Answer:
b. Even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.
Explanation:
There is redundancy in the genetic code. That means that different codons can code for the same amino acids, so some mutations do not change the amino acid sequence of the protein.
Here, the amino acid is unchanged with the mutation.
If the amino acid sequence of the protein is the same, then the protein is not changed, so there will be no change in the phenotype
Answer:
50% will have ears
Explanation:
To have ears you must have the trait nn since the ears trait is recessive, 2 of the four possible offspring are like this, so 50%
Answer:
The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"
Explanation:
The fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.
