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.

A ship sonar detects an echo 1.6s after it sends the pluse.The speed of sound in water in 1500mls work out how deep the water is
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

1200m

Explanation:

Let the depth of sea be x.

Given that the sound has to travel to the bottom of the sea and get reflected back to the ship itself, thus total distance traveled by the sound is 2x.

Time taken to hear an echo t=1.6 s

Therefore, 2x = vt

Hence, we have 2x =1500m/s × 1.6s

=> 2x = 2400

⟹ x = 2400 ÷ 2

= 1200m

Hence, the final answer is 1200m

A gene has the base sequence TAC CG. Give an example of a point mutation on this gene.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: An example of point mutation on the gene is TGC CG.

Explanation: Mutation is a permanent alteration in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. Point mutation is a type of mutation in which there is a change in only one nucleotide molecule in a DNA sequence. A point mutation can occur at any point in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA and can be as a result of replacement of one nucleotide molecule by another. For example, in the the sequence TAC CG, any of the nucleotides can be replaced by another nucleotide such as in TGC CG, Adenine is replaced by Guanine.
