.answer:

petit arm

explanation:

all human chromosomes have 2 arms, the p (short) arm and the q (long) arm. they are separated from each other only by a primary constriction, the centromere, the point at which the chromosome is attached to the spindle during cell division.

the symbol "p" stands for "petit", small in French, while "q" was chosen merely because it was the next letter in the alphabet.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele "T" gives the normal phenotype while the recessive allele "t" imparts the disease and is lethal in homozygous condition. The genotype of each of the two carrier parents would be "Tt". A cross between Tt and Tt would give the progeny in the following genotype ratio=

Tt x Tt= 1/4 TT: 1/2 Tt: 1/4 tt

Therefore, 1/2 or 50% progeny would be the carrier for the Tay-Sachs disease.

Over time what happens to a mutation that is harmful to a species?
Llana [10]

Answer:

Some mutations occur during a person’s lifetime in only some of the body’s cells and are not hereditary, so natural selection cannot play a role. Also, many genetic changes have no impact on the function of a gene or protein and are not helpful or harmful

Explanation:

In addition, the environment in which a population of organisms lives is integral to the selection of traits. Some differences introduced by mutations may help an organism survive in one setting but not in another—for example, resistance to a certain bacteria is only advantageous if that bacteria is found in a particular location and harms those who live there.
