Answer:
It is a beneficial mutation.
Explanation: Mutations are permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. Mutations can beneficial, neutral and harmful or deleterious. When change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA a mutation enhances the effectiveness of a protein or improves the protein function, it is said to be beneficial. When a mutation causes the synthesis of a protein which have the same amino acid as the original protein and performs the same function as the original protein, it is said to be silent or neutral. When a mutation results in the synthesis of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence and a nonfunctional protein, it is said to be harmful.
Out of the following, the one that would most likely happen if DNA polymerase were not functioning properly during DNA replication is the new strands of DNA would not be an exact copy of the original DNA. So the correct answer will be C.
Human eye color is an example of a phenotype that results from the interaction of multiple gene products.
<h3>
Is eye color determined by genetics?</h3>
- A person’s eye color results from pigmentation of a structure called the iris, which surrounds the tiny black hole which is located in the center of the eye (the pupil) and helps control the intensity of the light that enters the eye.
- The color range of the iris is from very light blue to dark brown. Brown is that the most frequent eye color worldwide.
- Eye color is decided by variations in a person’s genes.
- Most of the genes related to eye color are involved in the production, transport, or storage of a pigment called melanin.
- Eye color is directly associated with the amount of melanin in the front layers of the iris. People with brown eyes have an outsized amount of melanin in the iris, while people with blue eyes have much less of this pigment.
