Mutated gene

A mistake by cellular machinery, or damage from an environmental agent such as radiation may produce a mutated gene which is a permanently altered segment of dna.  

A gene mutation is a perpetual change in the DNA sequence that forms a gene which makes the sequence different from what is present in most people. Gene mutations can be classified into; hereditary mutation (changes inherited from parents) and somatic mutation (changes caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun).

Match the following:Part A1. Transverse foramina present.2. No canals or foramen present. It articulates superiorly with the sac
Stels [109]

Answer:

1. Transverse foramina present: Cervical

2. No canals or foramen present. It articulates superiorly with the sacrum: Coccyx

3. Receive the most stress: Lumbar

4. Attach to ribs: Thoracic

5. Articulates with hip bones of the pelvis: Sacrum

Explanation:

The vertebral column is a <u>series of 33 bones called vertebrae</u> that play a key role in organ protection, movement of body, and overall support. The column has been divided into <u>5 different regions</u> with the number of bones.

<u><em>1. Cervical Vertebrate</em></u><u>:</u> These are the group of <u>seven vertebrae of the neck</u>, start immediately below the skull. Two cervical bones C1 and C2 are unique in function. They are responsible for the movement of the head.  They have <u>transverse foramina</u> which <u>gives passage to vertebral artery and vein</u>.

<em><u>2. Thoracic Vertebrae:</u></em> They are a group of twelve small bones that form the vertebral spine in the upper trunk. The function of the thoracic vertebrae is to articulate with ribs to produce the bony thorax.

<em><u>3. Lumbar Vertebrae: </u></em>This is the largest segment of the vertebral column that consists of 5 bones between the rib cage and pelvis. They <u>carry all of the upper body weight</u> providing flexibility and movement to the trunk region.  This is why it can <u>receive the most stress easily</u>.

<em><u>4. Sacrum Vertebrae: </u></em>There are 5 sacral vertebral fused bones. It <u>connects to the hip bones and play role in forming a strong pelvis</u>.

<em><u>5. coccyx Vertebrae:</u></em> These are a group of 4 fused bone. There is <u>no vertebral canal due to a lack of vertebral arches</u>. They <u>provide </u>an <u>attachment site for muscles</u> ligament and tendons. They also <u>play a role in stabilization and support</u> while sitting.

For this question, we will utilize a population of Martians that is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. The dominant Martian phenotyp
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

d.0.48

Explanation:

When a population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium the <u>genotypic </u>frequencies are:

freq (AA) = p²

freq (Aa) = 2pq

freq (aa) = q²

<em>p</em> is the frequency of the dominant <em>A</em> allele and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the recessive <em>a</em> allele.

In this population of 100 individuals, 84 martians have the dominant phenotype and 16 have the recessive phenotype.

Therefore:

q²=16/100

q² = 0.16

q=√0.16

q = 0.4

And p+q=1, so:

p = 1 - q

p = 1-0.4

p = 0.6

The frequency of heterozygotes is:

freq (Aa) = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6

freq (Aa) = 0.48
