Explain why most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive

1 answer:

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.

Answer:

The difference between Prokaryotic cell and Eukaryotic cell are;

$\begin{array}{lll}&\underline {\text {Prokaryotic}}& \underline {\text {Eukaryotic}}\\ \\ \text {Nuclear \ membrane \ and \ nucleus} & \text {No \ true \ nucleus \ or} & \text {Has \ a \ true \ nucleus} \\& \text {nuclear \ membrane} & \text {nucleoli \ and \ nuclear \ membrane}\\\\ \text {Membrane \ bound \ cell \ organelle} & \text {None &Present} \\\\ \text {Chromosome \ number \ and \ shape} & \text {One} & \text {Several, more \ than \ one} \end{array}$

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells

The plasma membranes surround prokaryotic cells, however, within their cytoplasm, there are no organelles bound to the membrane and there is no nucleus in the prokaryotic cell which differentiates it from the eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells also have plasma membranes, ribosomes and cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells also have membrane-bound nucleus, membrane bound organelles, such as chloroplast, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus which together differentiates it from a prokaryotic cell
