The answer would be D.

The mutation would cause a(in most cases) new and different polypeptide(protein) to be made so it can cause a different trait. For example a new eye color in fruit fly with mutated dna.

Answer: D. The mutated gene codes for a protein that causes a new trait

Explanation:

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can occur from multiple causes. For example, by errors during replication or by the action of mutagens such as UV radiation, among others. When a mutation occurs, if not repaired, it can lead to the production of a different protein. This is because genes code for amino acids, which bonded together form proteins. <u>A change in a DNA gene base can lead to code for a different amino acid</u> (or even adding a new one or causing another to be lost). <u>This alteration can lead to the synthesis of another protein involved in the expression of a trait, and giving rise to a different characteristic</u>, which can be beneficial or harmful.

Yuri [45]
The correct answer is "identifies the feelings underlying the acting-out behaviour ".
This statement shows that the adolescent is recognizing the feelings and is ready to talk about them. This willingness to express this indicates the development of insight and the sincere need to investigate the true source of these behaviours.
By stating that he will never behave like that again and that he will conform to society's norms, he is simply using expressions with no meaning to him. If he discusses seducing other adolescents, he is just manifesting the behaviour that led him to the hospital in the first place.

In a population fulfilling all the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium, allelic frequencies:
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

A. will not change from generation to generation.  

Explanation:

For a population in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation and remain constant. This occurs when:

-The population is large enough.

-Individuals of the population exhibit random mating .

-No evolutionary force (natural selection, mutation, gene flow, etc.) is operative on the population.

Under these conditions, the allele frequencies of the population are not changed and the population is said to be in "Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium".
