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.

Jill stepped on a tack. Which part of the central nervous system caused her foot to move off the tack quickly in a reflex respon
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: Spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord of the central nervous system helps to move off quickly as a part of the reflex response. Jill stepped on a tack and suddenly he realizes that he should quickly move his legs out of the tack.

The pain is not stimulated until the signals reaches from the receptor to the brain. The formation of the reflex arc ensures that the amount of potential tissue damaged is less.

It forces the body to move quickly from the place that is causing damage.Example: Moving the leg up involuntarily when stepped on pin.

This occurs because the sensory neurons connects to the motor neurons within the spinal cord.This leads to the contraction of bones and muscles.

Hence, the correct option is spinal cord.

A cell has a defect in its receptor for growth factors, preventing growth factors from attaching to and signalling the cell. Bas
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

B. The cell will grow uncontrollably and continue to divide as long as it has food.

Cell growth is theeoretically stimulated by the binding of growth factors to their receptors using signaling pathways.

These pathways are regulated by proteins which are encoded for in the genes.

The gene that controls the regulation of these pathway when mutated produce malfunctioning signaling protein thus not allow for regulations of the cell cycle causing uncontrollable cell division. These mutated genes are called oncogenes.
