When the amino acid sequences of insulin isolated from different organisms were determined, some differences were noted. For exa

mple, alanine was substituted for threonine, serine was substituted for glycine, and valine was substituted for isoleucine at corresponding positions in the protein.
Which of the following single base changes would result in alanine being substituted for threonine?
A) A changed to C in the third position of the codon.
B) C changed to G in the second position of the codon.
C) A changed to G in the first position of the codon.

Answer:

C) A changed to G in the first position of the codon.

Explanation:

In the translation of DNA,  triplets  or codons of mRNA  (a group of three nucleotides) are read according to a genetic code, to build proteins.

Proteins are composed of amino acids. In the translation process, each codon codes for an particular amino acid according to the  genetic code as illustrated  in the DNA codon table (attached here).  

In this table we can see that if the first position  of any of the codons coding for Threonine ( ACT, ACC, ACA, ACG) is changed for G, Adenine is going to be encoded instead of threonine.

Sergio [31]
<span>Since a gene that acts as a pesticide is inserted into a corn, that corn is now safe from insects. This will happen because the corn will probably synthesise protein according to that inserted DNA sequence and that protein will serve as a repellent to the insects. However, the Red Queen's hypothesis in evolution explains that organisms must constantly adapt and evolve in order to survive. This refers to insects. If they could not eat genetically modified corn, they would extinct. So, they must adapt or evolve in order to survive. So, it is expected that insects that are resistant to this specific pesticide would develop through the time.</span>

Answer:

Purple colour arises due to the dominant alleles whereas white colour arises due to the recessive alleles.

For the purple colour to arise, even one of the dominant allele will be enough to cause the effect. On the other hand to see the recessive white trait, both the alleles of the gene should be recessive.

To ensure that only white flowers are grown, the farmers need to cross both white flowered plants to get the desired result.
