Answer: Very unlikely

Explanation:

Generally, point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation, so

before any changes occur in the amino acid sequence, it would have been corrected.

However, when point mutation occurs within the protein coding region of a gene it may results in the change of a single nucleotide to cause the substitution of a different amino acid (which renders the protein non-functional) as in the case of sickle-cell disease.

And this kind of point mutation is specifically called Missense mutation.

Above all, because point mutation is easily reversible, it is very unlikely to change the amino acid sequence of a protein

Rna in cells differs from dna in that ___________________. select one:
irinina [24]
Hello! 

RNA in cells differs from DNA in that it is single-stranded and can fold up into a variety of structures.

RNA is the abbreviation for RiboNucleic Acid. It is a biological molecule that fulfills an important role by copying the information stored in the DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid) and transporting it to the different proteins by folding into different shapes. Its name come from a Ribose molecule that is present in this single-stranded molecule.  

Viruses don't have DNA, only RNA. They only replicate in the host's cells by copying their own RNA information. 

Have a nice day!

A patient  with  a neurodegenerative  disease  show   degeneration  of  the  amygdala  making  them  more  likely  to  forget  a (n)   emotionally  traumatic  event
  
The  neurodegeneration  is  the  progressive loss  of   structure  or  function  of  neurons which  include  even  death  of  neurons  which  is  characterized  by  loss  of  memory.  Emotionally  trauma  is   damage of   the  mind as  a  result   of  severely distressing  event

100 individuals whose genetic makeup is composed of 20% recessive alleles join an established population. The established popula
NeX [460]

Answer:

population = 600

heterozygotes = 2pq

The homozygous recessive percentage = q^{2}

q = 0.1

Solve for q:

∴ q = \sqrt{q}

∴ q = \sqrt{0.10}

∴ q = 0.316

solve for p:

for p + q = 1,

thus p = 1 – q = 1 – 0.316 = 0.684  

The heterozygotes = 2pq

2pq =  2 x 0.316 x 0.684 = 0.432

600 x 0.432 = 259.2  = 259

so,  the population reaches Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, 259 of indviduals should be heterozygous for this trait.

Hence, the correct answer is 259 .
