting of the translational reading frame.

This shift in nucleotide group can lead to the formation of inactive protein or functionally changed protein. Therefore the correct answer is B.

Think about a petal plucked from its flower. Is the petal alive according to the characteristics of life ? Why or why not ?
Masteriza [31]

No.

It contains living cells (temporarily), but neither the cells nor the petal fit the definition of an organism: "any complete and entire living thing capable of carrying out all the processes necessary for life."

Organism A has blunt teeth, while organism B has sharp ones. Identify the organisms on basis of their feed habit and give anothe
VikaD [51]

Answer:

- Organism A is most likely a herbivore

- Organism B is most likey a carnivore

Explanation:

Based on feeding habit, organisms, usually animals, can be classified into three categories namely: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

- Herbivores are those organisms that feed on vegetative matter i.e. plants while carnivores are those organisms that feed on flesh of other animals or organisms. Based on what they feed on, herbivores are adapted to possess blunt teeth (for chewing) like Organism A in this question while carnivores are adapted to possess sharp teeth (for tearing flesh) like Organism B.

Based on the above explanation, organism A is most likely a HERBIVORE while organisms B is most likely a CARNIVORE.

- Another notable point of difference between herbivores and carnivores, which is likely to differentiate organism A and B as well, is that herbivores possess digestive enzyme- amylase in their saliva while carnivores do not. Herbivores need AMYLASE to break down complex carbohydrate (starch) in the plants they feed on.
