Gene mutations can be positive, negative, or neutral. Suppose that the normal gene in Model 2 produced a polypeptide that was necessary for cellular respiration.
A) Choose a mutation from those in Model 2 that might be positive for a cell. Explain your reasoning by relating the mutation to the cellular respiration process.
Genes encoded in our DNA result in the production of proteins that perform specific functions within human's cells and various environmental factors and spontaneous events can lead to changes in genes, these changes are called mutations, can lead to alterations in the structure and activity of the proteins in the cells use. Mutations are the source of all new alleles in nature and arise spontaneously at low frequency owing to the chemical instability of purine and pyrimidine bases and to errors during DNA replication. Therefore,a gene mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides that occurs during cell replication (mitosis and meiosis) within a single coding section of DNA. Variations in alleles lead to variations in organisms within a population, cellular respiration, i.e. the reduction of inspired oxygen to water, which powers cell function, also generates highly reactive oxygen species that can damage DNA, with the purine bases G and A being particularly susceptible to this kind of attack,so Positive mutations lead to the organism having a better chance of survival, which means the mutation may be passed on to the offspring.
B) Choose a mutation from those in Model 2 that might be negative for a cell. Explain your reasoning by relating the mutation to the cellular respiration process.
Due to one's metabolism, the human body replaces every cell within the cellular respiration process and any mistakes can also occur in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide. However, these changes are considered to be negative mutations, because they are not permanent changes to the cell, however such mutations may lead to an early death probably before the organism can produce offspring.
Genetic Drift, because they are moving and then restarting.
The answer is d I hope this helps
Answer:
To determine the fraction for the inheritance of Red green colorblindness the genotype of their parents must be considered although neither John nor Ann is color blind there is a very high probability that Ann will be a carrier if that is the case the fractions of the daughters of John and Ann that are expected to be carriers of that trait is 50% chance.
Explanation:
A punnet square can be used to determine any possible genotypic combinations in the parents. color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait in which the patient is not able to distinguish, red or green or blue color. The normal gene and its recessive allele are carried by X chromosome in men, this color blindness appears in the presence of a single recessive gene Whereas in women color blindness occur only when both chromosome carry the gene this shows criss cross inheritance
Answer:
C. Oxygen supply
Explanation:
Autotrophs make their own food with carbon dioxide and create oxygen as a byproduct. Heterotrophs need oxygen to create energy and create carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Therefore, if there are no autotrophs, the carbon dioxide in the air won’t be able to be used to turn to oxygen, which heterotrophs need. The heterotrophs will use up all of the oxygen in the air, leaving lots of carbon dioxide behind. This is why we need plants and trees! Thus, the answer is C.
