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.
Summary. In this lesson, we have learned that a nonsense mutation is a type of point mutation that introduces a premature stop codon into the coding region of a gene. Nonsense mutations lead to shortened, 'truncated' proteins that are often nonfunctional. To unlock this lesson you must be a Study.com Member.
