Answer:
D
Explanation:
This involves a dihybrid inheritance I.e. two genes are being passed on. During meiosis, specifically, the Prophase stage, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) line side by side. According to the question, one chromosome contains A and B alleles and its homologue, received by the other parent carries a and b alleles. This means that the diploid individual has a genotype AaBb for that gene.
According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles separate independently of one another into gametes. I.e. allele A and a separates into the gametes without affecting alleles B and b of the other gene.
Crossing-over, which is the exchange of chromosomal segment occurs between the two homologues. Hence, the exchange of chromosomal segments containing alleles in the individual will possibly produce four gametes with the genotypes: AB, Ab, aB, ab.
Answer:
<h2>The changes that do not affect the function of a protein are called silent mutations.</h2>
Explanation:
As given here as a mutation occurs in an original DNA template that changes the DNA, by transcription this mutation passes into RNA and changes the RNA, but it does not change the protein sequence, it means that this mutation could be silent mutation.
Silent mutation is the mutation which cause the change of a base in that, after the mutation the codon codes for the same amino acid, or the amino acid which do no cause any change in the protein, hence these changes do not affect the function of a protein.
Answer:
b. locate replication sites.
Explanation:
During replication, the function of the enzyme DNA polymerase is to locate replication sites.
