Answer:
A frame shift mutation (also called a framing error or a reading frame shift) is a genetic mutation caused by indels (insertions or deletions) of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three.The earlier in the sequence the deletion or insertion occurs, the more altered the protein.

Answer:
A neuron that has only one axon but several dendrites is classified as:
a. multipolar neuron.
Explanation:
- The neurons are the fundamental unit of the nervous system.
- The nervous system consist of only two types of cell; neurons and neuroglia.
- Neurons are specialized to respond to physical and chemical stimuli, conduct nerve impulse and release neurotransmitter , while the neuroglia supports , nourish and protect the neuron.
- Most neurons have three parts: a cell body, dendrites and axon.
- Neurons show a great diversity in size and shape, and are classified on the basis of structure and function.
On the Basis of structure the neurons are classified as: unipolar, bipolar and multipolar. (Multidendritic neurons are studied in <em>Drosophilla </em>and are reported to be a result of misexpressed<em> gene</em>)..
- Multipolar neurons are the most common type of neurons in the brain and spinal cord and have several dendritic processes and one axon.
- Bipolar neurons are found in retina of the eye, in the inner ear and in the olfactory area of the brain and are characterized by one dendrite and one axon.
- Uni-polar neurons have single processes extending from the cell body which divide into two branches.
On the basis of function neurons are classified as; sensory, motor and association neurons.
Answer:
The senses of smell and taste combine at the back of the throat. When you taste something before you smell it, the smell lingers internally up to the nose causing you to smell it.
Explanation:
The false answer is B because to be exact, the two copies of a gene carried by an organism (such as a Y and a y allele) are located at the same spot on the two chromosomes of a homologous pair. Homologous chromosomes are similar but non-identical, and an organism gets one member of the pair from each of its two parents.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>The DNA of eukaryotic organisms being present in the nucleus while the protein-synthesizing organelle, the ribosome being present in the cytoplasm poses a spatial problem. It means that transcribed DNAs (messenger RNA) in the nucleus would have to somehow be transported to the ribosome in order for the cell to successfully synthesize proteins.</em>
The problem of transporting the messenger RNA is solved by two features of the cell:
- The presence of pores in the nuclear envelop
- The presence of transport proteins in the nucleus
<u>The mRNA binds to the transport proteins to form mRNA-protein complexes and is transported through the nuclear pores, often with the assistance of ATP. </u>
