Of the three types of point mutations the most harmful are insertions and deletions. They result in what is known as a frameshift mutation. When a nucleotide base is either inserted or deleted it disrupts the amino acids coded for from the site of the mutation on to the end of the gene.
Your body absorbs two types of nutrients: macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) are your bodyâs direct fuel or energy sources, whereas micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.) indirectly influence available energy by serving as catalysts to release the macros.
Vitamins and minerals, which are collectively referred to as micronutrients, play a vital role in a healthy diet. 1  While only required in small quantities, micronutrients allow the body to perform a wide range of physiological functions, including metabolism and disease prevention.
