Frameshift mutation are the result of what occurrence?​

Biology
1 answer:
Alisiya [41]2 years ago
7 0

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.

Plants use photosynthesis to take in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide as reactants and produce glucose for energy and oxygen. The reactants for photosynthesis are light energy, water, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll , while the products are glucose (sugar), oxygen and water.

I hope this helps =)

How would you explain the “density of the elephant population” to someone?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The most effective experimental approach to assess the effects of elephant impact on vegetation is to assess plant responses under differences in elephant density. It is important that other factors, such as soils or habitat structure are held constant so that the only factor which varies is elephant density.
