Answer:

1. It could result in a loss of function of the protein product

2. It could result in a protein product with excessive activity

3. It could result in altered structure of the protein

Explanation:

Any changes that occur in the nucleotide sequence in the DNA of an organism is known as a mutation. Various forms of mutation can occur in the DNA sequence of an organism which could be as a result of insertion or deletion of a nucleotide in the DNA sequence.

Insertion of an extra nucleotide into a DNA strand within a gene could have any of the following effects on the protein protein;

1. It could result in a loss of function of the protein product of the gene whereby the protein can no longer carry out its normal functions

2. It could result in a protein product with excessive activity other the normal range at which it functions.

3. It could result in altered structure of the protein either in the primary, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structure

How can pesticide use be harmful to human agriculture?
bagirrra123 [75]

<span>Pesticide use is harmful to human agriculture because it contains an antifreezing chemical (present in transportation vehicles). When the chemical seeps into the leaves of the plant, it is distributed all over its body and remains there. The chemical may still be present there when we are going to the plant.</span>

The principal of Dominance states that
jeka94

Principle of Dominance was given by Sir Gregor Johann Mendel.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Principle of Dominance was given by Sir Gregor Johann Mendel as a conclusion of the monohybrid cross between the different characteristic pea plants. It says that in an organism which is heterozygous for a particular character, only the dominant trait is able to express as a phenotype, not the recessive one. In other words, the recessive allele is completely masked by the presence of the dominant allele. This leads to same phenotype of a homozygous dominant organism and a heterozygous organism.

To test the organism about its heterozygosity, the organism is led through a test cross where the organism is crossed with a recessive organism. If the F1 offsprings are all dominant, then the organism is homozygous dominant, and if the F1 offsprings are of half dominant and half recessive phenotype, then the organism is heterozygous.
