Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic mutation
Answer:
A new mutation
Explanation:
A mutation refers to the random changes in the DNA of organisms. A mutation changes the allele and genotype frequencies by the introduction of a new allele in the gene pool.
However, mutations are not the major factor responsible for changes in the gene pool of a population as mutations are rare. The rate of mutations is very slow and does not allow it to serve as a major factor to change the allele and genotype frequencies.
Answer:
a) False.
b) True.
c) False.
d) True.
e) False.
f) True
g) True.
Explanation:
a) The main characteristic of homologous chromosomes is that they have an equal size. There is a difference in size on both chromosomes.
b) In number one, two chromosomes are homologous. In number two also two chromosomes are homologous. On the other hand, the chromosomes at number one and two are different. Each chromosome has two sister chromatids.
c) A DNA molecule has a double helix, that is, two chains. When a DNA chain is broken and a chromatide has a DNA chain, then two chromatids make up a chromosome and a DNA chain, in this way there are eight dsDNA molecules
d) If each chromosome contains a centromere, therefore, there are four centromeres on all four chromosomes.
e) If a chromosome contains four telomeres, therefore there will be sixteen telomeres.
f) The function of cohesin is to regulate the separation of chromatids in the cell division process. When DNA replication is complete, the DNA compacts and condenses to form mitotic chromosomes.
g) The CENPA protein is encoded by the CENPA gene.
the answer is ribose and I go it from Gradpoint
