If my memory serves me well, the most suitable from given above is:
a) testes → epididymis → vas deferens → urethra
1 Blue and yellow: 1 yellow
Let us assign the allele for Blue dragon color as B and that of Yellow dragon color as Y and create the punnet square below;
The phenotypic ratio will, therefore, be;
1 Yellow/Blue : 1 Yellow
Answer:
(A) A transversion base substitution causing a missense mutation
(B) A transition base substitution causing a silent mutation
(C) A transversion base substitution causing a silent mutation
Explanation:
There are two types of base substitutions, transversions and transitions. A transition is when the a purine base is substituted with another purine base or a pyrimidine base is substituted with a pyrimidine base (e.g. Purines - A to G; G to A; Pyrimidines - C to T; T to C). A transversion occurs when a purine base is substituted with a pyrimidine base or a pyrimidine base is substituted with a purine base (e.g. A to T; C to A).
There are three main types of mutations, these are missense mutations, nonsense mutations and silent mutations. Missense mutations occur when a base is changed and the codon now codes for a different amino acid to before the mutation. Nonsense mutations occur when a base is changed and now the codon codes for a stop codon causing a premature stop of the translation process. Silent mutations occur when a base is changed but the new codon still codes for the same amino acid as before the mutation.
