Ans.

Gametes are defined as male or female germ cells, which fuse with gamete of opposite sex to form a zygote. Gametes are produced by the process of meiosis and thus, each gamete is haploid, having half the number of chromosomes as present in parent cell or in a normal cell.  

When male and female gametes fuse together (sperm and egg, respectively), it leads to formation of zygote. As each gamete is haploid in nature, fusion of gametes results in formation of zygote having two sets of chromosomes (one from each gamete), hence, zygote is considered as diploid in nature.  

Thus, the correct word to complete the sentence is 'diploid.'

Suppose that part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine-proline-glycine-alanine to tyrosine-histidine-gly
stira [4]

Suppose that part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine-proline-glycine-alanine to tyrosine-histidine-glycine-alanine. This change was most likely caused by a point mutation called a <u>substitution</u>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Any protein is synthesized by joining a number of amino acids together. This amino acid is placed based on the sequences of the DNA , for every 3 sequence there is an amino acid that is synthesized and therefore it is called as a triplet codon, since there may be many sequence for a single amino acid we call it as degenerate codon.
