How does an insertion sequence cause a mutation?

In the DNA, the sequence of nucleotides determines how proteins are built, with each segment of three nucleotides encoding a single amino acid. When one nucleotide is inserted into the sequence, the whole sequence shifts, and all the triples are changed completely, which can cause detrimental mutations.


What happens if there's a mutation in your body cells?

The sequence of the nitrogenous bases changes (and sometimes some bases are added to the sequence or completely removed).


Why do denatured enzymes become disfunctional?

An enzyme's ability to function comes from its shape, which is a result of the folding of the amino acid chain that it's made of. Enzymes act on their substrates (just a fancy word for whatever molecule or chemical or anything that an enzyme acts on) on a certain part of the enzyme called the active site. This can be modeled by an example such as a lock and a key. The lock would be the enzyme, and the key the substrate. It's a very specific fit. When an enzyme becomes denatured, it starts to unfold, which changes its shape. Changing the shape of the active site, means that the substrate no longer fits, just as the key would no longer fit if you heated the lock until it melted. Since the substrate can no longer bind to the enzyme's active site, the enzyme is no longer effective.


How does glucose react with glucose oxidase?

Since you know what Glucose Oxidase is I'm assuming you know what enzymes are. If not, an enzyme is a protein that catalyzes chemical reactions. Glucose oxidase is the enzyme built specifically for Glucose. Glucose Oxidase binds to the six-carbon sugar Glucose and aids the organism in breaking it down into metabolites.


How can a mutation in a DNA base sequence cause a change in a proteins?

dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.

How was the computer built?

Computers are built the same way any other electronic device is built, at the time it was built. As the methods of building electronic devices changed over time, the methods of building computers changed too.


What seems to determine the magnitude of a mutation's effect?

The location of the mutation within the genome, the type of mutation (e.g., missense, frameshift), and its effect on gene function or protein structure typically determine the magnitude of a mutation's effect. Additionally, the degree to which the mutation disrupts important cellular processes or regulatory mechanisms can also influence its impact.


What is the definition of an enzyme inhibitor?

An enzyme inhibitor are compounds that are built to block enzymes. These inhibitors blocks enzymes in such a way that the enzymes are prevented on doing whatever task it's meant to do.
