Answer:
The six codons for arginine are the following:
GCA, GCG, GCT, GCC, TCT, TCC
A) Considering the individual bases in each codon, three mutations are possible at each base position. Hence, 3 × 3 × 6 = 54 mutations are possible.
B) Considering the mutations at the 3rd base: 3 × 4 + 1 × 2 = 14 of these mutations are silent mutations.
C) Lysine codons are the following:
TTT, TTC
There are two possible mutations that can give a lys codon.
Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
Answer:
Atomic Number
Explanation:
The atomic number gives you the number of protons in a given element.
Heat is a form of energy.
Answer:
15.21 %
Explanation:
If we recall the basic formula of Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium ; we have the following below:
p + q = 1
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
where;
p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population
q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population
p² = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals
q² = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals
2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals
Given that p= 0.68 and q = 0.39
the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (q² ) will be
(0.39)² = 0.1521
= 0.1521 × 100
= 15.21 %
∴ the percentage of the population that has a homozygous recessive genotype = 15.21 %
