Answer:

Will never go to fixation.

Explanation:

Mutation is the sudden, heritable change in the genetic sequence of the organisms. The mutation might cause the particular disease in the organisms.

The  gene fitness leads to the increase in the gene frequency in the upcoming generations. The gene will fix in the population when their i no selection and no mutation. Since, the information given in the question states that mutation is acting, so the A allele will never fix in the population.

Thus, the answer is option (c).

Which of the following is a function of stomata?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]


The most accurate answer is release water vapor.

Stomata are special pores in plants  found typically on the outer leaf skin layer called the epidermis. They consist of two specialized cells called guard cells that surround a tiny pore called a stoma.

Their main function is to allow water vapor and gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen to move rapidly in and out of the leaf.

The word stomata means mouth in Greek because they allow communication between the  internal and external environments of the plant.

You are interested in studying a gene called CFTR because mutations in this gene in humans cause cystic fibrosis. You have made
Juliette [100K]

Answer: Both the mouse and human beings are encoding the proteins having similar functions.

Explanation:

The CFTR gene in the mouse and CFTR gene in the human beings encode proteins that perform similar function,this is so because if the results are same then it means that both mouse and human beings are encoding the protein that have similar function.

Option A is incorrect  because both humans and mouse are eukaryotes so they have introns and because of that even if the gene sequences are different they can still encode protein.

Option B is incorrect because  amino acid sequences can be similar inorder to have the similar function. If glutamic acid is replaced by aspartic acid, it won't have different function the function will remain same. So, identical amino acid sequences are not required. They can be similar too.
