What results from the addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number except a multiple of 3?

Addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number besides 3 results in a "frame-shift mutation."
This is because every 3 nucleotides of DNA/mRNA exons codes for a single amino acid in the synthesis of a protein. This triplet codon theory means that if 3 nucleotides are added or deleted then an amino acid will be added or lost, but subsequent codons and amino acids will still be read correctly.
However, if any number of nucleotides other than 3 are added or removed, then the codons following the mutation will be out of "sync," in terms of the reading order.
Hence it is called a frame-shift mutation because it shift the reading frame when translating nucleic acids into proteins. Frame shifts will lead to the wrong amino acids being adding in the wrong order for the rest of the code after the mutation.

____is the cells way of converting food molecules into a form useful to the cell.
enyata [817]

Answer:

Respiration

Explanation:

cross off Photosynthesis because that is specifically for plants. Diffusion is when molecules move from high concentration to low concentrations. Osmosis helps transport water across the cell.

By process of reduction you can figure it out, but here is what cellular respiration is in it's basics so you can remember in the future. Cellular Respiration is just the process that takes place in cells to convert Chemical Energy from nutrients and turn it into ATP, then releases waste.
