1) Our genetic information is packed in 23 pairs of chromosomes. In these<span> chromosomes we have histones (proteins that help the DNA to be very compact) and the double helix of the DNA.

2)
Chromosome- </span>structured like an X; has a centromere in the middle -Nucleotide<span>- thymine, adenine, guanine, cytosine; they are the base pairs that form the double helix of the DNA

Allele- it's a variant form of a gene </span>(for example, in the gene that codes the color of the eyes the alleles possible are: blue, green, brown)

Gene- it's a sequence of nucleotides that code a protein with a certain function.

Genotype- is the genetic characteristics of an individual (the ones that pass of the parents to the children) (the individual has brown eyes but has an allele that "says" brown and the other blue<span>) 
</span>
Phenotype- the characteristics that we can observe on an individual; traits. (Theindividual has brown eyes)

<h2>Point mutation.</h2>

Explanation:

  • The protein will be unchanged.

Mutation is defined as a change in nucleotide sequence of a gene. When a single nucleotide is inserted,deleted or substituted in a DNA sequence, then the resulting mutation is classified as point mutation.

A gene contains two region- intron region and exon region.

The region that codes for a particular protein is called the exon and the region that separates two exons  and does not code for any protein is called the intron.

Most of the point mutations in the intron region are silent except if it is located at the splice site recognition sequence.

In the given situation the mutation is in the middle of the intron region so there is no chance of it being a splice site recognition sequence.  Hence the protein will remain unchanged.

Answer:

Bio means "life." It's a Greek root word for many vocabulary words such as biology (bio = life, logy = study, hence the study of life) and biography (bio = life, graphy = writing).
