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.

According to the endosymbiosis theory, how many membranes should a mitochondrion have
slamgirl [31]
The endosymbiotic theory is described that the the primitive eukaryotic cell has ingested a prokaryote to become the mitochondria and the chloroplast. The mitochondria is actually a primitive prokaryote capable of performing cellular respiration. According to this theory, the mitochondria (coming from a primitive prokaryote) must have two membranes, an inner membrane and an outer membrane. 

<em>Chloroplasts also have two cell membranes. </em>

What would the pendulum need chemical energy??
DanielleElmas [232]
<span>It contains cartilage, mucous membrane, bone, blood vessels, and a sensory organ called the olfactory bulb. So your nose is definitively an organ. An organ system is a bunch of organs, like your heart, liver, lungs, etc. working together to perform a specific task. So your respiratory system contains your nose, trachea, and lungs, all different organs working for the same cause.

Why is heaven closer than we think?
dexar [7]

Answer:

The Church is a type of heaven

Explanation:

Church is much more than a good sermon, a few good songs, and good company. It is, or it is supposed to be, a cooperation between heaven and earth, a living synergy. What saddens me though is that we worship with verve, we pour everything into it, and yet too often the person at the end of the row remains a stranger to us. I’m not sure you can have one without the other. If we do not surrender ourselves completely, and not just to the familiar but to the unloved, fallen, and damaged life around us, our worship is empty, sapless, and misdirected. There is room for improvement in all of us. Myself included.
