Nucleotide substitutions in a gene occur at a relatively constant rate.
A nonsynonymous substitution is a nucleotide mutation that alters the amino acid sequence of a protein. Nonsynonymous substitutions differ from synonymous substitutions, which do not alter amino acid sequences and are (sometimes) silent mutations.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Assume that allele A is the dominant allele that produces the dominant phenotype (tall) in plants that have at least one allele A, and allele a is the recessive allele that produces the recessive phenotype (short) in plants that have two alleles a.
In the parental generation, a true-breeding tall plant has the AA genotype (phenotype: tall), and a true-breeding short plant has the aa genotype (phenotype: short).
We have the Gregor Mendel's cross as in the image attached here.
All of the F1 generation (offspring plants) have the Aa heterozygous genotype, and therefore, they are all tall.
The answer is c (the offspring plants have a genotype that was different from that of both parents).
Lycopodium is a family of fern-allies .
They are mostly a flowerless plants with widely branched, with little and simple,
needle-like like leaves that
cover the branches thickly and stem while Equisetum usually called horsetail, snake
grass because it more like a tail of a horse and its the only living genus in Equisetaceae,
a family of vascular
plants that reproduce by spores rather than
seeds.
So they can say the number quicker.
