Answer:
d) a polypeptide missing an amino acid.
Explanation:
Deletion is a type of mutation when one or more codons from the reading frame are removed. This results in the production of a relatively shorter mRNA that lacks one or more codons otherwise present in the non-mutated mRNA. When there is a deletion of a single codon in the gene for cystic fibrosis, the resultant shorter mRNA codes for a polypeptide chain that does not carry one amino acid. For example, deletion of one codon results in deletion of a Phe residue present at position 508 in CFTR. The mutated transmembrane protein CFTR folds in an improper way.
Protection- the cranium and ribs protect the brain and vital organs in the chest
Shape- gives shape to the body and makes you tall or short
Support- holds your vital organs in place when playing sports. The vertebrae column holds the body upright
Movement- muscles are attached to bones, which are joined. When the muscles contract, the bones move
Blood Production- red blood cells(to carry oxygen) and white blood cells(to protect against infection) are produced in the bone marrow of some bones
Plant cells have a cell wall, but animals cells do not. Cell walls provide support and give shape to plants. Plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells do not.
Hope this helps :)
