When heterozygous advantage exists, how would you describe the fitness of the heterozygous genotype?

Biology

Arisa [49]2 years ago

When heterozygous advantage exists, the fitness of the heterozygous genotype has higher fitness than either homozygote.

<h3>What are genotypes and phenotypes ?</h3>

A person's genotype is made up of all the alleles they have for a certain gene. The sum of a person's attributes or observable characteristics is their phenotype. The phenotype of an organism is only impacted by its genotype, which is directly inherited from its parents.

<h3>Types of genotype :</h3>

There are three different genotype types: homozygous dominant (PP), homozygous recessive (PP), and heterozygous (Pp). The traits are the same in homozygous dominant and heterozygous genotypes.

<h3>Heterozygous</h3>

The existence of two unique alleles at a specific gene locus. One normal allele, one mutant allele, or two separate mutant alleles may be present in a heterozygous genotype.

<h3>Homozygous </h3>

Contrary to a heterozygous genotype, a homozygous genotype exists. You inherited two copies of the same allele if you have a gene called homozygosity. In other words, both of your biological parents contributed the same variations.

Describe how Darwin theory of evolution by natural selection can explain the spread of antibiotics resistant microorganisms like
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection can explain how antibiotics are becoming defective because the bacteria that is trying to be fought off might have had a mutation making it more likely to survive. Once that surviving bacteria makes offspring most of the first generation will die from the antibiotic but soon all of their offspring will produce a resistance to that antibiotic.

Why does a deletion mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
BARSIC [14]
Answer: B

WHY?
Deletion mutation may cause a shift of base sequence, causing the reading frames for base sequence to change during translation. This may affect the type of amino acid it the original base sequence codes for, resulting in a change in amino acid sequence in the polypeptide translated. Therefore, affecting the whole protein itself. There may be wrong amino acids that prevents vital bonds like disulfide bridges to form, resulting in a huge change in 3 dimensional conformation of the protein. A point mutation may result in a gene sequence being edited. However, only the target sequence is being mutated. The rest of the gene sequences are left untouched. Therefore, the impact is localised. This ensures that even though a few wrong amino acids may be in the polyleptide, most of the bonds that are crucial for the correct 3 dimensional conformation is still present, therefore, lesser defects will be resulted due to point mutation as compared to deletion mutation.
