Answer: The give alter initial amino acid sequence.

Explanation:

Mutation is sudden heritable change in DNA sequence it can be inherited from parents by offspring. When mutation affects DNA sequence it could bring about deletion of important base sequence, insertion of new base sequence or frameshift leading to formation of entirely new base sequence and amino acid. This new sequence is a mutation and it could give rise to abnormalities in the body system. Evolutionary changes is as a result of accumulation of mutations, aneamia is also an example of mutation in human.

Answer:

This probably because they destroy a given character or give rise to a new one.

Explanation:

 Alteration here are the permanent changes found in the DNA structure. And are totally inheritable. An example is the case of sickle cell anaemia and haemophilia. People with this anaemia trait hardly live and reproduce even though they do not show ill effects.

 Therefore, this mutation alteration is harmful because they destroy a given character.

5. Predict the possible genotypes and
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Predict the possible genotypes and  phenotypes percentages for the

offspring produced from the cross  below if albinism is recessive in

humans.  Albino male x Heterozygous female

aa X Aa = Aa, aa, Aa, aa

Explanation:

From the crossing above, it is right to say that albinism and non-albinism occur in a 50-50 ratio i.e 50% each. The genotype shows that there is 50% homozygous recessive albinism while there is also 50% heterozygous non-albinism. The phenotype reflects that there no dominance of albinism or non-albinism, they both share equal phenotypic characteristics
