Why do you think scientists call a substitution a ""point mutation""? why do you think scientists call a deletion (or an insertion) a ""frameshift mutation""?

Mutation is the process of the sudden, heritable change in the genome of the organisms. Two main types of mutation are point mutation and the frameshift mutation.

The point mutation may be defined as the change in the single base pair only at a single point. The deletion is known as frameshift mutation because it changes the reading frame sequence of the gene. These mutation may beneficial or harmful for the organisms.

1. efficient use of space

2. elimination of groundwater contamination

3. energy generation

4. lower carbon footprint

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
