Answer:
mRNA: 3' AUG-AAU-GCU-GCC-GGU-GA-5'
amino acids : methionine, asparagine, alanine, arginine, proline
type of mutation: deletion, missense
Explanation:
The mRNA sequence is complementary to the DNA sequence. A always pairs with T, C always pairs with G. Except this is an RNA sequence not a DNA sequence, so T is replaced with U.
The mRNA sequence is translated into an amino acid sequence based on the triplet code. The triplet code for this sequence is shown in the attached picture. Each triplet signifies a specific amino acid. The codon can be identified from the table and placed in sequence. We can see that the new DNA strand has caused a new amino acid sequence. It has also left us with an incomplete sequence, as GA cannot signify an amino acid.
The type of mutation is a single base deletion. We can see that the base C is missing from the 9th amino acid in the original strand. As you can see, this has an ongoing affect on all the bases in the rest of the sequence, as it changes the way the sequence is organised into codons. This results in a missense mutation.
Answer:
cant really answer much since you need the class results for these. but i can simplify question 1. so, does the class results prove that the traits made my dominant alleles are the most common? or in other words, are traits made by dominant alleles most common in the class results?
number 4 is yes because there are more possibilities that the dominant trait will occur than the recessive trait. therefore, it is more common and the conception is correct
Answer:
Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.
Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.
For example, in snapdragons:
The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.
However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.
Hope this helped!
