Mendel determined that for a given character(i.e. pea seed shape) an individual has two factors that these can exist in two form

s (R or r). Today we would describe R and r as being:______.
a. different alleles of the seed shape gene.
b. different genes of the seed shape locus.
c. different genotypes of the seed shape character.
d. different loci of the seed shape gene.

Answer:

a. different alleles of the seed shape gene.

Explanation:

Mendel crossed different varieties of pea plants and he observed how phenotypic traits passed to the progeny. From these experiments, Mendel formulated the 'First Law of Segregation', where he observed that traits may exist in pairs that segregate (separate) at meiosis. During meiosis, i.e., gamete formation, these two factors separate from each other, thereby each gamete has the same probability of receiving either factor. Nowadays, we know that these two factors represent two different gene variants or 'alleles' for a given gene <em>locus</em>. Alleles can be classified into dominant or recessive as in the example above described, where the R factor (round) dominates on the r factor (wrinkled) to determine the seed shape.

What general type of mutation has the greatest effect on the protein produce
Lyrx [107]

Answer: The most serious of these mutations will be the insertion of 2 bases. Becasue the genetic code is read in triplets, a 2 base insetion will alter the reading frame of the code causing a frameshift mutation meaning every amino acid after the site of the mutation will be incorrect.

Is it ethical to make changes to human DNA? What are the dangers of this?
vazorg [7]

Answer: It may be unethical to some people due to their beliefs. But as science evolves,genetic engineering has made it possible for us to modify many things,including human DNA. To me,changing human DNA is ethical. Changes in DNA bring many positive consequences,for example lower the risk of many deadly diseases(cancer/cystic fibrosis,etc). We can modify our features and create "a perfect human". But,there are some dangers that come with this power. For example,DNA modification could go wrong and create dangerous species
