Answer:

The correct answer is "stop codon"

Explanation:

Codon is a trinucleotide (three nucleotides) sequence that translates to a specific amino acid or stops the translation of genetic sequence to amino acids. There is a codon table that is usually used to determine the corresponding protein.

However, a sequence of DNA or RNA sequence will have 3 nucleotides (codons) each been translated to a specific amino acid. For example, the sequence below can be translated as follows

5' - UAUGGAUUUAGACACUAG -3'

UAU - Tyrosine

GGA -Glycine

UUU - Phenylalanine

AGA - Arginine

CAC - Histidine

UAG - stop codon

<u>The stop codon is a codon that doesn't code for any amino acid and signals the stop of protein synthesis/gene translation of a sequence</u>. There are three stop codons which are UAG, UGA and UAA.

o-na [289]

Explanation: XX because she is female. Since she is not color blind one of the pair has to be XC. Since she is a carrier of color blindness she has to have the recessive gene as well, so the other has to be Xc.

Different forms of a given gene are known as
yulyashka [42]

Answer: alleles

Explanation:

Alleles are different forms of a given gene. Alleles are mutated forms of a given gene which controls a particular trait. For instance, the gene that codes for hemoglobin is denoted with the letter A but the gene has another variant denoted by S. In abnormal hemoglobin S (sickle hemoglobin), glutamate is replaced by valine at position 6 in the amino acid sequence of the two beta chains of hemoglobin. This change in the amino acid sequence causes the red blood cells to have a sickle shape resulting in sickle cell disease. Therefore hemoglobin A and S are alleles of a given gene.
