Answer: Mutation

Explanation: Mutation is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. This change occurs during replication where one or more base pairs is either substituted, inserted or deleted in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. These alterations in the DNA sequence produce permanent changes in the genetic information encoded in the DNA. Substitution mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are replaced by another. Insertion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are added in a nucleotide sequence while deletion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are removed from a DNA sequence. When these mutations are not adequately repaired by the DNA repair system, these will lead to production of an RNA with an altered nucleotide sequence and will result in the production of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence. The alteration in the amino acid sequence of the protein will result in loss of or altered function of the protein and will ultimately lead to the expression of a different trait in the organism.

2. Can the classification system change? If so, provide an example of a way it has changed in the past. (2 points)

Elis [28]

Yes, classification system is still evolving together with our knowledge.

But, before changing the name (e.g. of a species) it is important to collect and gather a wealth of information in order to support that change. Classification system is still evolving. The reasons for the changes are DNA analyzes. It is the new way for discovering relation between organisms and put them in the right context (classification used to be based on morphological characteristics).

Change in classification can be shown in an example of fungi. In the 90s fungi classification included only phyla Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota. Now theyhave been classified mainly on the basis of characteristics of their sexual reproductive structures. So, there are 7 phyla now: Microsporidia, Chytridiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota

Your first cousin died of tay-sachs disease (autosomal recessive, incidence 0.09%). you are not affected, nor is anyone else in

AlexFokin [52]

<span>25%

Starting from my First cousin family, I know for sure that the Uncle is is a carrier (Aa) and he must have married a wife who is also a carrier (Aa) and that is how they got an affected son. Thus, this leads to the fact that either both of my grandparents are carriers (Aa x Aa) or only one of them is a carrier (Aa x AA). As a result, the chances that my mom (who is related to the uncle who has a defected child) is a carrier is either (2/3 or 1/2) depending if my grandparents genotype, respectively. Thus, if my mom chances of being a carrier is 1/2 then my chance of being a carrier is 1/4. (given that my dad is not a carrier b/c CF is a rare disease) However, if my mom chance of being a carrier is 2/3 then my chance of being a carrier is (2/3)x(1/2)=(1/3) As a result, I could either be 1/4 or 1/3. But since the answer only provide the choice of 1/4 and not 1/3. This leave 25% is the correct answer.</span>
