Addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number besides 3 results in a "frame-shift mutation."
This is because every 3 nucleotides of DNA/mRNA exons codes for a single amino acid in the synthesis of a protein. This triplet codon theory means that if 3 nucleotides are added or deleted then an amino acid will be added or lost, but subsequent codons and amino acids will still be read correctly.
However, if any number of nucleotides other than 3 are added or removed, then the codons following the mutation will be out of "sync," in terms of the reading order.
Hence it is called a frame-shift mutation because it shift the reading frame when translating nucleic acids into proteins. Frame shifts will lead to the wrong amino acids being adding in the wrong order for the rest of the code after the mutation.
Answer: B) G2
Explanation: G1) first gap phase; the cell grows larger and organelles are copied
S) synthesis phase; the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus
G2) second gap phase; the cell grows more, makes proteins and organelles, and begins to reorganize its contents in preparation for mitosis
M) mitosis phase; the cell divides its previously-copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new, identical daughter cells.
So DNA replicates in S phase but then it moves to G2
Water molecules are polar with the oxygen side being, slightly negative and the hydrogen side being slightly positive.
