Answer:

<em>The principle of common descent states that all organisms in the world exist because of a common ancestor which gave rise to all the life seen on Earth. The organisms which are more closer to one another might have a common ancestor in the near past as compared to other organisms. The organisms which share distant common ancestors have less common characteristics. This principle has led us to form the basis for the formation of evolutionary biology. </em>

The wild-type form of a gene encodes a protein of length 100 amino acids. A mutant allele has a UAA (instead of the wild-type, C
Orlov [11]

Answer:

48 amino acids

Explanation:

The wild type gene codes for a protein with 100 amino acids. One amino acid is encoded by one triplet code of the gene. This means that the wild type gene has a total 100 triplets or 300 nucleotides to code for a protein of 100 amino acid. Mutation in this protein has introduced the code "UAA" at the 49th codon. The code "UAA" is a stop codon. Therefore, the mRNA transcribed from the mutant allele would code for a protein having 48 amino acids as the protein synthesis will be stopped once the stop codon at the 49th position is read.
