A gene with the sequence ATTCATTCA underwent duplication after a few generations. Which sequence represents this gene after the

mutation?

Ratling [72]3 years ago

Answer:

The sequence would be <u>ATTCATTCA</u>.

Explanation:

Usually, when a sequence is duplicated, one of them becomes a non-coding. It's just like a computer. There can only be one specific file, or else a duplicated one will just replace the existing one, if you allow the file to do so. Same with DNA. This is why most of our DNA have no function and why we lost genetic abilities such as being able to produce our own Vitamin C.

So instead of the new gene being ATTCATTCAATTCATTCA, it's simply ATTCATTCA. You simply cannot have duplicates, just like computer files. I wish I could share an amazing video by PBS Eons giving a great explanation about genes and stuff, but sadly Brainly doesn't like such stuff, so just <em>search up in ㄚㄖㄩㄒㄩ乃乇 (ebuTouY) "genes we lost along the way" and it should be the first video that pops out.</em> Trust me, it's a great video, it's much better than my explanation.

How does extinction affect evolution?
Semenov [28]
If a species is said to be extinct, then that species is reduced to zero. There are none living in existence. The affects to other organisms of its extinction would depend on their value to the ecosystem. Regardless, extinction completely stops evolution of the species extinct.

The genes R, E and D are independently assorting and control production of red pigment as follows (recessive alleles are not fun
Alona [7]

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

An individual must have all three dominant alleles to be red, in homozygosis or heterozygosis (R_E_D_).

<u>The parental cross was:</u>

RREEDD x rreedd

F1: RrEeDd

<u>The test cross</u> is between the RrEeDd indiviudals and homozygous recessive rreedd.

The genes assort independently, so we can use Mendel's law of segregation to predict separately for each gene the proportion of the offspring that will have the dominant alleles.

<h3><u>Rr x rr</u></h3>

1/2 Rr

1/2 rr

<h3><u>Ee x ee</u></h3>

1/2 Ee

1/2 ee

<h3><u>Dd x dd</u></h3>

1/2 Dd

1/2 dd

Genes are independent, so the probability of having a R_E_D_ offpsring is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of having a dominant allele for each gene:

1/2 (Rr) × 1/2 (Ee) × 1/2 (Dd)= 1/8
