Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "frameshift mutations".

Explanation:

The reading frame of a gene is based on base-pair triplets, starting from the start codon until the ribosome encounters with the end codon. Base-pair additions and deletions are collectively referred to as frameshift mutations because they alter the reading frame of the gene. Base-pair additions and deletions break down the original sequence of the gene triplets, which alters the open reading frame and usually results in the production of non active proteins.

Which is a type of star system? dim stars solar system planets wobbling stars globular clusters
pshichka [43]

Globular clusters is a type of star system where the stars are tightly bounded by gravity.

<h3>What is a star system?</h3>

A star system can be defined as small number of stars that orbit around each other and are bound by gravitational force of attraction.

It is also called a stellar system.

Globular clusters is a type of star system with the following features;

  • It is composed of hundreds or thousands of low-metal old stars.                                    
  • Stars are similar to those in the spiral galaxy
  • Stars are tightly bound by gravity.

Hence, globular clusters is a type of star system.

Generally speaking, which of the following mutations would most severely affect the protein coded for by a gene?a) a base substi
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Answer is C.

Explanation:

For A and B, a base substitution affects one of the three bases that comprise a codon, the DNA/RNA unit that corresponds to a particular amino acid. If one base is substituted, one codon and therefore one amino acid will be affected. Codons have built-in redundancy, so even by changing one base, the new codon sometimes still corresponds to the same amino acid. Therefore, a base substitution at most affects one amino acid, and sometimes doesn't affect it all.

Frameshift mutations cause a lot more trouble. These occur when you have a deletion or insertion that changes the number of bases in your gene. As a result, the "frame" of the codons changes (everything shifts one way or the other by the number of bases added/removed). This affects EVERY codon downstream of the mutation, so you can imagine that such a mutation would have a bigger effect the closer to the start of the gene it occurs. This is why C is correct.
