Which of the following describes a frameshift mutation?

Biology

KIM [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The statement that best describes the frameshift mutation is insertion or deletion of a group of nucleotides that is not a multiple of three (option C).

Explanation:

Frameshift mutation occurs when nucleotides are inserted or lost in a sequence of bases, altering the reading frame and the way nitrogenous bases are grouped together.

The sequence of nucleotides in DNA determines the mRNA nucleotide sequence, on which amino acid synthesis depends. This sequence is read in threes, and the gain or loss of nucleotides, not multiples of three, causes the normal reading to be altered.

A change in the reading frame can produce an amino acid that does not correspond to the structure of a protein, or the coding of a STOP codon,  which interrupts the synthesis of a protein and leaves it incomplete.

The correct answer is C because a frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation caused by indels of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three

Xelga [282]

Answer: The statement is true

Explanation:

Persons with type O- blood are often referred to as the "universaldonors" based on the presence of neither type A or B antigen on the red blood cell, coupled with anti-A and anti-B antibodies. Hence, since

the type O blood lacks antigens, it does not clump when mixed with any of the other blood types in the recipient plasma

Thus, the type O blood is a universal donor

A client with heart disease has the left ventricular ejection fraction measured. What is the normal left ventricular ejection wh
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Normal left ventricle ejection fraction ranges from 55% to 70%

Explanation:

Ejection fraction depicts that with each heart beat, how much amount of blood is pumped by the left ventricle with each contraction as left ventricle is called as the main pumping chamber.

The percentage below EF value is the sign of heart failure.

The percentage of Normal Left Ventricle ejaculation fraction (LVEF) is 55% to 70% and if the value goes down, then it can create hear failure.

If the value is between 40% to 54%, that means less blood is ejaculated by Left ventricle as the amount of availability of blood is less.

If the percentage of EF value is below 35% that will determine the great risk of life threat for irregular heart beat.

How is gene theory related to the theory of evolution?
pashok25 [27]
Heredity is the process of passing of traits from one generation to the next generation. Now, this process would not lead to any interesting results (and in turn, the astonishing variety of life on earth), if this process was 100% accurate or faithful. So, even though traits are transferred from parents to their off-springs, the traits are usually marginally altered.
This gives rise to off-springs who are like their parents but with very minor changes. These changes could either be a) beneficial b) harmful (deleterious) or c) neutral.
Harmful changes cause the organism to perish before it can pass on these changes to the next generation. Sometimes a trait that existed in the earlier might become deleterious due to a change in the environment and thus, undergo the process of elimination from the population.
Beneficial changes help the organism to adapt better to its surroundings and live longer and have more off-springs such that these changes are spread to more and more organisms in the population and are eventually get fixed.

A series of such changes in a subsection of a population eventually lead to a new species which is nothing like the older generation. This process of “fixing” or beneficial changes and removal of deleterious traits from a population is called evolution.

Interestingly, the changes that seem the most inconsequential, the neutral changes, are responsible for the bulk of evolution. Neutral changes along with geographical isolation lead to a process called genetic drift, which is considered by many to be the strongest driving force of evolution.
