Answer:
a. carry genetic information that influences the same traits.
Explanation:
Homologous chromosomes are the pairs of chromosomes. One chromosome of a pair is derived from the egg cell while the other comes from sperms. Two chromosomes of a pair carry the gene for the same traits. For example, two copies of chromosome 21 would carry the genes for the same traits in humans. However, these two chromosomes of a homologous pair may have the same or different alleles for a particular gene.
If chromosome 21 carries the gene for eye color in humans, the paternal chromosome may have the allele for blue eyes while the maternal chromosome may carry the allele for the black eyes. However, both of them have the "gene for the same traits (eye color)".
Answer:
No, there are multiple ways in which different mutations in the same gene can cause the same phenotype
Explanation:
Several different mechanisms of mutation can lead to the same phenotype. For example, lets say our phenotype is that flies have white eyes, and we know that this occurs in one particular gene that normally makes the eye colour red. (the red gene)
These mutations likely rendered the red gene ineffective (as the eyes are not red). However, this could happen in a variety of ways.
- There could be a single base deletion in the first exon of the mRNA, changing the reading frame of the protein and messing up the entire sequence (a frame shift mutations)
- The entire gene could be deleted
- A single base could be substituted in an important site of the gene, for example, one which translates into a catalytic residue or binding site in the protein
- There could be an inversion at the promoter region of the gene, such that a transcription factor can no longer bind to transcribe the gene.
There are countless other ways in which a mutation could have been caused. Therefore, just because we know the same gene is affected does not mean that we can assume the mutations are identical.
Meiosis is the splitting of haploid gamete cells (Sperm and Egg)
Answer:
Una variable de control (o constante científica) en la experimentación científica es un elemento experimental que es constante y sin cambios durante el curso de la investigación. ... Las variables de control en sí mismas no son de interés primario para el experimentador.
Explanation:
Answer:
a) The substrate 2 will be accumulated in the cells.
b) The enzyme E is mutated
Explanation:
a) The enzyme C has a mutation, the substrate 2 will not be turn into substrate 3 and this will cause to accumulation of 2.
b) when cells have 1,2,3 or 4 because of mutation of E non of these substrates cannot lead to 5. but ıf 5 gıven from the diet, the individuals can survive.
