What would be the effect of a mutation in the coding region of the lactase gene?

Fynjy0 [20]

Lactase refers to an enzyme that can dissociate lactose sugar into glucose and galactose. This enzyme plays an important role in the digestion of milk that comprises high lactose sugar. In case, if a mutation occurs in the gene codon of lactase, then two possibilities can take place. These are as follows:

1. Loss of mutation: In this case, the person becomes lactose intolerant because of mutation in lactase gene codon. Due to this, there is low mRNA expression and thus low production of the enzyme lactase. This is also known as lactase non-persistent phenotype.

2. Gain in mutation: In this case, the person gain an increase in mRNA expression of the lactase gene, thus more production of lactase takes place than usual. This kind of individual exhibits lactase persistent phenotype.

Compare and contrast point mutations and chromosome mutations and explain the basis for classifying a mutation as beneficial, ne

zepelin [54]

<span>Point mutations are of two types: Substitutions of bases that are the change of one base of DNA by another. And Transitions that are replaced on a pyrrhic basis by another pyrrhic or a pyrimidine by another pyrimidine. Transversions: substitution of a pyrrhic base by another pyrimidine or vice versa. These mutations are negative because they affect only one of the nucleotides, and therefore, only one triplet of bases are affected. When the mutation does not affect the individual it is a silent mutation. Chromosomal mutations Changes in the structure of the diploid chromosomes, where one of the chromosomes has a mutation, will have another normal. They can hinder the process of meiosis in the carrier since it hinders the correct pairing of the homologous chromosomes. It would produce an unfeasible offspring or with mutations.</span>

In Drosophila, the genes for body coloration and eye size are on different chromosomes. Normal-colored bodies are dominant to eb

Yuri [45]

Answer:

225 flies

Explanation:

Let gene for body colour : A

Let gene for eye type : B

Parent 1 : normal body and normal eyes = AABB

Parent 2: ebony body and eyeless = aabb

F1 : AABB X aabb = AaBb ( all have normal body and normal eye )

F1 progeny is self crossed given that the two genes are on different chromosomes which means they show independent assortment:

AaBb X AaBb =

A_B_ = normal body, normal eyes = 9

aaB_ = ebony body, normal eyes = 3

A_bb = normal body, eyeless = 3

aabb = ebony body, eyeless = 1

Hence the ratio is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1

Out of the 400 flies:

(9/16) * 400 = 225 flies have normal body colour and normal eyes
