humanity has a 95% probability of being extinct in 7,800,000 years
The Answer is the Intertidal Zone
Dominant' traits will actually disappear faster if they are disadvantageous.
Think about it: if everyone who has even a single copy of a particular allele is at a disadvantage (manifests the phenotype, in this case six fingers), then even single copies are selected against.
In the case of recessive traits, selection occurs only against homozygous carriers, who may be very rare if the allele itself is rare.
A concrete example would be something like Tay-Sachs disease. If the allele that causes this were dominant, every carrier would die before adulthood, and it would occur only as a very rare de novo mutation. But because it is recessive, it persists for now; heterozygous carriers have no disadvantage.
Answer:
these statements are true
B) Insertions or deletions of single base-pairs within a protein coding sequence probably change the amino acid sequence
D) Missense mutations always change the amino acid sequence encoded by a gene
E) Nucleotide substitutions outside of the coding sequence can affect the expression of a gene.
Explanation:
B) insertion or deletion of nucleotide in coding region of DNA can change the amino acid sequence encoded.
D) missense mutation means that the change in nucleotide sequence resulting in change in amino acid sequence encoded by gene.
E) A mutation may alter the promoter of a gene, thereby affecting the rate of transcription.
