Description:How an X-ray diffraction pattern is created and how the DNA X-ray diffraction pattern can be interpreted to give the dimensions. (DNAi location: Code > Finding the Structure > piece of the puzzle > Franklin's X-ray)Transcript:This is the X-ray crystallograph pattern of DNA obtained by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling in 1952. It is know as the B-form. It was clearer than the other X-ray patterns because water was included in the DNA sample. Both James Watson and Francis Crick were struck by the simplicity and symmetry of this pattern. The distinctive "X" in this X-ray photo is the telltale pattern of a helix. Because the X-ray pattern is so regular, the dimensions of the helix must also be consistent. For example, the diameter of the helix stays the same..........Keywords:x ray diffraction,x ray crystallography,rosalind franklin dna,diffraction pattern,ray pattern,s college
Answer:
It would most likely render the protein nonfunctional or mis-functional.
The mutation could result in three outcomes:
- Silent mutation, which changes the codon to the same amino acid. (AAA->AAG, both are lysine). But since the problem specified that it has a "slightly different amino acid sequence," we can assume this doesn't happen.
- Nonsense mutation, which changes a codon to a stop codon. This would end the chain of amino acids, making the protein potentially nonfunctional.
- Missense mutation, which changes a codon to another completely different codon. This can be harmful, as in sickle-cell disease, where just one amino acid, glutamic acid, is changed to valine.
The
correct answer is a: genetically similar individuals who have been raised in
similar environments.

Answer:
b) false
Explanation:
The given statement is false. the selection process used by the rancher is an example of artificial selection and not natural selection.
Artificial selection is defined as the selection process done by humans on the basis of desirable characters while in natural selection the selection is based on the adaptive characteristics of animals. In the given example rancher choses a desirable character of chicken that lays more eggs.
Hence, the given statement is "false".
