Sickle-cell anemia is an example of codominance. What implications does this have for people with one or two copies of the sickl

e-cell gene?
A. People with two copies of the mutated gene have healthy red blood cells. People with one copy of the mutated gene don't have the disease but are carriers of the disease.
B. People with two copies of the mutated gene have sickle-cell anemia. People with one copy of the mutated gene have both healthy and misshapen red blood cells and are carriers of the disease.
C. People with two copies of the mutated gene are carriers of the disease. People with one copy of the mutated gene don't have the disease.
D. People with two copies of the mutated gene have sickle-cell anemia. People with one copy of the mutated gene have healthy red blood cells.

Answer: B - People with two copies of the mutated gene have sickle-cell anemia. People with one copy of the mutated gene have both healthy and misshapen red blood cells and are carriers of the disease.

Explanation:

Co-dominance is when both the alleles of a gene in a heterozygote show. In the case of sickle cell anemia (since it is a co-dominant trait) even if the person only has one sickle cell allele, symptoms of sickle cell will still show up in that person. That's why the person in this example has both misshapen and healthy red blood cells.

Generally speaking, which of the following mutations would most severely affect the protein coded for by a gene?a) a base substi
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Answer is C.

Explanation:

For A and B, a base substitution affects one of the three bases that comprise a codon, the DNA/RNA unit that corresponds to a particular amino acid. If one base is substituted, one codon and therefore one amino acid will be affected. Codons have built-in redundancy, so even by changing one base, the new codon sometimes still corresponds to the same amino acid. Therefore, a base substitution at most affects one amino acid, and sometimes doesn't affect it all.

Frameshift mutations cause a lot more trouble. These occur when you have a deletion or insertion that changes the number of bases in your gene. As a result, the "frame" of the codons changes (everything shifts one way or the other by the number of bases added/removed). This affects EVERY codon downstream of the mutation, so you can imagine that such a mutation would have a bigger effect the closer to the start of the gene it occurs. This is why C is correct.

ASAP Why is ATP used as an active energy source over glucose? A. It is more abundant in food sources. B. It releases its energy
Rudik [331]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Glucose is an organic molecule that stores ATP or energy while Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy-carrying molecule.

ATP used as an active energy source over glucose because ATP is a shorter process and releases energy in a single reaction as glucose first converted into ATP and then used as energy in cellular respiration.

Hence, the correct option is "B".
