Answer:

Chromosomal mutation

Explanation:

Any modification that interferes with the number or structure of chromosomes in a cell is called a chromosomal mutation. Chromosomal mutations can be classified into numerical mutations, where there is change in the number of cell chromosomes, and structural mutations, where there is change in the shape or size of one or more cell chromosomes.

Numerical mutations are further subdivided into aneuploidies and euploidies. In aneuploidies, there is an increase or loss of one or more chromosomes; In euploidies, the increase or loss will be in complete chromosomal batches, also known as genomes.

Answer:

Chromosomal Mutation

Explanation:

The development and function of an organism is in large part controlled by genes. Mutations can lead to changes in the structure of an encoded protein or to a decrease or complete loss in its expression. Because a change in the DNA sequence affects all copies of the encoded protein, mutations can be particularly damaging to a cell or organism. In contrast, any alterations in the sequences of RNA or protein molecules that occur during their synthesis are less serious because many copies of each RNA and protein are synthesized.

Geneticists often distinguish between the genotype and phenotype of an organism. Strictly speaking, the entire set of genes carried by an individual is its genotype, whereas the function and physical appearance of an individual is referred to as its phenotype. However, the two terms commonly are used in a more restricted sense: genotype usually denotes whether an individual carries mutations in a single gene (or a small number of genes), and phenotype denotes the physical and functional consequences of that genotype.

Lena [83]

Answer:

BB is blue

bb is red

Bb is patchwork

Explanation:

It can't really be codominant since lowercase letters are recessive, and condomance needs 2 dominant alleles of a different types. So really it should be BB for blue, RR for red and BR for patchwork...

At the end of meiosis ll, each of the haploid sex cells had only half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell. Wh
tester [92]

Answer:

The cells at the end of meiosis II must have half the number of chromosomes because, if they didn't have, the reunion of both gametes with diploid number of chromosomes for example, in gametes would form twice the number chromosomes.

Setler [38]

Answer:

<u>D) the nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA)</u>

<u />

Explanation:

Phages, or bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.They have varying shapes, and sizes, and may contain one of two kinds of nucleic acid; these are RNA and DNA.

The nucleic acids  are made up of nucleotides. These are  genetic storage biomolecules made up of the monomers ribonucleic acid (RNA) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
