What occurs during frameshift mutation?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

C) An extra chromosome is added, causing mismatching of the chromosome pairs.

Explanation:

Mutation is any change, whether big or small, that occurs in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutation can be of different types depending on how it occurs.

According to the question, frameshift mutation is a mutation that causes the normal reading frame of the nucleotide sequence to be altered. It is caused when an extra chromosome is added (insertion) or when one chromosome is removed (deletion). In either way, there will be a mismatch or alteration in the chromosome pair, hence affecting the reading of the nucleotide sequence.

In frameshift mutation, the insertion or deletion causes the

normal CODONS (triplet nucleotide) to be missing or incomplete, hence, disrupts the manner at which the reading takes place (reading frame). Note, frameshift mutation only occurs as a result of insertion or deletion of chromosomes/bases that are not multiples of three that can maintain the normal reading pattern/frame.

According to what you have learned about the circulatory and respiratory systems, explain how and why your heart changed its rat
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Your heart changes its rate depending on the activity, so that it can carry blood to your muscles, and therefore it needs to beat stronger if you are performing some exercise, or not so strong if you are sleeping, for example.

Explanation:

Your heart is continuously beating to keep blood circulating throughout your body.

So, here it is why your heart changes its rate: Its rate changes depending on your activity level; it is lower while you are asleep and at rest and higher while you exercise to supply your muscles with enough freshly oxygenated blood to keep the functioning at a high level.

And how: depending on your activity level, your heart has to pump enough blood to your muscles. Blood carries needed oxygen and other nutrients. Muscles need more blood sugar than any other tissue especially when working hard. To supply your muscles with oxygen your heart needs to beat faster, and this builds up your heart muscles.

The abnormal development or growth of the cells that make up the inner lining of the cervix is known as cervical ___________. hy
Hunter-Best [27]
The correct answer would be the second option. The abnormal development or growth of the cells that make up the inner lining of the cervix is known as cervical dysplasia. It is a pre-cancerous condition that involves an abnormal growth of cells in the lining of the endocervical canal which is the opening between the vagina and the uterus. A very common cause of developing this is the virus HPV or the human papillomavirus. It can be transmitted sexually and has many strains. This condition can still be cured when it is detected early. Without treating it, cervical dysplasia would develop to cancer.<span />

1. Explain the five steps of the scientific method.
RideAnS [48]
1. Scientific method is the techniques that scientists used to carry out investigation process. It is made up of five steps, which are:
a. Observation: this is the stage in which a scientist make an observation to which he did not have an explanation.
b. Formation of a research question:  in accordance to observation made, the scientist form a question on which his experiment will be based
c. Formation of hypothesis: at this stage the scientist offers a proposed explanation for the observation which he had made and state what he expects at the end of the experiment.
d. Conduction of the experiment: at this stage the scientist carry out the experiment using appropriate means.
e. Analysis of data and drawing of conclusion: this is last stage of the investigation, at this stage, the scientist analysis the results he obtained and draw a conclusion based on the results of the data.

2. Scientists used scientific method to carry out scientific investigations because the method minimize the influence of bias and prejudice in the experiments that they carry out. The method provides an objective, standardized approach to scientific investigation; this result in reproducible results which can be achieved by other scientists in every parts of the world. The method also helps to minimize errors during investigation.
