What alleles do the parents have? If the parents are both Homozygous recessive the answer is 0%. If one is homozygous dominant it doesn't matter what the other one is, the answer is 100%. if the are both heterozygous the answer is 75%
Answer:
Since, the original DNA sequence has not been provided, the mutation can be an insertion/deletion or a frameshift mutation.
- Mutated DNA
- Frameshift mutation/ insertion or deletion
- All the amino acids changed after the point mutation
Explanation:
Frameshift Mutation:
- A frameshift mutation is the alteration in the reading frame of the DNA due to the addition/deletion of one or two nucleotides.
- This type of mutation moves the mRNA sequence one or two bases forwards or backwards which disrupts the three base codons sequence required for translation into proteins.
- The CT at the end of the sequence is indicative of a frameshift in the DNA reading frame.
- Frameshift mutation affect all amino acids in a polypeptide chain as all codons are moved one or two steps forwards or backwards.
It is true that it is possible for a population to not evolve for a while.
There is something called the Hardy-Weinberg theorem, which characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving.
There are 5 Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:
- no mutation
- random mating
- no gene flow
- infinite population size
- and no selection (natural nor forced).
You can see that some of these are kinda extreme and really hard to get, but with approximations, we can work.
For example, instead of an "infinite population size" we have enough with a really large population, such that genetic drift is negligible.
Concluding, yes, it is possible (but really difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while (at least, in nature), as long as the 5 assumptions above are met.
