Biology

miv72 [106K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

"A frameshift mutation is a type of mutation involving the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide in which the number of deleted base pairs is not divisible by three. "Divisible by three" is important because the cell reads a gene in groups of three bases. Each group of three bases corresponds to one of 20 different amino acids used to build a protein. If a mutation disrupts this reading frame, then the entire DNA sequence following the mutation will be read incorrectly."

What is the average atomic mass of a sample that has two isotopes, one with a mass of 21 amu at 62% abundance and another with a
motikmotik

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of first isotope = 21 amu

Abundance of first isotope = 62%

Mass of second isotope = 22 amu

Abundance of second isotope = 38%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass  = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (62×21)+(38×22) /100

Average atomic mass =  1302 +836 / 100

Average atomic mass = 2138 / 100

Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.
