In the year 2500, five male space colonists and five female space colonists (all unrelated to each other) settle on an uninhabit

ed Earthlike planet in the Andromeda galaxy. The colonists and their offspring randomly mate for generations. All 10 of the original colonists had free earlobes, and 2 were heterozygous for that trait. The allele for free earlobes is dominant to the allele for attached earlobes. Which of these is closest to the allele frequency in the founding population?
a. 0.1 a, 0.9 A
b. 0.2 a, 0.8 A
c. 0.5a, 0.5 A
d. 0.8 a, 0.2 A
e. 0.4 a, 0.6 A

A mutation in _____ results in a change in _____ that sometimes produces a(n) _____ with altered structure and function.
xenn [34]

Answer:

A mutation in <u>DNA </u>results in a change in <u>RNA </u>that sometimes produces a <u>protein </u>with altered structure and function.

Explanation:

DNA is the hereditary material which causes gene expression in our body by producing protein. The type of protein which is produced by DNA totally depends upon the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. But, DNA molecule does not produce protein directly. Initially it produces RNA (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) by the process of transcription, the nucleotides in the RNA are complimentary to those in DNA. In short, the message regarding the structure and composition of the type protein to be produced by DNA is first decoded from DNA in the form of RNA. These RNA molecules then synthesize the protein as per the instructions from DNA by the process of translation.

But, in case a mutation occurs in the DNA which causes a change in it's nucleotide/nucleotides, the protein which will be produced will be different in the structure and function than the protein which was supposed to be synthesized. It happens because, a triplet of nucletiodes in the DNA and hence RNA specifies a particular type of amino acid and several amino acids are joined in a long chain to form polypeptide which ultimately forms protein. But, if any nucleotide in the triplet is changed due to mutation it may change the amino acid and if amino acid will change the protein will also get altered.

Provide explanations of genotypes and phenotypes.
Korvikt [17]
The phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism, while the Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism. Phenotype is observable and are the expression of the genes of an individual. So even the organism with the same species may differ, with a minute difference in their genotype. This is the main difference between the two.

We can notice one’s hair colour, eye colour, height, weight, skin colour, etc. but cannot look at genes responsible for these characters, so the observable physical look is the phenotype while the unnoticed genes responsible for such characters present in the DNA of cell of the individual is genotype.

To explain the above lines, here is the simple example of a pure red colour flowering plant (RR) is crossed with the white colour flowering plant (rr). The result of the Genotype of the F1 generation will be – Rr (Hybrid red colour), and the Phenotype of the F1 generation will be the – Red colour flowering plant.

Genotype and phenotype are the two very closely related and similar-sounding words, but their meaning is different. Our earth has a dynamic variety of organisms, present in soil, water and on land. But as the genome of each organism is different, and so there phenotypes also whether it’s their colour, height, weight or other morphological features.

A nonsense mutation in a gene _____. A nonsense mutation in a gene _____. has no effect on the amino acid sequence of the encode
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

introduces a premature stop codon into the mRNA

Explanation:

A nonsense mutation is a mutation in which an amino acid–specifying codon is changed into a termination codon or stop codon. A stop codon is a codon that does not code for any amino acid and serves to terminate the process of protein synthesis as ribosomes encounter it on the mRNA.

There are three stop codons: UAA, UAG, UGA. A nonsense mutation introduces a stop codon in place of an amino acid encoding codon. It results in the formation of truncated protein which is shorter than the normal protein. Truncated proteins are mostly nonfunctional.
