Answer: White spot allele frequency for moths is 0.47.

Explanation:

Hi, Alternative forms of a gene are called alleles; all sexually reproducing organisms have two alleles - one inherited from each parent.

The allele (version of the gene) for dark body color is dominant, which means that a moth possessing at least one such allele will have a dark body. To have a light body, the moth has to have both alleles for light body color.

        Is the same case for the spots, white spot allele frequency for moths is 0.47.

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.

What alternative form of genes do nucleic acids have that allows them to offer variability?
inna [77]

The answer to the above question is alleles.

<h3>What are Alleles?</h3>

The two nucleic acids in living things that are employed for conveying and storing genetic information are RNA and DNA. The genetic material in living things is called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and it contains sections coding for beneficial proteins and products as well as carrying genetic information from one generation to the next. These chunks are referred to as genes.

However, genes also have a different form that is in charge of the genetic diversity in the qualities they are coding for. Allele refers to a gene's alternative or variant version. In a diploid creature like the human, each trait is encoded by genes that include contrasting pairs of alleles, allowing variation for that specific trait, i.e. two alleles for each gene. For instance, a gene with two alleles that codes for one of the human height traits includes the short variety (t) and the tall variety (T).

Homeostasis involves the maintenance of constant conditions in an organism. What might happen to a protein if homeostasis is dis
meriva
This was answered else where on Brainly, and this is what they said,

"Most proteins in the living organisms are enzymes and they required specific optimum conditions in order to function optimally. Disruption in the homeostasis will leads to deactivation of these proteins. For instance, if the temperature needed for a protein to work optimally has been exceeded, the protein may be denatured and will be unable to perform its needed functions, this may result in several adverse effects in the organism."
