Someone who is heterozygous for a recessive allele that codes for a disorder of some sort will not express the disorder in his or her genotype, but would be considered a carrier of the allele, and could pass it on to his or her offspring if the other parent is either heterozygous or homozygous for the recessive allele.

If a mutation occurred that increased the number of exons in a sequence of DNA, what impact would this have on the protein forme

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

An increase in the number of exons in a sequence of DNA would result in another protein with a longer amino acid sequence.

Exons are the coding part of a gene as opposed to introns. After transcription, the non-coding part of the gene - the introns - are removed by splicing and the exons are joined back together. The final RNA that will undergo translation consists of only exons.

The longer the exons in a gene, the more the codons present in the corresponding mRNA from the gene, and the more the number of amino acids that would be translated from the mRNA. A longer amino acid chain would result in a different protein.

Hence, a mutation that causes an increase in the number of exons in a sequence of DNA would result in a different protein with a longer amino acid sequence.
