How does a change in the sequence of nucleotides cause a protein to malfunction? Please explain.

Biology
1 answer:
levacccp [35]4 years ago
6 0

A nucleic acid sequence is a succession of letters that indicate the order of nucleotide forming alleles within a DNA. The sequence of nucleotide tells what protein is made of. So a single change in the nucleotide makes a change in the protein and causes a malfunction.

A change in these nucleotide can end up making some part of the protein different. A single nucleotide change can change a single amino acid (amino acids are the building blocks of proteins) and the amino acid stops working at all.

The purple kernel is dominant over the yellow kernel and hence it has the genotype of homozygous dominant PP.

<h3>What is Genotype?</h3>

Genotype may be defined as the ultimate combination of alleles of genes that are selected for specific studies.

If it has some offspring with purple kernels and some with yellow, the genotypes of the two parents are heterozygous dominant for the purple kernel, i.e. Pp and Pp.

And when these two parents are crossed with each other, the genotypes are PP, Pp, Pp, and pp. While the genotypic ratio is 1:2:1 (PP: Pp: pp), but the phenotypic ratio is 3:1 (Purple: Yellow).

Therefore, it is well described above.
