The right answer is: neutral mutation.

Neutral mutation is a nucleotide change in the DNA of the leading to the replacement of one amino acid by another amino acid possessing the same physicochemical properties.

example: AAA to AGA (Lysine to Arginine).

both these two amino acids are positively charged, so the charge of the protein will not change

Answer:

PART B: My Own Masterpiece!

Activity 1: What are your true colors?

Use the given fictional genes of different colors to predict the phenotype ratio

and genotype ratio. Color each tile in the Punnett square corresponding to its

phenotype. An example is already given as your guide.

G GG

g Gg

Pointing System:

G Gray (Dominant) Genotype Ratio 1:2:1

g - White (Recessive) Phenotype Ratio 3:1

1 point for each tile of correct genotype of offspring (max

4 pts) 1 point for each tile of correct phenotype of

offspring (max 4 pts) 1 point for correct genotypic ratio

1 point for correct

phenotypic ratio Total: 10

points for each combination

Combination No. 1

G - Gray

- White

(Recessive) Phenotype Ratio

Combination No. 2

(Dominant) Genotype Ratio
