Frameshift mutation are the result of what occurrence?​

Biology
1 answer:
Alisiya [41]3 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.

3) The dimensions of your living room are 13 ft. by 16 ft. How many square meters of carpet
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

19.32 m²

Explanation:

The area of a living room is the product of its length and breadth. The area is given by:

Area = length × breadth

1 meter = 3.28 feet. Hence:

Length = 16 ft

16 ft = 16\ ft*\frac{1\ m}{3.28\ ft} =4.88\ m

Breadth = 13 ft

13 ft = 13\ ft*\frac{1\ m}{3.28\ ft} =3.96\ m

Area = length × breadth = 4.88 m × 3.96 m = 19.32 m²

Hence 19.32 m² of carpet is needed for the living room

Most humans (and vertebrates, in general) are genetically "programmed" to produce a brown skin pigment known as melanin. Albinis
marin [14]

Most humans (and vertebrates, in general) are genetically "programmed" to produce a brown skin pigment known as melanin. Albinism--the inability to produce melanin—is inherited in humans as an autosomal recessive trait. An individual with genotype AA or Aa will have normally pigmented skin, whereas an individual with genotype aa will produce no melanin. The albino's skin is very pale white, and the (highly vascularized) irises of the eyes appear red because no melanin obscures the red reflectance of blood.

The frequencies aa (Parental genotype male) and Aa (Parental genotype female, predict the frequencies of all genotypes and phenotypes expected  to result from the cross of an albino male with a heterozygous female.
