in sexual reproduction an offspring is produced with genes from both parents when the offspring has a new genetic variation that
cluponka [151]

Explanation:

Mutations introduce novel variety in a population.

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:

  • somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
  • hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.

Further Explanation:

During reproduction other events, such as crossing over during  meiosis, mutations lead to increases in genetic variation. This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species. Mutations may be either beneficial or deleterious; they are maintained within cells, as they form new traits called alleles. Beneficial mutations may confer traits that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring a protective advantage- these phenotypic differences between organisms are called adaptations.

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism.Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

A protein is discovered that is responsible for retaining youthful elasticity in the skin. A biotechnology company wants to find
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 2,70,000 nucleotide long gene.

The gene refers to the protein coding sequence of the (deoxyribonucleic acid) DNA.

The nucleotide sequence of a gene corresponds to the codon sequence if mRNA. The codon sequence of mRNA then codes for the amino acid sequence of the protein.

The codon refers to the set of three nucleotide which codes for a specific amino acid. For example, CAG codes for glutamine, AUG codes for methionine et cetera.

So, if the polypeptide chain consists of 90,000 amino acids then it must contain 90,000 x 3 nucleotides which are equal to 2,70,000 nucleotides.
