Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by different m

utations within the CFTR gene. One mutation in the CFTR gene that leads to cystic fibrosis causes translation to end earlier in the gene sequence. Which type of mutation causes this translation error that leads to cystic fibrosis?

Answer:

The type of mutation that causes this translation error is called deletion. Deletion occurs when a section of a DNA is deleted or lost. In cystic fibrosis, three nucleotides are deleted that results in the lost of phenylalanine

True [87]

Answer:

Gene: The hereditary material made up of alleles.

Alleles: The alternative forms of a gene.

Dominant: An allele or trait that masks the effect of recessive allele or trait.

Recessive: An allele or trait that gets suppressed by the dominant allele or trait.

genotype: The genome of a particular organism of the genes which make up an organism.

phenotype: The physical traits or characteristics of an organism.

test- cross: A cross in which the dominant and the recessive trait offsprings are crossed to depict whether the dominant organism is homozygous or heterozygous.

law of independent assortment: Alleles of different genes get assorted independently into gametes.

law of segregation: allele pairs segregate during gamete formation and unite at the time of fertilization.

product rule: Independent evens can be calculated by multiplying the independent probabilities.

Addition rule: The probability which shows that one event would occur in a mutually exclusive event.

co-dominant: When the dominant and the recessive trait occur and the organism shows both the characteristics of the dominant and the recessive trait.

incomplete dominance: when the dominant trait is not fully dominant over the recessive trait. As a result, individuals are produced which show neither the dominant or the recessive trait. A new trait is developed in them.

Which traits are challenges of life for all organisms? Choose all answers that are correct.
Varvara68 [4.7K]
<span><span>a.   </span>Reproducing</span>
d. maintaining structure
f. obtaining energy

These three traits definitely standout as a challenge for every living creature in the ecosystem. In Darwin’s Natural Selection Survival of the fittest: being fit is one category in order to survive the wild, in other words, being flexible. Reproduction is battle royale in both humans and animals, even for plants too. Why? Because the ecosystem changes, the weather changes, the food chain is a combat to chase. Some can’t even reproduce due to hereditary or physical causes. Energy is as important as living. If plants can make their own food how about the carnivores and the omnivores. Food is a challenge. Structure is sustaining the capacity and ability to hunt and survive. Important and a by-product of obtaining energy.
