What is the effect of a mutation?

1 answer:

5 0

Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein.

Final maturation process of sperm in female tract before fertilization accomplished by binding of sperm to a glycosaminoglycan

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Mammalian fertilization comprises sperm migration through the female reproductive tract, biochemical and morphological changes to sperm, and sperm-egg interaction in the oviduct. Recent gene knockout approaches in mice have revealed that many factors previously considered important for fertilization are largely dispensable, or if they are essential, they have an unexpected function. These results indicate that what has been observed in in vitro fertilization (IVF) differs significantly from what occurs during “physiological” fertilization. This Review focuses on the advantages of studying fertilization using gene-manipulated animals and highlights an emerging molecular mechanism of mammalian fertilization.

The relative concentration of water in a hypotonic solution is _____.

melomori [17]

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is High.

Hypotonic solution is the one, which contains less concentration of solute (like salt) as compared to the solvent (water).

In other words, in a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solvent is higher than the concentration of solutes.

Thus, the relative concentration of water ( which is a solvent) in a hypotonic solution is high.
