Which type of mutation results when bases are added to a gene? a. missense b. nondisjunction c. frameshift d. silent

The correct answer would be option C.

The frameshift mutation is a type of mutation in which the reading frame of the codons is changed.

Consequently, the sequence of amino acids also gets changed due to which altered or non-functional protein is synthesized.

It is caused by either by addition or deletion of base pair(s) in the DNA sequence of a gene.

For example, reading frame of ABCDEFGHUJKL would be ABC DEF GHI JKL.

Reading frame after addition of Z at fourth position, that is, ABCZDEFGHIJKL, would be ABC ZDE FGH IJK L.

yay can i have brainliest

above statement is not a true statement about the open ocean because the open ocean has low levels of nutrients. most of the photosynthetic activity on earth occurs in the open ocean within the photic zone. organisms in the deep ocean are exposed to frigid temperatures and total darkness but it does not begin at the low-tide mark.
