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.

If 1000 f2 offspring are obtained, how many flies of each phenotype are expected?
aniked [119]
<span>In Drosophila + indicates wild-type allele for any gene, m is mahogany and e is ebony. Female parents are m+/m+ and males are +e/+e. F1 are m+/+e, all wild type. F1 females are crossed with me/me males - the test cross. Offspring will be : non recombinant m+/me, mahogany wild type or +e/me wild type ebony. OR recombinant me/me mahogany ebony or ++/++ wild type. As the two genes are 25 map units apart, the percentage of recombinants will be 25% and therefore percentage parental types will be 75%. 75% 1000 is 750. There are two parental types, so you would expect 375 of each. Therefore, you would expect 375 m+/me and 375 +e/me. 25% of 1000 is 250 split between two recombinants =125 of each. Therefore you would expect 135 me/me and 125 ++/++</span>

The theory of plate tectonics:
sertanlavr [38]

A) .was immediately accepted

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics was immediately recognized as the explanation for the moving continents. It provided a more scientific background as why continents drift apart and the seafloor keeps spreading.

  • The theory explains that the earth is broken up into series of slabs called lithosphere which moves on the weak, ductile and fluid asthenosphere.
  • The movement of part of the earth mantle provided the mechanism through which the lithosphere moves. This is now known as the mantle convection.
  • This theory provided a scientific mechanism through which the plate moves and seafloor spreads.
  • It was immediately accepted when the theory was propounded by Alfred Holmes in the 1930s
