<u>Answer:</u> The number of neutrons an iodine element contain are 74.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the umber of protons or number of electrons. It is represented as Z.

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons.

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons. It is represented as A.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

In the given representation, atomic number is written on the top left corner and mass number is written below the symbol of the element.

Atomic number = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 127 = Number of neutrons + 53

Number of neutrons = 127 - 53 = 74

Hence, the number of neutrons an iodine element contain are 74.

Those mutated genes are most commonly recessive. Females have two X chromosomes so they can have a chromosome with the mutated gene and one with the healthy gene. The healthy gene is dominant so the disease won't manifest, and the woman is only a carrier. Males have only one X chromosome and an Y chromosome. If they have the mutated gene on the X chromosome they won't have another X chromosome with the healthy gene.

To summarize, men can't be carriers and they only need one copy of the mutated X-linked gene while women need two copies of the mutated gene.

If a mutation causes a permanent change in the DNA sequence, how is it that most mutations are “silent” mutations?

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

(look at the explanation below)

Explanation:

A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke. Mutations can occur during DNA replication if errors are made and not corrected in time.
