Answer: Point mutation is easily reversible, thus non-lethal
Explanation:
Point mutation is caused by exchange of a single nucleotide for another. These change is called
1) Transition (when a purine base substitute another purine base, or pyrimidine bases substitute each other)
2) Transversion (when a purine base substitute a pyrimidine base).
However, note that a point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation; so, the claim that a nucleotide difference in the Hsr12 gene caused the human disease is inaccurate
Answer:
The correct answer is B. <em>Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean</em>
Explanation:
When two oceanic plates collide, it occurs oceanic convergence. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate, and at this point, it starts the volcanic activity. As the thicker plate descends, it is heated and melted and its materials are incorporated into the mantle. The fast subduction originates magma that ascends to the surface by crevices. This makes place to the formation of grouped volcanic islands, the island arches. Subduction zones coincide with deep-sea trenches or depressions in the ocean bed. The volcanic islands are arranged in a circumference arch shape, which is bordered by a fossa. Most of these are located in the western Pacific, where the pacific crust is older and thicker, and hence it submerges easier in the mantle.
The Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean are examples of these volcanic islands.
Answer:
Explanation:
A woman with type A blood (whose father was type O) meaning her genotype is AO mates with
Man that has type O blood (OO genotype)
Both are heterozygous for MN blood group and both also heterozygous for the FUT1 gene controlling the synthesis of the H substance (Hh)- which determines the expression of the A and B antigen.
Cross
A O M N H h
O AO OO M MM MN H HH Hh
O AO OO N MN NN h Hh hh
Type A- 1/2 O-1/2 type M- 1/4 MN-1/2 N- 1/4, type H- 3/4 h-1/4
Type A with M antigen:
1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32
Type A with M and N antigens:
1/2*1/2*3/4 = 3/16
Type A with N antigen:
1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32
Type O with M antigen:
1/2*1/4*3/4= 3/32
Type O with M and N antigens:
1/2*1/2*3/4 = 3/16
Type O with N antigen:
1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32.
The 3/4 value comes from the expression of Hh-3/4 (this determines if the A and B Angie will be expressed).
They are inherited from different parents
