Answer:

Mutation

Explanation:

A Mutation alters the genetic message carried by that gene as there are permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA or a DNA gene.

This can occur by base pairs substitution, deletion or insertion

A protein is 300 amino acids long. Which of the following could be the number of nucleotides in a bacterial gene that codes for
butalik [34]

Answer:

2) 100

Explanation:

  • Every 3 nucleotides in an mRNA specifies the addition of one amino acid in a protein.
  • Each three-letter "word" which is the combination of nucleotides is called a codon.
  • Therefore, amino acids are coded by a series of three-letter "words" - a 300 nucleotide mRNA will code for a 100 amino acid protein.

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.
