There is no variety in asexual reproduction
tandem repeat is a microsatellite with repeat units that are 2 to 7 base pairs in length, with the number of repeats varying among individuals, making STRs effective for human identification purposes
Explanation:
According to proteomic data analysis, the N-terminus residues highly influence the retention of amino acids due to their role in ion-pairing. Every amino acid has a retention coefficient factor depending on the N-terminus residues it contains. Therefore, the longer the amino acid the higher the likelihood of it having high N-terminus residues and consequent high retention co-efficient.
Answer:
No, there are multiple ways in which different mutations in the same gene can cause the same phenotype
Explanation:
Several different mechanisms of mutation can lead to the same phenotype. For example, lets say our phenotype is that flies have white eyes, and we know that this occurs in one particular gene that normally makes the eye colour red. (the red gene)
These mutations likely rendered the red gene ineffective (as the eyes are not red). However, this could happen in a variety of ways.
- There could be a single base deletion in the first exon of the mRNA, changing the reading frame of the protein and messing up the entire sequence (a frame shift mutations)
- The entire gene could be deleted
- A single base could be substituted in an important site of the gene, for example, one which translates into a catalytic residue or binding site in the protein
- There could be an inversion at the promoter region of the gene, such that a transcription factor can no longer bind to transcribe the gene.
There are countless other ways in which a mutation could have been caused. Therefore, just because we know the same gene is affected does not mean that we can assume the mutations are identical.
