We call these frameshift mutations. Since the genetic code is read in threes (codons) any sort of shift will cause the code to be incorrect.

Here is an example of one sentence with words of only three letters:The big red pig ate the red rag. Each word will make one amino acid and the words make a sentence that makes sense. But a frameshift might make the sentence totally readable: The big res dpi gat eth ere dra g.

A frame shift occurs. The amino acid sequence of the resulting protein changes.

What will happen if the earth changes rotation and revolution?

It would depend on the degree and time frame of change and how that change was brought about. The rotation of the earth is very slowly changing. It is slowing down.


Is it true point mutations that involve the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide change the reading frame of the genetic message?

Yes. Nucleotides are read in triplet code (i.e. AAA, CCC) and each set of three nucleotides represents an amino acid. Therefore if you had a line of nucleotides, and you removed or added one in the line you would be changing how the code is read. Observe if you had ACGAGUGAU. It is read as ACG-AGU-GAU - which represents threonine-serine-aspartic acid. Now, if we remove the first A, the new code is CGAGUGAU to which the reading frame is - CGA-GUG-AU. This would even change the amino acids the code was describing. It is now - Argenine-Valine and an incomplete third code.

What does the process of acculturation involve?

The process of acculturation involves the changing of cultures after two or more cultures meet. An example would be in the United States when the European population met the Native American population. It can effect language, food, art and lifestyle.

When changing bike frame do all the other materials change also?

It's not really clear what you are asking about. But you can use the same components even if the material of the frame is different. Basically you can use the same parts in a steel frame as you would in an aluminum frame - assuming the physical fit is the same.

When a nucleotide is omitted from a newly made strand of DNA would it create a frame shift mutation?

yes. Because the 1 nucleotide is not evenly divided by 3, the reading frame would not be in the same place, resulting in a new translation for the remaining sequence.


Why do you keep metal frame of a roller away from the wall corners?

However, if you were to stop there you would get a "frame effect" because the rest of your wall is to be painted with a roller, which will yield a noticeably different texture.
