Answer:

The tRNA would be unable to read the mRNA CODON, and will be unable to carry its corresponding amino acid

Explanation:

Protein synthesis occurs in two major stages; transcription and translation. Transcription involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule while translation involves reading the sequence of the mRNA in order to synthesize amino acids that forms protein. Let's look at translation in details. Translation occurs with the help of a type of RNA molecule called transfer RNA (tRNA) present in the RIBOSOME (site of protein synthesis).

The tRNA possesses a group of three nucleotides called ANTICODON, which it uses to read the mRNA codon that is complementary to it i.e. an anticodon UAC will read mRNA codon AUG. The tRNA binds to the mRNA molecule in order to assess its nuceleotide sequence. Once, a complementary anticodon succesfully reads a particular mRNA codon, it carries the amino acid encoded by the mRNA codon it reads to the growing polypeptide chain. This is the normal translation process.

However, as stated in the question, that if a wrong anticidon successfully binds to a codon. This means that the anticodon that binds to the mRNA codon is not complementary to it. What would happen in this case is that the Anticodon will be unable to read that particular codon it binds to because the complementary base pairing rule is used to read i.e. A-U, G-C. Once, the anticodon cannot read the mRNA codon, the tRNA will also be unable to carry the amino acid that is encoded by that CODON.

Answer:

Co-dominance pattern

Explanation:

<em>Co-dominance is a phenomenon in which the two alleles of a gene exert equal effects on each other. That is neither allele of a gene is has the ability to suppress the expression of the other.</em>

On the other hand, the alternate version of a gene represented by alleles are both expressed phenotypically in individuals carrying a co-dominant gene.

<u>Apart from the illustration shown in the question, a good example of co-dominance can be observed in the human ABO blood system in which both allele A and B are expressed in individuals with AB blood group.</u>

Answer:

Species a and c

Explanation:

The species c, was more closely related to species a than species b was. This is because species a and c just recently evolved into different species in evolutionary history.
