A theoretical protein, blue2, is coded for by the blu2 gene. This protein codes for a blue pigment used by the organism to prote

ct it from damaging UV rays from sunlight. The enzyme alterase binding to the blu2 operator halts transcription of blue2. A blu2 operator mutation causes a conformational change that does not allow alterase to bind to operator.

The question is:
What may be observed as a result of the described mutation in an individual? 

<span>1) Skin cancer due to UV rays </span>
<span>2) Darker blue pigmentation </span>
<span>3) A lack of alterase for other functions it may serve </span>
<span>4) The release of a different pigment color

The correct answer is B.
In this theoretical molecular cascade, we have three key parts, the blue2 gene, the blue2 operator and the enzyme alterase.
The enzyme alterase stops the expression of the blue2 gene by binding  to its operator, and therefore the blue pigment protein.
The blue2 operator has a specific binding spot for alterase. If this binding spot is changed due to a conformational change, the alterase would not be able to bind to the operator and the blue2 gene could express undisturbedly, resulting in increased concentration of the blue pigment protein.</span>

In a cladogram, when does a group of organisms branch off?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

A; when a new trait evolves

Explanation:

Each branch of a cladogram represents a species ending at a clade. A clade represents a group of organisms with a common ancestor. When a new trait evolves and the group is no longer the same species, it will branch off

How can DNA be useful in phylogeny? Question 14 options: A) DNA from every organism in a clade is sequenced to identify genetic
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B. DNA sequences from different species can be compared, giving us more information about their evolutionary relationships.

Explanation:

The study of the evolution of a species in a longer period of time and its evolutionary relation with other species is phylogeny. DNA is the basis of the molecular phylogeny of a species to find out the evolution of species.

Genetic mutations, a sequence of nucleotides, and other information of DNA helps in the establishment of divergence from common ancestry. By comparing the information it gives an idea about the evolutionary ancestry of two or more species.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

incomplete dominance

Explanation:

This is because incomplete dorminance is a type of inheritance pattern in which a dorminant allele does not completely masked the effect of recessive allele. The recessive allele is expressed little and the dorminant. Example is the nose size. The allele for big nose and recessive allele for small nose are not completely dorminant.
