you have a dna sequence that codes for a protein and is 90 nucleotides long a frameshift mutation occurs at the 31st base how many amino acids will be correct in this protein

Respuesta :

Answer:

only 30 amino acids will be correct in the protein

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation will affect the amino acid that is mutated plus all the other amino acids after the mutation. This is because in a frameshift mutation a base pair or base pairs are either inserted or deleted. The whole sequence will shift causing the codon sequences to be coded for the wrong protein.
