3. Explain a frameshift mutation

Biology
1 answer:
Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Frameshifts are caused by the addition or deletion of a nucleotide in the DNA sequence. It does not occur if there are three deletions or additions simultaneously (because codons are 3 nucleotides long). A frameshift mutation will cause the reading of the codons after the mutation to code for different amino acids. It also alters where the "stop" codons are located.

Genes A and B are located 10cM from each other on a chromosome. Gene C is located 25cM from gene A and 15cM from gene B. What is
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

0.235

Explanation:

Given

Distance between A and B = 0.10

Distance between B and C = 0.15

Distance between A and C = 0.25

The probability of double crossovers (DCO) are determined by the product of two single crossovers;

Therefore, the probability of a DCO = 0.10 * 0.15

= 0.015

= 1.5%

As the failure to detect a recombination is in DCO, the loci at 25cM will only show recombination at a frequency of:

25 - 1.5

= 23.5%

Hence, the probability that the trihybrid ABC/abc will produce any kind of recombinant gamete = 23.5% = 0.235

2.) Would a plant grow better in a room painted blue or in a room painted green? Explain your answer.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A blue room

Explanation:

Green light is the least effective for plants because they are themselves green due to the pigment Chlorophyll.. Blue light helps encourage vegetative leaf growth, and red light encourages flowers. this happens because the amount of blue, red and far red spectrum of light that reaches the planet changes with the seasons. As days start to get longer, more blue spectrum light reaches the surface of the earth. This initiates a vegetative growing stage for most plants leading into the spring and early summer. As the days start to grow shorter, and more of the red and far red spectrum reaches the surface, it leads into the late summer and fall reproductive season.

Alchen [17]
Because those hazardous waste products do not get into the crops, which we then eat so we would end up spreading them when we defecate, and then other creatures would pass on then feces (the dung beetles), and creatures would eat the beetles(probably coyotes), and then chain would keep on going.
