Achondroplastic dwarfism is a dominant genetic trait that causes severe malformation of the skeleton. Homozygotes for this condi

tion are spontaneously aborted (hence, the homozygous condition is lethal) but heterozygotes will develop to be dwarfed. Matthew has a family history of the condition, although he does not express the trait. Jane is an achondroplastic dwarf. Matthew and Jane are planning a family of several children and want to know the chances of producing a child with achondroplastic dwarfism. The genotypes of Matthew and Jane are best represented as _____.

Answer:

Jane: Aa

Matthew: aa

Explanation:

Jane is a heterozygous woman, which means that she is dominant for this genetic trait while Matthew is homozygous that did not inherit the achondroplastic dwarfism trait from his parents, that is why he is alive.

If we draw a Punnett square, we can see that some of their children will inherit the trait while others will not.

Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. An individual experiences a mutation that changes a base in a tRNA
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Substitution

Explanation:

There are 3 types of mutations: deletions, insertions, and substitutions.

A deletion deletes one of the bases (AGTC), which can completely mess up the sequence and create a completely different protein.

An insertion inserts a new base into the strand, which can also completely mess up the sequence and create a completely different protein.

A substitution just changes one of the bases to a different base. This doesn't usually affect what protein is made, but when it does, it only changes one of the amino acids in the sequence, whereas the others change all of the amino acids in the sequence.

If the same protein is still created, then this person only experienced a substitution because it didn't affect the end result of the protein.

All organisms possess a genetic system based on what
ozzi

Answer:

DNA

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is defined as the genetic material in all the living organisms responsible for all the genetic activities in an organism.

DNA carries genetic instructions that are inherited from one generation to another generation. The DNA comprises of genes having specific genetic code that encodes the sequence of amino acid residues in proteins. DNA undergoes the process of replication and form several copies of it which are passed on to next generation.

Hence, the correct answer is "DNA".
