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

mutation?
Biology

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.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: Diploid; 2n

Explanation:

In many species, there are two representatives of each chromosome. In such species, the characteristic number of chromosomes is called the DIPLOID number. It is usually symbolized as 2n.

The two basic sets of chromosomes is called Homologous chromosomes, being two, it is called DIPLOID NUMBER (if one, it is Haploid number) and symbolized by 2n.

Species like man expresses the diploid number, so is a diploid specie

Is the phenotype that corresponds to the HbS allele harmful, beneficial, or both?
horrorfan [7]

Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles.

<h3>What is phenotype?</h3>

Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles. We will recall that the HbS allele is responsioble for the anemia that results from sickle shaped red blood cells.

This phenotype is both harmfull and benefical in the sense that it leads to the agglutination of the red blood cells in individuals that have this phenotype and eventual crisis. Also, it is beneficaila in that nthose who possess this phenotype do not suffer from malaria in the tropics.
