Biology

sukhopar [10]3 years ago
7 0
It means you have the genetics for the trait but you do not express the trait. Someone who is a carrier could not have a disease, but have offspring that does have that disease. This is because of alleles, which can be upper or lower case letters, upper being dominant traits and lower being recessive. Many genetic diseases are recessive so if a person has the genotype Rr they will carry the disease but if they have rr they will have the disease. If I were you id research how punette squares work

TACATCCATCAGTTACGC A guanine replaced the 1st Thymine in the original DNA strand above, how many amino acids would be changed as
Julli [10]

Answer:

One amino acid

Explanation:

This question is describing the occurrence of the process of mutation, which is the alteration in the genetic sequence of a gene. In this question, a DNA sequence was given as follows: TAC-ATC-CAT-CAG-TTA-CGC. However, a SUBSTITUTION MUTATION took place in such a way that the thymine base was replaced by a guanine base to have mutated sequence: GAC-ATC-CAT-CAG-TTA-CGC.

Since the mutation is a kind of substitution mutation, only the codon affected by that mutation will change. This DNA sequence will be transcribed into a mRNA sequence. The mRNA will be read codon by codon (a group of hree nucleotides) to produce amino acid. Since one codon will be involved, one amino acid will be affected.
