When there has been an error in copying a DNA, a DNA repair gene fixes its mistakes. However, a person having an error in his DNA repair gene (which are not corrected), it may lead to gene mutations with the possibility of leading to cancer. The mutations of DNA repair gene can possibly be inherited or acquired.
Answer:
A. fitness
Explanation:
Fitness, also known as 'evolutionary fitness', refers to the ability of one species/population/individual to survive and reproduce in its environment. Fitness is a fundamental concept in the evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin, because this concept highlights the importance of natural selection as the key mechanism by which evolution occurs. Fitness can be measured as the success of passing genes associated with specific phenotypic traits to the next generation.
A codon is a sequence of three bases found on the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is translated to produce an amino acid. Each amino acid is coded by one or more specific codons. If the codon is changed through a mutation, the amino acid produced may be different. However, in this case, the other codons that produce Leucine are:
UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG
So the code CUU could mutate to CUC, CUA or CUG and leucine would still be produced.
