The type of mutation that would cause the most dramatic change in the polypeptide or protein product of a certain gene is the base-pair deletion. A deletion is a mutation in which the part or the base is lost during the process of replication. Any number of nucleotides can be deleted from a single base to an entire piece of chromosome.
The west Nile Virus is pathogen which caused the West Nile fever and encephalitis. The pathogen was introduced in 1999 in the Western Hemisphere and infected a major population in new york. It then expanded to 12 states and district of columbia. The major carrier of the pathogen was Avian and Mosquitoes species. In between 1999 to 2008, nearly 2500000 people were infected and nearly 1500 people died. Also there were thousands of cases of encephalitis or meningitis.
Strongest evidence points towards shared taxon
The compliments bases for DNA are TAGGTC
Whereas the complimentary bases for RNA are UAGGUC
Answer:
a) HT
Explanation:
This question shows an animal with two distinct unlinked genes i.e. on different chromosomes. One gene codes for head shape and the other for tail length. The gene for head shape possess alleles H and h, while gene for tail length possess alleles T and t.
According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes independently of the alleles of another gene. This occurs in such a way that each gamete will contain only one allele from a gene.
Based on this principle, an animal with genotype HhTt will undergo meiosis and randomly produce gametes with the following allelic combinations: HT, Ht, hT, and ht. As seen in the gametes, only one allele of a gene occured in a gamete at a time.
Therefore, HT is the genotype possible in a gamete of parent: HhTt.
