Answer:

1. The most appropriate answer would be an option C.  

A point mutation refers to the mutation or change that occurs at only one or a few nucleotides of the DNA.

Usually, a single nucleotide is substituted with the wrong nucleotide due to which only a single codon is affected.

However, it can cause frame shift mutation if insertion or deletion of nucleotide takes place.

In contrast, in chromosomal mutation long segment of DNA is involved. It may involve one or more genes. It mainly includes insertion, deletion, translocation, and inversion.

In addition, chromosomal mutation can cause change in the number or sets of chromosomes such as poliploidy, aneoploidy et cetera

2. The correct answer would be C. A point mutation

A point mutation refers to the mutation or change that occurs at only one or a few nucleotides of the DNA.

one gene in a population of snails determines whether they are poisonous. being poisonous (P) is dominant over not being poisono
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

F (pp) = 0.04

F (Pp) = 0.32

F (PP) = 0.64

Explanation:

Studying population genetics, we used the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium model. In the case of snails, the H-W principle predicts that the total number of cases in the population should follow the following equation: PP + 2.Pp + pp = 200.

If a population has 200 snails and 8 are affected by a recessive condition, we have 4% affected, or 0.04.

This means that 0.04 corresponds to p², and p corresponds to 0.2.

Therefore, P is equal to 0.8 because p + P = 1.

Knowing the allele frequencies, we go to the frequency of the genotypes.

F (pp) = p² = 0.04 = 8 snails

F (Pp) = 2.Pp = 0.32 = 64 snails

F (PP) = P² = 0.64 = 128 snails
