How can a mutation in an organism’s genes affect its traits?

Biology
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:Mutations can affect the body by altering its physical characteristics (or phenotype), or they can affect how DNA (genotype) information is encoded on the organism.

Explanation: three ways a mutation can affect an organism:

Some mutations have no significant effect on the phenotype of the organism. This can happen in many situations: a mutation may occur in a non-functional DNA fragment, or a mutation may occur in the protein encoding region, but ultimately does not affect the sequence of protein amino acids.

adell [148]

Answer:

The males can only either be black or orange

Explanation:

There can be no male calico because for an offspring to be a calico the two codominant alleles must each be carried on the two X chromosomes and in the males, there is the presence of just one X chromosomes, thus they can either be black or be orange. For the females, the can only be black if they carry the black allele on both X chromosomes, the same goes for the orange.
