Deletions could be c-t-g-g-a-t or a-c-t-a-t or many other things missing a base or sequence of bases. However, in a simple deletion mutation the order of the nucleotides does not change.

How many genes are shown on the section of normal DNA?

All of the genes are 'shown', but the B-strands of haemoglobin differ by one amino acid at position 6 (usually gutamic acid is espressed here, but in sickle cell anaemia valine is present instead)


The embryo's development as seen here represents which processes in the development of any multicellular organism?

The embryo's development represents processes such as cell division, cell differentiation, and tissue morphogenesis, which are fundamental for creating the various cell types and structures necessary for an organism to develop properly.


What mutations would be considered frameshift mutations?

In mature mRNA, there is a start codon (AUG) that instructs ribosome to begin translation. Thereafter, every 3 bases are read as a "code word" calling for a particular amino acid to enlogate the polypeptide chain or to STOP and release the polypeptide. If 1 or 2 nucleotides are deleted or inserted into this sequence, it causes the reading frame to shift. This usually results in misreading of the sequence here is an example: AUG - AGC - ACC - TAA - GGG - etc. (if we delete the first C we get....) AUG - AGA - CCT - AAG - GG ( this is obviously not going to code for the same amino acid sequence)


What is the name of the section of the chromosome that carries the information that specifies a particular characteristic of an organism?

The section of the chromosome that carries the information for a specific characteristic is called a gene. Genes are the basic unit of heredity and encode the instructions for producing proteins that determine traits in an organism.


What represents all of the living things on earth?

The biosphere represents all living things on Earth, encompassing all ecosystems where life exists. It includes a vast diversity of organisms, from bacteria to plants to animals, interacting and coexisting in a delicate balance. The biosphere plays a crucial role in maintaining the planet's conditions suitable for life as we know it.
