Answer:

Explanation:

If the DNA codons are altered in an organism, the genetic code will be inaccurate. This will result in genetic mutations and disorders, depending on how drastic the change was. The two types of mutations are point mutations, that just replace one nucleotide. There's also frame shift mutations, where the amount of codons are incorrect.

Suppose the great, green galoofus lizard has 28 chromosomes in the nucleus of its unfertilized eggs. Predict how many chromosome
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: 56

Explanation:

Because an unfertilized egg has half the chromosomes of a fertilized egg. The fertilized egg then splits, and continues splitting until the lizard is born. Always remember, whenever a question  talking about an unfertilized egg, it has half the chromosomes of a fertilized egg. One more side note, it doesn’t matter what body part you talk about. A skin cell will have the same number, and identical chromosomes compared to a heart cell. (So long as it’s the same organism, if it isn’t, but part of the same species, it will have the same number of chromosomes, but it may have a unique set of chromosomes). If you want me to go into detail, I can, just respond to this answer.

Different forms of a given gene are known as
yulyashka [42]

Answer: alleles

Explanation:

Alleles are different forms of a given gene. Alleles are mutated forms of a given gene which controls a particular trait. For instance, the gene that codes for hemoglobin is denoted with the letter A but the gene has another variant denoted by S. In abnormal hemoglobin S (sickle hemoglobin), glutamate is replaced by valine at position 6 in the amino acid sequence of the two beta chains of hemoglobin. This change in the amino acid sequence causes the red blood cells to have a sickle shape resulting in sickle cell disease. Therefore hemoglobin A and S are alleles of a given gene.
