Answer: The correct answer is-

b. a gene has undergone a change in the organisms DNA.

DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) contains instructions for protein synthesis in the form of codons ( a sequence of three nucleotides), which code for particular amino acid. DNA is converted to mRNA ( through transcription), which is then converted to proteins ( through translation).

As per the question, a mutation in an organism has lacked the ability to make ( incorporate) one amino acid.

This means that there is a change in the codon ( that is change in the gene) in a manner such that now the mutated codon will not code for any amino acid.

Thus, option b) is the right answer.

tall heterozygous pea plants were crossed and the resulting seeds grown. Out of 360 plants, 270 were tall and 90 dwarf. What des
lozanna [386]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. All 270 tall plants were heterozygous

B. All 270 tall plants were homzygous.

C. Only 90 plants were homzygous.

D. All dwarf plants were homzygous.

The answer is D.

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for height in pea plants. The allele for tallness (T) is dominant over that of dwarfness (t). This means that a dwarf plant can only be homzygous recessive (tt) while a tall plant can either be homzygous (TT) or heterozygous (Tt).

According to the question, two tall heterozygous pea plants were crossed i.e. Tt × Tt. Based on this cross, a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 is expected, which is in accordance with the 270 tall plants and 90 dwarf plants (360 total) that was obtained in the cross. Since dwarfism in pea plants is a recessive trait, this means that all the dwarf plants produced in this cross (90) were homzygous (tt).
