What type of mutation is shown in the sequence below

Biology

7 0

Answer:

Single nucleotide deletion

Explanation:

Original DNA sequence:

A T A C G G T A

T A T G C C A T

Mutated DNA sequence:

A T C G G T A G

T A G C C A T C

​In the mutated sequence, there is a nucleotide missing. It goes from ATACGGTA to ATCGGTAG. The A nucleotide is gone. This represents a single base pair deletion.

Even though it is only one base, this changes the way the entire sequence is interpreted. The DNA transcribed into an mRNA and then translated into a protein by reading triplet codons which correspond to specific amino acids.

So while the initial sequence would be read as:

ATA, CGG, TA...

The new sequence would be read as:

ATC, GGT, AG...

So the sequence of the protein is completely altered.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

d. alcohol inhibits the release of ADH

Explanation:

Alcohol play an opposite role in water reabsorption. ADH is made in supraoptic nuclues of hypothalamus and transfers fby neuron to posterior pituatry where it gets stored and secreted. Alcohol stops the release of ADH from posterior pituatry which decreases the serum level of ADH. As the ADH level lowers it wont be able to reabsorb water from the distal/collecting tubules of kidneys leading to increase in urine volume and urination.
