Answer : The correct answer for the blank is -  C) point mutation.

Mutation can be described as the permanent change in the sequence of genetic material (that is DNA) of living organisms.

Point mutation corresponds to change in one nucleotide sequence of DNA.

There can be primarily three types of point mutation that is deletion (one nucleotide is deleted from the sequence), addition (a nucleotide is added), and substitution (a nucleotide is substituted by another nucleotide).

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The substitution, addition, or removal of a single nucleotide in DNA is called a point mutation. It is a type of mutation that affects only one or very few nucleotides in a gene sequence.

Write a Sentence explaining the connection between dominant and recessive
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The most common interaction between alleles is a dominant/recessive relationship. An allele of a gene is said to be dominant when it effectively overrules the other (recessive) allele. Eye colour and blood groups are both examples of dominant/recessive gene relationships.

The main difference between dominant and recessive trait is that dominant genes always passes the dominant behavior genes while the recessive ones pass the recessive behavior genes. In fact, the dominant genes are said to be more likely to pass to future generations, while the recessive ones are less likely to do that.
