How many amino acids are affected by frameshift mutation?

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Hope this helps.</span>

A tree grows about one-foot each year. you carve your initials into the trunk of a tree that is 15 feet tall. your initials are

hjlf

The initials will still be 4 feet above the ground.

Trees do not grow from the bottom up. At the branch tips there is meristem tissue, so called the apical meristem. Trees grow in height from these apical meristems, so trees grow from the top and the initials on the bottom of the tree will stay at the same height above the ground.
