Clergy Tax Factor 5 - Withholding Taxes. A church can withhold income tax (at the minister requests) , but not Social Security and Medicare tax. Let me repeat that...a church CANNOT withhold FICA from a qualifying minister's compensation. Note: Social security and Medicare taxes are collected under two systems.
Researchers have identified several of the various genes responsible for hereditary deafness or hearing loss, most notably the GJB2 gene mutation. As one of the most common genetic causes of hearing loss, GJB2-related hearing loss is considered a recessive genetic disorder because the mutations only cause deafness in individuals who inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. A person with one mutated copy and one normal copy is a carrier but is not deaf.
Silent mutations - are caused by a point mutation & have no effect of the function because they code for the same amino acid. Missense mutations - are caused by a point mutation & result in a different amino acid to be placed in the protein. Nonsense mutations - a caused by a point mutation & cause a stop where there should not be one. Frameshift mutations - are caused by an insertion or deletion of a nucleotide causing the reading frame to shift & the protein to be too long or too short.
