Chromosomes contain genes, and genes determine an organism's characteristics. Sometimes mutations occur in which the sequence of

nucleotides within a gene becomes altered. Which of the following describes how a gene mutation would most likely affect an organism?

The gene mutation is a permanent adjustment in the DNA sequence that can replicate but differ from another.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There is a constant change of DNA in the process of gene mutation, the gene mutation is a permanent adjustment in the DNA sequence that can replicate but differ from another.

Mutations can take the form of anatomy and deletions, creating a wide variety of lengths known as indels. This insertion and deletion in the sequence of nucleotide is called frame shift mutation.

This result comes out as a complete alteration of amino acid sequence. The who mRNA sequence would be read differently and produce a different kind of amino acid which produces polypeptide chain.

Where would you be most likely to find the oldest rocks on Earth?
alekssr [168]

At the outer edges of ocean crust

Explanation:

The rocks found in continents are older and in some cases the oldest. The younger rocks are found in mid ridge of ocean. The oldest rocks can be found in ocean trenches that are very deep.

At the outer edges of ocean crust, oldest rocks can’t be found as relatively newer ones are formed continually and mostly found. So, different regions have different ages of rocks and needs to be explored properly.

Based on dna and archaelogicacl evidence, when does the mutation for lactase persistence occur in europe
Reptile [31]
<span>Lactase persistence, the ability to digest the milk sugar lactose in adulthood, is highly associated with a T allele situated 13,910 bp upstream from the actual lactase gene in Europeans. The frequency of this allele rose rapidly in Europe after transition from hunter–gatherer to agriculturalist lifestyles and the introduction of milkable domestic species from Anatolia some 8000 years ago. Here we first introduce the archaeological and historic background of early farming life in Europe, then summarize what is known of the physiological and genetic mechanisms of lactase persistence. Finally, we compile the evidence for a co-evolutionary process between dairying culture and lactase persistence. We describe the different hypotheses on how this allele spread over Europe and the main evolutionary forces shaping this process. We also summarize three different computer simulation approaches, which offer a means of developing a coherent and integrated understanding of the process of spread of lactase persistence and dairying.</span>
