Why is insertion/deletion of three bases less deleterious than insertion/deletion of one or two bases.

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.

Answer:

Beacuase a codon consists of three bases.

Explanation:

If an insertion or deletion occurs in bases that are not three or multiple of three, the mutation will change the whole sequence of amino acids in translating protein. Earlier the mutation occur the greater will be damage and the result will be totally a new or non-functional protrein. These type of mutations are called as framshift mutations

On the other if the mutation occurs in three bases or multiple of three bases, there would be change in few amino acids (becuase whole codon is indel) and protein may be still functional. That type of mutations are known as In-frame mutations.

The Meselson-Stahl experiment demonstrated which of the following about DNA replication? View Available Hint(s) The Meselson-Sta
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

This experiment proved that DNA replicated semiconservatively; half the original polynucleotide is conserved in each of the two copies

Explanation:

Semi-conservative mode of replication means that the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each of themacts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. As a result, two formed DNA moleculesc ontain one original strand and one new strand.

Meselson and Stahl experiment showed this model by labeling the DNA of bacteria across generations using isotopes of nitrogen ( patterns of DNA labeling showed the mode of replication).

What is the relationship between biomes and ecosystems???<br><br>Please answer soon
satela [25.4K]

Explanation:

Biome and the ecosystem are the words that are sometimes applied interchangeably to explain a particular kind of environment.

The biome represents the geographical region that has the same kind of ecological atmosphere, climate and mostly consistent collection of the species and it is made of a large number of ecosystems.

An ecosystem represents a particular element of the biome and a species that nearly interact in it.

Thus the biome is the collection of various types of ecosystems.
