How is polyploidy different than the mutation of one or two genes

Biology

Answer:

<h2>Polyploidy is different than the mutation of one or two genes because mutation in one or two genes do not involve the whole set of chromosome as in polyploidy. </h2>

Explanation:

1. Polyploidy:  the condition in which a normally diploid cell or organism gain one ( triploid, 3N) , two ( tetraploid, 4N) or  more additional sets of chromosomes. Polyploidy arises as the result of total non-disjunction of chromosomes during metaphase of mitosis or meiosis, in which the chromosome are not separated during cell division.

2. Mutation: a mutation is a heritable change in the genetic material of an individual.

As given here, the mutation of one or two genes is differ than polyploidy because the polyploidy involves the whole set of chromosome white mutation can be occur in a small portion of chromosome, a single gene, two genes, or large number of genes.  

Polyploidy is different than the mutation of one or two genes because mutation in one or two genes do not involve the whole set of chromosome as in polyploidy.

Cite the most common molecular explanations for dominant and recessive alleles.
tangare [24]

Answer: Dominant allele codes for a functional protein. Recessive allele codes for a less functional or nonfunctional protein, or it does not code for any protein.

Explanation:

Alleles are different forms of a gene. There are two types, dominant and recessive allele. Heterozygous organisms have one of each, and the dominant allele is expressed. Homozygous organisms have either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.

<u>A dominant allele produces a functional protein</u>, even in the presence of a recessive allele, because only one copy of the allele is enough and it masks the effects of the recessive allele. This dominant trait is shown in individuals who are homozygous dominant or heterozygous,

<u>A recessive allele produces a less functional or nonfunctional protein, or it does not code for any protein at all.</u> A recessive allele does not become a trait unless both copies of the gene are present.
