Polydactyly is an inherited trait that results in extra fingers or toes. In the United States 0.1% of the population exhibits po

lydactyly. People with polydactyly have the genotype Pp, where P represents the allele that causes polydactyly and p represents the normal allele of this gene. Which of the following is true?
a. There is not enough information to answer this question.
b. The two alleles, P and p are at approximately equal frequencies in the US population.
c. The P allele is less frequent in the US than the p allele.
d. The P allele is more frequent in the US than the p allele.

Answer:

c. The P allele is less frequent in the US than the p allele.

Explanation:

If people with the heterozygous genotype "Pp" present polydactyly, only people with the genotype "pp" will not present polydactyly. Since 99.9% of the population do not exhibit polydactyly, then it can be concluded that the "p" allele is much more frequent in the US than the "P" allele.

Therefore, the answer is:

c. The P allele is less frequent in the US than the p allele.

Based on the information in the table, which of the following changes is least likely to produce a phenotypic
yaroslaw [1]

GAU to GAC​ is least likely to change phenotype of an organism.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Phenotype of an organism is defined as the physical characteristics of an organism. This phenotype is dependent on the genotype of the organisms. This means the phenotypic characters are actually the expressions of the genes of the organisms. Now the genes are expressed in form of codons that are the three nitrogen base sequences. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid which in turn polymerises to from the protein which actually forms the phenotype of the organism.

Now there are 20 amino acids and 64 codons. Thus there are more than 1 codons for a single amino acid. So, if a codon is replaced by another codon which codes for same amino acid, then the phenotype is least likely to be affected.

Both the GAU and  GAC​ codes for aspartic acid. So the phenotype won't be affected much by this mutation
