During transcription the DNA base sequence is transcribed into a complementary mRNA sequence. A codon table like the one shown b
elow lists the amino acids coded for by particular triads of mRNA bases. A segment of DNA has undergone a mutation in which one nucleotide has been changed. The original sequence was ACG and the new sequence is ACA. Use the codon table to determine whether or not this mutation will cause a change in the phenotype of the organism. Group of answer choices
a. yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because a new amino acid will be coded for.
b. Even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.
c. It is impossible to determine if a change in phenotype will occur using only the DNA sequence.
d. yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because any change in the DNA sequence will cause a change in phenotype
b. Even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.
Explanation:
There is redundancy in the genetic code. That means that different codons can code for the same amino acids, so some mutations do not change the amino acid sequence of the protein.
Here, the amino acid is unchanged with the mutation.
If the amino acid sequence of the protein is the same, then the protein is not changed, so there will be no change in the phenotype
The answer is B. even if you fill out a Punnett Square there is still a possibility that it won't come out that way. for example there could be two dominant traits in a Punnett square instead of just one completely dominant trait. like BB and BB.
Among the many factors that modulate tension (vessels, heart strength, blood volume ...), the kidney plays a vital role because it makes an enzyme called renin that helps increase blood pressure and it regulates the outflow of sodium and water, which contribute to the elevation or diminution of blood pressure in the arteries.
The correct answer is stabilising selection. This is selection that favours an average trait value. It is thought that this sort of selection is very common as traits among most animals do not appear to change drastically over time. Stabilising selection selects against the extreme traits, and leads to a decrease in genetic diversity by favouring the average phenotypes.
