The new mutation is not found in either the mother or the father. Most likely, this is a new somatic mutation that occurred in the child. Somatic mutation<span><span> is a genetic alteration acquired by a cell that can be passed to the progeny of the mutated cell in the course of cell division</span>.</span>

Several organisms have a homologous protein (inherited from a common ancestor) that is highly similar at the amino acid level. Y
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.

Explanation:

  • Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
  • A Gene is made up of a  Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
  • This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
  • The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
  • Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
  • The Genetic Code is a table which represents the  amino acid encoded by each codon.
  • However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
  • This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
  • In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
  • This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

Explanation:

Some of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back which gives information to the scientists that some heavy particles present in the center of the atom which bounce back the positive particles. so from this evidence the scientists says that atom is divisible and having subatomic particles such as proton, electron and neutron. Proton and neutron is present in the center whereas electron is revolving around the nucleus of an atom.
