Keep on reading to learn what makes a pony a pony and a horse a horse (of course, of course). The simplest answer to the question at hand is that a pony is a small horse. They are both members of the same species and have the same scientific name (Equus ferus caballus). However, there are official ways of deciding who is a horse and who is a pony. The number one distinguishing factor between horses and ponies is height.
What is the difference between Point and Frameshift Mutation. A point mutation is a change in a base pair, while a frameshift mutation is a base insertion or base deletion. Point mutations are transitions or transversions, frameshift mutations are not. A single point mutation only affects one amino acid, while a single frameshift mutation affects the entire subsequent amino acids.
A frameshift mutation will in general cause the reading of the codons after the mutation to code for different amino acids. The frameshift mutation will also alter the first stop codon (UAA, UGA or UAG) encountered in the sequence.The polypeptide being created could be abnormally short or abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional. frameshift mutation will in general cause the reading of the codons after the mutation to code for different amino acids. The frameshift mutation will also alter the first stop codon (UAA, UGA or UAG) encountered in the sequence.
