For the answer to the question above, I think this is <span>False and the answer is based on the book, Nirenberg, and Matthaei. 19- unlabeled amino acids. Cys-Val-Cys-Val. (pg. 318 & 319)</span>. I hope I helped you somehow. Have a nice day!
Answer:
Explanation:
Insertion/deletion of 3 base which is a condon will be less fathal because only one amino acid will be missing from the protein of which the gene codes for.
If one codon is deleted it will still be the same but might cause a disease for example in cystic fibrosis one amino acid, 508th Phenly alanine is missing in the CFTR protein. They severity of diseases caused by Insertion or deletion is increased as the number of condon are more.
However, if only one or two is deleted/inserted then all the codons will shift causing them to be in different groups which may form a totally different amino acids as seen in frameshift mutation. This is more dangerous.
