Answer: A, Natural selection favors G6PD deficiency as compared to malaria.
Explanation:
We can eliminate B. This is because genetic drifts are changes in genes due to chance. The changes in the genes of the African Americans were not due to chance because there was a cause: malaria.
We can also eliminate C. This is because somatic mutations are mutations that can occur in every cell except the germ cells (sperm, egg), therefore meaning that the mutations that occur cannot be passed onto the offspring.
Answer:
Because they need to process more glucose and produce for ATP
Explanation:
An example is your fat cells because they store lots of energy
Its called ptyalin the juice that changes some starches to sugar
My 2 cents below, I tried to think through the other ones:
A. Yes, because an amino acid change has occurred.
(A gene mutation occurred, not an amino acid change)
B. Yes, because all mutations change the resulting protein.
(Sounds correct. Gene -> mRNA -> protein)
C. No, because the amino acid sequence has not been changed.
(The gene mutation means the amino acid sequence <em>has</em> changed)
D. No, because mutations in the DNA do not affect the mRNA sequence.
(They do so)
A change that occurs in muscles at the anaerobic threshold is that the body begins to convert to fermentation instead of the Krebs Cycle.
