Answer:

In Zebra mussels the cross that would the greatest number of heterozygous offspring is AA X aa (option A).

Explanation:

For a specific trait the cross that provides the greatest amount of heterozygous offspring is that of two pure lines, dominant and recessive.  In this case, AA x aa will have a 100% probability of heterozygous (Aa) offspring, as can be seen in a Punnett chart:

<em>Alelles    A     A</em>

<em>a            Aa    Aa</em>

<em>a            Aa    Aa</em>

AA X Aa will only have a 50% chance of heterozygous offspring, as will the cross aa X Aa.

- <u>AA X Aa</u>

Alelles    A     A

A           AA    AA

a           Aa     Aa

- <u>Aa X aa</u>

Alelles    A     a

a            Aa    aa

a            Aa    aa

A heterozygous genotype results in two different alleles being found in one gene, which determines a specific trait, where the dominant characteristic is expressed in the phenotype.

Identify the type of mutation that occurred and explain in what way it affected the protein
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The type of mutation that occurs when in the DNA strand there is a change from guanine to cytosine is a nonsense mutation, since the triplet that should encode the amino acid encodes a stop codon and the protein cannot be completely synthesized.

Explanation:

The nonsense mutation consists of a change in one of the bases of the stranded DNA, which is transcribed into an altered mRNA, producing a stop codon, instead of an amino acid.

In the table it is observed that the CCA codon is a stop codon that cuts off the protein synthesis prematurely, leaving it incomplete and probably non-functional.

Sometimes this type of mutation can alter the sequence of amino acids but the protein may be complete enough to partially fulfill its function.
