A frame shift mutation is the shift of the genetics of an object.
This type of mutation os caused by the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three.
Answer choices:
- A frame shift mutation in the X chromosome of a cheek cell
- A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
- A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
- A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell
Answers:
A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
Explanation:
Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.
Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.
Answer:
The correct answer is C) gene flow
Explanation:
The biological species concept defines what is a species. It says that a species is a group of individuals in a population that interbreed with each other. So there should be gene flow between the members of the population to come under species.
Appearance does not define that two individual are of same species because even different species can look same for example Western meadowlarks and eastern meadowlarks looks identical to each other but they do not interbreed so there is no gene flow between them so they are not same species.
Therefore the primary criteria for determining species boundaries is gene flow.
Answer:
Essentially there is not an answer. There are two different definitions.
A holoenzyme is an enzyme that needs to be together with a cofactor(s), required for activity.
In some cases, enzymes constituted by several subunits (like DNA polymerase 3) are call holoenzyme as well, because it will only perform correctly when all its subunits are present.
