Answer:
The correct answer is: a.
Explanation:
- A Diploid organism possess two copies ( also called alleles) of each autosomal gene, of which one copy of the gene is obtained from one of its parents and the other copy from its other parent.
- During the process of replication, one of the alleles of the GTPase encoding gene undergoes a mis-sense mutation.
- A Mis-sense mutation can be defined as a non-synonymous mutation in which one of the nucleotide in the sequence of the gene gets altered such that it causes a change in the amino acid encoded by the codon (triplet nucleotide message encoding for a single amino acid) formed by the mutated nucleotide. A single amino acid change in the protein, if occurs in the functional site of the protein, can render a protein non-functional.
- Hence, the mis-sense mutation in one of the alleles encoding for the GTPase gene causes the resulting protein produced from the mutated allele to have drastically reduced function (1%).
- A heterozygous cell is one which has one copy of the normal allele and the other copy of the mutated allele of the GTPase encoding gene.
- As one copy of the normal GTPase allele is present in such an individual, it can produce the normal GTPase protein that can assist in the process of cell growth and division.
- Hence, the phenotype(expressed character) of the heterozygous cell will not be affected due to the mutation and it will be able to grow and divide normally.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
If the earth was tilted, there would be small changes in temperature, but there will be no seasons. The Earth's axis is now inclined at around 24 degrees. This is the main reason for the changing of the seasons. The Northern Hemisphere is in the warm season when the Earth is slanted toward the sun, and the Northern Hemisphere is in the cold season when the Earth is slanted away from the sun. The cycle repeats itself every year because the Earth rotates around the sun at a known and generally constant rate. The sun is higher in the sky during the warm season, making it warmer, and lower in the sky during the cool season, making it colder.
