Hi,

If a point mutation occurs during which  CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.

This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.

We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism

Hope it helps!:)

Answer:

Nothing will happen since the last codon will still correspond to threonine.

In a particular population of mice, certain individuals display a phenotype called "short tail," which is inherited as a dominan
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The "short tail" dominant allele is easier to eliminate by selective breeding.

Explanation:

The only way for a recessive allele to be expressed (be visible) is when it appears as recessive homozygotic. These means the organisms need to have 2 copies of the gene. Selective breeding is based on the characteristics that one can see, so if the organism shows the "dilute" phenotype you can keep reproducing this individuals and get rid of the dominant allele.

On the other hand if you have a population with the dominant phenotype, you discard all the ones that have a recessive trait and you breed the dominant phenotype you could still get individuals with the recessive phenotype and individuals that express the dominant phenotype but are heterozygous.

Ill health induced by chronic stress exposure may be due in part to the prolonged secretion of what hormone? select one:
emmasim [6.3K]
The answer that best fits the description above is the hormone GLUCOCORTICOID. This was according to Hans Selye, an Austrian-Canadian endocrinologist. According to him, ill health induced by exposure of chronic stress is due to the secretion of the hormone glucocorticoid.
