<span>B) 50%
The reason for this is because if the mother and the father, one is infected, and the other not, then it would be a 50/50 chance. </span>

B)50%


Explaination:

The child receives 23 chromosomes from each parent because the child required 46 chromosomes. Each parent also gives genetic information to the child (DNA). Therefore, if one parent is sickly and the other is not, there is a 50/50 chance that the child could get sick or not.

Dr. stevens is examining the dna sequences of a group of mice. he notices that in one of the mice, one nucleotide pair is substi
serious [3.7K]

Out of the following given choices;

<span>A.      </span>The mouse has a completely different DNA sequence than the other mice.

<span>B.      </span> The substituted nucleotide has the same directions as the original nucleotide.

<span>C.      </span>Substitutions in the nucleotides of a mouse's DNA never affect their phenotypes.

<span>D.      </span>DNA sequences don't determine the color of a mouse's fur.

The answer is B. Most probably, the nucleotide substitution did not translate to a change in the amino acid sequence in the translated protein. As you may be aware, most amino acids are coded by more than one codon. For example, Leucine is coded for by CTT, CTC, CTA, CTG, TTA, TTG. Therefore, a substitution, that causes a change to either one of the sequences will not change the amino acid.
