Explain why most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive

Biology
1 answer:
Dominik [7]3 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.

Igoryamba

Giraffes and Elephants: Giraffes have adapted a long neck over time letting them eat and access food allowing them to survive. If a dry season was unusually long they would succeed fine because they are able to eat and drink from the trees. Elephants have survived with similar tactics of eating higher up, they have rough skin allowing them to outlast the heat, and only need water after long periods of time.
