Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) glial cell</em>

Explanation:

The function of the glial cells is to cover the neurons and to provide insulation between them. They also supply the neurons with oxygen and nutrients. The glial cells are also involved in protecting the neurons from pathogens and removing the dead neurons. Hence, glial cells perform functions other than producing actions when a stimuli is detected.

Other options like option B, sensory neurons, helps to convert external stimuli into electrical impulses.

What results from the addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number except a multiple of 3?
eimsori [14]
Addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number besides 3 results in a "frame-shift mutation."
This is because every 3 nucleotides of DNA/mRNA exons codes for a single amino acid in the synthesis of a protein. This triplet codon theory means that if 3 nucleotides are added or deleted then an amino acid will be added or lost, but subsequent codons and amino acids will still be read correctly.
However, if any number of nucleotides other than 3 are added or removed, then the codons following the mutation will be out of "sync," in terms of the reading order.
Hence it is called a frame-shift mutation because it shift the reading frame when translating nucleic acids into proteins. Frame shifts will lead to the wrong amino acids being adding in the wrong order for the rest of the code after the mutation.
