Answer:
The correct answer is: a.
Explanation:
- A Diploid organism possess two copies ( also called alleles) of each autosomal gene, of which one copy of the gene is obtained from one of its parents and the other copy from its other parent.
- During the process of replication, one of the alleles of the GTPase encoding gene undergoes a mis-sense mutation.
- A Mis-sense mutation can be defined as a non-synonymous mutation in which one of the nucleotide in the sequence of the gene gets altered such that it causes a change in the amino acid encoded by the codon (triplet nucleotide message encoding for a single amino acid) formed by the mutated nucleotide. A single amino acid change in the protein, if occurs in the functional site of the protein, can render a protein non-functional.
- Hence, the mis-sense mutation in one of the alleles encoding for the GTPase gene causes the resulting protein produced from the mutated allele to have drastically reduced function (1%).
- A heterozygous cell is one which has one copy of the normal allele and the other copy of the mutated allele of the GTPase encoding gene.
- As one copy of the normal GTPase allele is present in such an individual, it can produce the normal GTPase protein that can assist in the process of cell growth and division.
- Hence, the phenotype(expressed character) of the heterozygous cell will not be affected due to the mutation and it will be able to grow and divide normally.
Isn’t it 37.2 trillion cells if that is wrong sorry
Answer:
c. population
Explanation:
A localised group of organisms that belong to the same species is called Population. This can be a local population if the organisms stay at a particular place or a metapopulation if the organisms tend to move from one geographical location to another.
Answer:
B) nuclei of gland cells.
Explanation:
DNA carries the blueprint for the production of all the proteins including enzymes in human beings. Humans are eukaryotes and their DNA is present in the nucleus of their cells. All the cells that make the complex human body are derived from division in the zygote and therefore, are genetically identical and have the same DNA.
However, gene expression is regulated by the expression of specific genes in specific cells and at a different time of developmental stages. Amylase is the enzyme that digests starch in humans. Amylase is secreted by salivary glands. So, the nuclei of these glands would have genetic information for the synthesis of amylase.
Removal of introns and the splicing together of exons.
Introns are regions of the DNA code that do not code for amino acids; therefore, they need to be removed before the mRNA strand is translated. Exons are the parts of the strand that do code for proteins, so they need to be pieced together once the introns are removed.
