Which statement best explains how mutations change the shape of flu virus antigens, preventing the attachment of antibodies?

Biology
1 answer:
Setler79 [48]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. Mutations change the nucleotide sequence of the gene, resulting in a different arrangement of amino acids.

Explanation:

Mutations alter the sequence of nucleotides in a molecule of DNA. DNA is used to create mRNA, which is used to create a chain of amino acids that make a protein. If the mutation changes the sequence of DNA, then the sequence of amino acids and the final protein will be different.

This can affect its structure and function. If the protein is a cell surface protein, and its structure is significantly altered, antibodies may no longer recognise and bind to the protein.

I need help with the image (phenotypes and genotypes).
Flauer [41]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. <u>Only one phenotype</u> is present in the F1 generation offspring. Since tallness was dominant over shortness, all the offspring in the F1 generation appeared tall.

2. <u>Two phenotypes </u>are present in the F2 generation - 9 tall and 3 short. The short trait reappeared at the F2 generation.

3. The genotype of the F1 offspring would be heterozygous. Assuming the purebred tall is AA and the purebred short is aa:

     AA   x   aa

  Aa   Aa   Aa   Aa

All the F1 offspring will appear tall and their genotypes would be heterozygous.

4. Assuming that the allele for height is denoted with A (a), <u>the genotype of the purebred tall plant would be AA. </u>

5. In a similia vein, <u>the genotype of the purebred short plant would be aa. </u>
