How many amino acids are affected by frameshift mutation?

1 answer:

A reading frame consists of groups of 3 bases that each code for one amino acid<span>. A frameshift mutation shifts the grouping of these bases and changes the code for amino acids. The resulting protein is usually nonfunctional. Insertions, deletions, and duplications can all be frameshift mutations.

What does ‘efficiency’ mean in terms of energy converters?

kkurt [141]

In terms of energy converters, efficiency most commonly refers to how much power was lost in the conversion from steam to heat, or from outlet to shone charger. Some systems 'leak' energy, meaning more energy is going out one way than going in the other. The energy source transfers more power than the energy recipient receives. The more efficient the converter, the less power is lost.
