Opsins are proteins that are found in the light-sensing cells in the human eye. Different opsin proteins are sensitive to differ

ent colors of light. The instructions for creating the type of opsin sensitive to red light are found on a gene known as OPN1LW, which is on the X chromosome.
A genetic mutation in the OPN1LW gene can lead to a form of color blindness that affects a person's ability to detect red light. However, women have two copies of the X chromosome, and they have normal color vision if only one copy contains the mutation.

Why do women who carry one copy of the mutated gene still have normal color vision?
A.
The non-mutated OPN1LW gene makes enough opsin to allow the cells to detect red light.
B.
The body detects that a mutation has taken place, so it relies on the other copy of the chromosome for instructions.
C.
The mutated OPN1LW gene is repaired by the non-mutated gene on the other chromosome.
D.
The cell is able to use proteins other than opsin to detect red light when not enough opsin is produced.

Name two examples of catastrophic events which could lead to a mass extinction?
Lemur [1.5K]

Asteroid impact

Volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

Asteroid impact and volcanic eruptions are two common events that could lead to a mass extinction.

A mass extinction is an abrupt decrease in life on earth due some catastrophic event.

  • The collision of a large bolide on the surface of the earth is a catastrophe in itself.
  • The collision and its aftermath have destructive consequences on life.
  • The force of the collision can reverberate in form of vibration throughout the earth.
  • It can cause heating of the earth surface.
  • Volcanic eruptions can become global phenomenon that upsets the earth balance.
