Answer/Explanation:
Mendel could have crossed a true breeding (homozygous) brown fly with a true breeding (homozygous) black fly. BBx bb. The resulting offspring would all be Bb (heterozygous). If brown body color is dominant to black body color, all of these heterozygous flies would always be brown. This is because the brown allele is displayed over the black allele.
During translation to RNA, the nitrogen bases on the DNA molecule are translated to complementary RNA bases. Afterwards, these bases are again used to form amino acids.
Three bases make up a codon, which codes for a specific amino acid. If a base is changed, the codon will become changed. This will result in a different amino acid being produced in and the primary structure of the polypeptide will be altered.
