If a mutation occurred that increased the number of exons in a sequence of DNA, what impact would this have on the protein forme
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>An increase in the number of exons in a sequence of DNA would result in another protein with a longer amino acid sequence.</em>

<u>Exons are the coding part of a gene as opposed to introns. After transcription, the non-coding part of the gene - the introns - are removed by splicing and the exons are joined back together. The final RNA that will undergo translation consists of only exons. </u>

The longer the exons in a gene, the more the codons present in the corresponding mRNA from the gene, and the more the number of amino acids that would be translated from the mRNA. A longer amino acid chain would result in a different protein.

Hence, a mutation that causes an increase in the number of exons in a sequence of DNA would result in a different protein with a longer amino acid sequence.

Genetic variation helps populations adapt to a changing
timama [110]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is the kind of reproduction that requires two organisms (male and female) to form an offspring. The male organism produces gametes called SPERM while the female organism produces gametes called EGG. These two gametes come together in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a zygote, which develops into an offspring.

In sexual reproduction, gametes are produced by organisms involved via a process called MEIOSIS. Meiosis, however, reduces the chromosome number of the gametes by half. However, one process unique to only meiosis and sexual reproduction is called CROSSING OVER.

Crossing over is the process whereby chromosome segments is exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosome. This process causes a recombination of chromosomes (alleles) in such a way that the gametes will be genetically different from the parent organisms (genetic variation). According to this question, sexual reproduction leads to more genetic variation than asexual reproduction due to the process of CROSSING OVER that occurs in sexual reproduction.
