Answer: Gene that arose through gene duplication, but by acquiring mutations became nonfunctional.
Explanation:
A gene is a functional unit of heredity formed by DNA. They possess a sequence of nitrogenous bases that during translation is read by ribosomes to produce molecules called proteins. A pseudogene is a DNA sequence that resembles a gene, but which has been inactivated in the course of evolution by mutations in its sequence. Thus, it is a gene that derives from other known genes and whose functions are different, <u>may have lost their functionality or have radically changed </u>it. To this day, it is not known exactly how pseudogenes are created, however some theories are as follows:
1. A gene duplication can generate two copies of a gene when only one is needed. A mutation would then occur that deactivates one of the copies. In addition, the duplication event may not be complete, so that the copy has incomplete promoters.
2. They may be fragments of the messenger RNA transcript of a gene may be spontaneously reverse transcribed and inserted into the chromosomal DNA. They lack the promoters of normal genes, so they are not expressed normally.
3. A gene may become non-functional or inactivated if such a mutation becomes fixed in the population. This can occur by normal means such as natural selection or genetic drift.
“a restriction enzyme is an enzyme that cuts DNA after recognizing a specific sequence of DNA. You can think of restriction enzymes as molecular scissors. Scientists can use restriction enzymes to cut a single gene from a larger piece of DNA. ...They evolved in bacteria” (study.com)
so, they are used to cut DNA into smaller pieces(:
Answer:
Therefore, 98% of the US population have no alleles for PKU
Explanation:
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that the amount of genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors.
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is expressed quantitatively using a mathematical equation known as the Hardy-Weinberg equation. the equation is given below:
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
also, p + q = 1
Given a pair of alleles, S and s with A dominant and a recessive
where p is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population,
q is the frequency of the recessive allele in the population,
p² represents the frequency of the (SS) dominant genotype,
q² represents the frequency of the (ss) recessive genotype,
2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype
From the given question,
q² = 1/10000 = 0.0001
q = 0.01
from p + q = 1
p = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99
p² = 0.98
Therefore, 98% of the US population have no alleles for PKU
Water plants in the solution are placed under a bright lamp. Thus, option "B" is correct.
<h3>Explain your answer briefly?</h3>
As we know adding carbon dioxide in as solution result in the change of its acidity this is result in the indicator to change from blue to yellow. In the question, it is asked that what factors from the given option will cause yellow indictor to blue which means what factors cause the solution to be alkaline from acidic.
Placing the green water plants in the solution under a bright lamp will cause the is utilizing and remove present carbon dioxide in the solution and leads the to blue color from the yellow color of the solution.
Thus, this could be the answer.
The question is incomplete, however, the missing part is given as below:
A. Yeast cells and sugar are placed in the solution. B. Water plants in the solution are placed under a bright lamp. C. Algae are placed in the solution and left in a dark room. D. A person blows air into the solution through a straw.

One structure that can be found is most plant cells is chloroplast. A plant cell may have around 0 to 20 chloroplast, depending on their location in plant or their function.
Chloroplast is the structure that photosynthesis occurs. Photosynthesis is the method that plant make food for themselves. They turn sunlight into food such as starch.
Plants are autotrophs, which means they make food themselves, they don't need food from other sources like animals. Therefore, chloroplast is not found in animal cells because we are heterotrophs, we feed on other food.
