Explanation:Heterozygous refers to when you inherited a particular form of gene from each parent. Heterozygous occurs when two allele of a specific gene locus are different. Heterozygous

Answer: Mary's parents' genotype are Aa and AA.

Explanation: Suppose the recessive blood disorder has a genotype of aa.

Mary's husband's genotype, as he has the trait, is aa. Both of their children also have it, so they are aa as well. To have a child with this genotype, Mary must have been a carrier, so her genotype is Aa.

Now, for Mary to be a carrier and since none of her siblings has the disorder,  one of her parents must be heterozygous for the trait (Aa), while the other is homozygous for the trait (Aa).

In other words, Mary's parents' genotypes are Aa and AA.

explain how a change in the sequence of nucleotide in a strand of DNA might cause a protein to malfunction
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: Proteins are made using DNA as a template. The DNA is turned into RNA, and the RNA is then turned into DNA. 

A change in these nucleotides could end up making some part of the protein different. A single nucleotide change could be silent (no change in the protein) or could change a single amino acid (amino acids are the building blocks of proteins). If that was an important amino acid, the protein might not function at all! A silent change can occur because the same set of nucleotides sometimes makes the same final amino acid (for example, reading "gcc" "gca" "gcg" or "gct" nucleotides all mean "alanine" amino acid). 

The deletion of a single nucleotide, or the addition of one, can change the entire sequence of amino acids that come after it! Nucleotides are read in sets of three, so this throws off how the DNA is read. If would be like turning "The brown fox jumps over the dog" into "The gbrow nfo xjump sove rth edo g". Completely different! All of the words are thrown off.
