Answer:
a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.
Explanation:
Transformation occurs when a competent bacteria cell takes up genetic material from the environment. Usually a donor cell donates its gene fragment which is then incorporated into the chromosome or plasmid of recipient bacterial cell.
Cotransformation occurs when two genes are taken up together by the recipient. The closer the genes lie to each other, more are the chances of them being taken up together. Contransformation frequency will be higher if two genes are close to each other. Here, cotransformation frequencies between three genes are given. Amongst them, the lowest frequency is 0.0064% which is present between gene b and c. Hence, gene b and c are the farthest apart.
Answer:
B. Nearly every amino acid translated after the error will create the wrong protein after the deletion of a base.
Explanation:
Generally, mutations occur in two ways: 1) a base replacement, where one base is replaced for another; 2) insertion or deletion, where a base is either incorrectly inserted or deleted from a codon.
When a nucleotide is wrongly inserted or deleted from a codon, the effects of this change can be extreme. An insertion or deletion can affect every codon in a particular genetic sequence. For example, given the code:
GAU GAC UCC GCU AGG. It is the codes for the amino acids aspartate, aspartate, serine, alanine, and arginine. If the A in the GAU were to be deleted, the code would become GUG ACU CCG UAG G. It won't produce any right amino acid.
So, if the code becomes changes, it won't produce any amino acid or will produce the wrong amnio acid.
<span>The question says, 'which component of a virus is lacking in a cell. The answer is capsid. virus capsid are protein shell of a virus, they envelope the virus and protect it from harm. Cells does not have capsid, they have rigid cell wall instead. The rigid cell wall protect the cell from harm and also give the cell shape.</span>
Answer:
1. 50% of the genome comes from each parent because it is crucial otherwise if the ratio changes, the zygote may not form and if formed the fetus may have some other kind of chromosome number related syndromes etc.
2. Sexual reproduction produces greater genetic variability than asexual methods. This is because of the process of crossing over during meiosis that exchange the segments of chromosome that is necessary for producing mutations and genetic variability.
3. 50% of chromosomes match with each parent because both of the parents contributed 23 chromosomes and exactly 50% of their genome.
4. The gametes must be produced by two different individuals cause that is the main purpose of sexual reproduction and give better survival like this to the forming next generation. Not to mention produces greater genetic variability among species.
5. Plants always produces both eggs because they are hermaphroditic in nature.
