Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

In reproductive or sexual cells

Explanation:

There are two principal types of cells in the organism: Somatic diploid cells (2n) that reproduce by the process of mitosis, and germ cells that are diploid reproductive cells in charge of gamete production. These germ cells suffer both mitosis (to form more sexual cells) and meiosis (giving place to haploid gametes: sperm and egg cells, through the gametogenesis process). Both somatic cells and germinal cells will end their cycle becoming two daughter cells with the same genetic dotation.

Gametes from each parent will merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called a zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete cell from the structural point of view that suffers successive mitosis to form the new organism.

Any cell in the organism might suffer mutation.

  • If the mutation occurs in the somatic cells, it will produce a population of identical mutated cells in that organism. However, this mutation in these cells is not inheritable. By definition, mutations in somatic cells do not inherit because these cells do not produce progeny.
  • If the mutation occurs in the germinal line, in the germ cells, or the sexual cells, this <u>mutation will pass to the offspring</u>. The organism with mutated germinal cells might express a normal phenotype, but this mutation will be detected in the progeny.

Frameshift mutation are the result of what occurrence?​
Alisiya [41]

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation (also called a framing error or a reading frame shift) is a genetic mutation caused by indels (insertions or deletions) of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three. Due to the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion can change the reading frame (the grouping of the codons), resulting in a completely different translation from the original. The earlier in the sequence the deletion or insertion occurs, the more altered the protein. A frameshift mutation is not the same as a single-nucleotide polymorphism in which a nucleotide is replaced, rather than inserted or deleted. A frameshift mutation will in general cause the reading of the codons after the mutation to code for different amino acids. The frameshift mutation will also alter the first stop codon ("UAA", "UGA" or "UAG") encountered in the sequence. The polypeptide being created could be abnormally short or abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.

Which best describes the limits of science?
vichka [17]

A. Science cannot answer philosophical questions. Philosophical questions could be described as rheoretical questions, such as "what is the purpose of life?" These questions' answers can very from person to person. Science answers questions such as "what is the boiling point of water?", or "what is the chemical structure of water? These are both questions that have the same answer, no matter who is asking them. You just have to have the ability to accurately measure and observe the things involved, or in this case, the temperature of the water when it starts to boil or whe different atoms in the water.

Let's examine the other questions.

B. science can answer only mathematical questions. As you saw in the explanation above, science can also answer other questions, as long as they have a definite answer that we can accurately measure.

C.Science can answer any questions. Again, we have already saw that science cannot answer philosophical questions, so science cannot answer any question.

D. Science can answer any difficult questions. As with the example of the chemical stucture of water, we can answer difficult questions with science. This may seem simple to you, but it would be very difficult if it was not already known!
