Answer: a). AA
Explanation: Every trait is controlled by at least a pair of gene. Genes have different forms known as alleles. Alleles can be dominant or recessive. A dominant allele expresses itself in the presence of a recessive allele and masks the effect of a recessive allele. A recessive allele cannot express itself in the presence of a dominant allele and it's effect is masked by a dominant allele. Dominant alleles are usually written in upper cases such as A, T, while recessive alleles are usually written in lower cases such as a, t. The two alleles that determines a trait is called a genotype. A genotype can be homozygous if the two alleles are identical such as in AA or aa
and can be heterozygous if the two alleles are not identical such as in Aa, Tt.
The answer is b. The second letter (if there is one) is always written as lowercase
Options for the question are not given. They are as follows:
a. arg or lys
b. ala
c. thr
d. leu or ser
e. Only termination codons
Answer:
d. leu or ser
Explanation:
Four codons code for proline amino acid. These are CCT, CCC, CCA, and CCG. Hydroxylamine causes C to change into T or G to change into A.
If first position is changed in each codon:
CCT = TCT (UCU)
CCC = TCC (UCC)
CCA = TCA (UCA)
CCG = TCG (UCG)
These codons produce Serine amino acid.
If second position is changed in each codon:
CCT = CTT (CUU)
CCC = CTC (CUC)
CCA = CTA (CUA)
CCG = CTG (CUG)
These codons produce Leucine amino acid.
Hence, out of the given options, option d. leu or ser is correct.
