Given the following gene sequence determin which of the choices would be a frameshift mutation ATCTAGGTACTA:

You did not enter the answer options, but a frameshift mutation causes the exclusion or addition of one of the bases of the codon, which makes the reading of the codons assume an incoherent sequence and impair the reading of the same.

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation occurs when there is the exclusion or addition of one of the bases that form a codon. As you know, codons are formed by 3 bases that are released for the formation of proteins. If there is inclusion when excluding one of these bases, the reading is incorrect, meaningless and inefficient.

As an example, we can use the sequence of bases that you exposed in the question above, ATCTAGGTACTA. The codons in this sequence would be formed as follows: ATC TAG GTA CTA. Now imagine that the first base of the first codon was excluded. The codons would be formed in an incoherent fashion (TCT AGG TAC TA) and would not allow a correct reading, the same would happen if a base was added to one of the codons.

is this a psat question, if so do not cheat try your best.

1. a host loses nutrients to a parasite

2. a parasite only benefits when the host is alive (cause if the host dies the parasite dies with it )

3. producers to consumers

4. the tapeworm is a parasite

5. they convert energy from the sun (photosynthesis)

6. sunflower-robin (i think im 80% sure)

7. producer

8. consumer

9. prey

10. fresh water snails ( cause the green algea is the producer and the snails are the primary consumers and the small fish consumer so is the big fish)
