Mutations present permanent and heritable changes in the genome. We distinguish gene and chromosome mutations. Mutations in the level of genes are called point mutations because only one to several nucleotides are changed. These processes are known as deletion, insertion, and substitution. Deletion presents a loss of nucleotides which changes DNA sequence. When new nucleotides are embedded in the DNA chain, it is known as insertion. Substitution implies the process where new nucleotides are inserted while the ones that were present in that specific spot in a DNA molecule are deleted.
Mutations can also appear in chromosomes altering their number and structure. There are four types of mutations - deletion, duplication, inversion, and translocation. In deletion, a whole or one part of a chromosome is lost. Duplication presents an extra copy of a whole or one part of a chromosome. In an inversion, parts of a chromosome change order, while in translocation a part of one chromosome detaches and then connects to another.
hope this helps
She is more likely tp have it for about 50%
Answer:
1. A-C-G-G-T is <u>duplication</u>.
2. C-G-T is <u>deletion</u>.
3. A-G-C-T is <u>reordering</u>.
Explanation:
Your original sequence is ACGT. You compare the original sequence to the 3 mutations.
1. There 2 G's now, which means that the G has been duplicated.
2. The A is now gone in the front of the sequence.
3. The C and G were switched.
Answer:
b. mRNA from DNA
Explanation:
Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA using a DNA template strand. The process of transcription occurs inside the nucleus in eukaryotes as their DNA is present in the nucleus.
The process includes unwinding of DNA double helix to expose the DNA template strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the specific start sites on the DNA template strand and starts making its RNA copy.
The newly formed RNA undergoes modification in eukaryotes before serving as a template for protein synthesis. However, in prokaryotes, the process of transcription and translation can occur simultaneously.
Answer:
D. Small population size
Explanation:
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium requires the presence of a large randomly mating population. Small population size makes the population more likely to deviate from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to sampling error or chance events occurring during the genetic drift. Large population size ensures that the population maintains the constant allele frequencies over generations, that is the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
