Explain why most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive

Biology
1 answer:
Dominik [7]2 years ago
6 0
There are two main reasons. First, there are introns and exons existed in eukaryotes. Introns do not contain the genetic information but are in large amount in chromosome. So, if the mutation occurs in the introns, it will be recessive. Second, one amino acid will corresponding to several base sequences. For example, UUU and UUC all represent Phe. This is called degeneracy. So if the mutation did not change the amino acid, it is also recessive.

Which of the following are true of epigenetic changes?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

all of the above

Explanation:

Epigenetic alterations are modifications of the genome transmitted during cell division, which do not involve changes in the DNA sequence, are hereditary and are capable of modifying gene expression. In addition, they are temporary modifications that allow DNA to be transcribed and have the ability to move histones to open or close a chromosomal region. There are three main mechanisms of epigenetic alterations: DNA methylation, histone modifications and genomic imprinting.

Use the information below to answer the following question(s). In a survey, the rate of heavy smokers was reported as 270 per 10
Eddi Din [679]

The probability that neither of them is a heavy smoker is 0.53 or 53%

<h3>What is genetic probability?</h3>

Probability serves to mathematically estimate the possibility of events that happen by chance, that is, as a matter of luck.

In this case:

Probability that selected one is heavy smoker is:

p=270/1000=0.27

Number of individuals selected  is 2 and We know that:

P(X=x)=nc_x(1-p)^{n-x}(p)^x

We need to prove that X=0:

P(X=0)=nc_0(1-0.27)^{2-0}(0.27)^0

P=0.5329
