How do scientists describe a genotype that has one copy of the recessive allele?

Biology

Rom4ik [11]3 years ago

Answer:

Heterozygous

Explanation:

A genotype describes which alleles of a particular gene a person has. We have two copies (alleles) of each gene, one from mom and one from dad, but these alleles can be different.

Often, these alleles can be dominant and recessive with regards to eachother. The dominant allele will always be displayed in the phenotype, whereas the recessive will not be presented, as it is masked by the dominant gene. If you have two copies of the dominant gene (homozygous) you will display the phenotype associated with the dominant genotype. If you have two copies of the recessive gene (homozygous) you will display the phenotype of the recessive gene.

If you have one copy of each (heterozygous), you will display the phenotype of the dominant gene, even though your genotype has a copy of each.

Given the mRNA sequence below, what would tRNA anticodons be in response? A-U-G-C-C-U-A-C-G-G-G-G-G-C-C-A
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

U-A-C-G-G-A-U-G-C--C-C-C-C-G-G-U

Explanation:

The mRNA (messenger RNA) is produced via the process of TRANSCRIPTION, which is the first stage of gene expression in living cells. The mRNA sequence formed is further read in the ribosomes in a group of three nucleotides called CODONS. This reading is done by another type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA).

The tRNA uses a set of three nucleotide bases that are complementary to that of the mRNA codons called ANTICODON. The anticodons are complementary to the mRNA codon i.e. A on the mRNA sequence will be read and recognized by U on the tRNA anticodon.

Hence, given the mRNA sequence: A-U-G-C-C-U-A-C-G-G-G-G-G-C-C-A, the tRNA anticodons that will read this sequence will be: U-A-C-G-G-A-U-G-C--C-C-C-C-G-G-U
