Answer:

Instead of arginine codon, proline condon would be coded.

Explanation:

GCA encodes codes for glycine while on the other hand codon to GGU, GGC, or GGG encodes for glycine.

This substitution will lead to generation of complementary code “Proline” in the complementary mRNA or DNA strand.  

The codon CCT, CCC, CCA, CCG encodes for proline. If this mutation would not have occurred then Arginine would have been encoded in the complementary codon  with base structure of CGT, CGC, CGA, CGG

Answer:

Brown is the dominant gene and white is the recessive gene.

Explanation:

If brown were to be dominant then the mice would most likely all be brown unless the got both a white from mom and dad which is most likely due to brown being recessive the dad could be part white you just wouldn't see it. And since the mother is white all of the mice get a white gene from the mom and since the dad most likely has a white gene hidden inside of him only tow mice became fully white while the siblings were brown.

Hope this helps.

SIZIF [17.4K]
The garden plants and snails stay balanced as they are still being eaten. However, if the cat is removed, the birds will overpopulate and then the snail would be eaten and decrease faster which gives garden plants an increase in population due to the decrease in snails. Hope this helps!
