Which of the following correctly describes the result of genetic mutations when they occur in a body cell?

1 answer:

<span>Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein</span>

<span>For more accurate answer, you can put your options...</span>

An obligate anaerobe bacterium was grown in two test tubes filled with media rich in glucose. One tube was sealed to produce ana

liubo4ka [24]

The answer is A.

Glucose in the sealed tube will be used up by the obligate anaerobe bacterium. This is because it is the only environment that satisfies the condition of having no air or oxygen for the organism to survive. The unsealed tube will obviously have air entering and exiting inside and therefore will not be a suitable environment for the organism. The control tube will have no change in color since it is uninoculated or in other words, no organism was put inside of it.

The presence of over 700 genes involved in height determination is an example of (a) ______________.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

The presence of over 700 genes involved in height determination is an example of a polygenic trait.

<h3>What is a polygenic trait?</h3>

A polygenic trait refers to a trait that is determined by multiple genes rather than by only one gene. This is opposite to a monogenic trait that is determined by only one gene.

<h3>What are some examples of polygenic traits?</h3>

In humans, some examples of traits that are determined by multiple genes are:

Height
Hair color
Skin color

Based on this, heigh is a polygenic trait.

Describe the stages of cellular development prior to tissue stages.

larisa [96]

Following fertilization, the single-celled zygote undergoes cleavage, where it is then divided into numerous tiny cells. After 3 to 4 days of fertilization, the cleavage produces a 16 celled embryonic stage known as morula, which is contained within the zona pellucida.

After about 4-5 days of fertilization, cleavage produces a sphere mass of cells known as blastomeres, which is covered by a layer known as trophoblast and has a fluid-filled cavity in the center, known as blastocoel. The blastomeres then migrate inward, changing position and undergoing rearrangements. This is known as gastrulation.

Gastrulation then causes the development of three germ layers: ectoderma, endoderma, and mesoderma. The interaction of cells and the rearrangement of tissues and organs occurs only after the formation of germ layers.

What is a pH of something that is considered neutral?

olasank [31]

Answer: Water. The pH level is 7.

Explanation: The scale has values ranging from zero (the most acidic) to 14 (the most basic). As you can see from the pH scale above, pure water has a pH value of 7. This value is considered neutral—neither acidic or basic.
