Where would a frameshift mutation cause the most damage?

Biology
1 answer:
tester [92]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

All frameshift mutations are equal

Explanation:

Frameshift mutation is a type of mutation caused by insertion or deletion of nucleotide base(s) in a genetic sequence causing that sequence to be read in a different way from what was originally planned.

The bases in the sequence of a gene is read in three's (codon), however, when one or more bases is added (insertion) or removed (deleted), the reading frame is altered causing the sequence to be read in a completely different order that can result in a protein that is non-functional.

However, FRAMESHIFT MUTATION is so potent that it affects the sequence no matter where it occurs. In other words, the effect of all frameshift mutations are equal.

Define Nucleosynthesis and describe what it was like in the first few minutes after the Big Bang
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Actually, in physical cosmology, Big Bang nucleosynthesis (or primordial nucleosynthesis) refers to the production of nuclei other than H-1, the normal, light hydrogen, during the early phases of the universe, shortly after the Big Bang. About first millisecond, the universe had cooled to a few trillion kelvins (1012 K) and quarks finally had the opportunity to bind together into free protons and neutrons. Free neutrons are unstable with a half-life of about ten minutes (614.8 s) and formed in much smaller numbers. The abundance ratio was about seven protons for every neutron. Before one neutron half-life passed nearly every neutron had paired up with a proton, and nearly every one of these pairs had paired up to form helium. By this time the universe had cooled to a few billion kelvins (109 K) and the rate of nucleosynthesis had slowed down significantly.

Organisms can adapt to their environment within one generation
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Organisms can adapt to their environment within one generation if they are selected naturally by the nature.

Explanation:

Organisms can survived which can withstand or tolerate the harsh climate of the environment while some organisms removed from that environment due to low survival ability in that harsh climate. This selection is done by nature in which well suited animals and plants can survive in that environment due to certain adaptations. Those organisms can adapt to their environment within one generation due to survival ability and high fitness.

For example, in deserts, bears did not survive because it requires cold climate so only reptiles such as snakes and lizards can survive in this environment.

What are some examples where apoptosis is normal for the proper development of an organism?
Gre4nikov [31]
Recall that apoptosis is programmed cell death—think of it as the cell deciding to self-destruct. So you might ask yourself, why would a cell need to die?

Remember that, in the cell cycle, there are certain checkpoints where a cell may stop and ensure everything is going smoothly. If something went wrong, the cell could potentially become cancerous, in which case it is much safer for a cell to undergo apoptosis rather than risk developing cancer.

Another example would be in the immune system. When cells get infected, cells called <em>cytotoxic t cells</em> go around and force these infected cells to undergo apoptosis in order to reduce the spread of infection.

Hope this helps!
