What is the difference between translocation and addition?
Setler79 [48]
The answer is

Recombination is an exchange between homologous chromosomes (e.g. chr 1 from mom x chr 1 from dad). Since it usually happens during meiosis, these strands are later separated. Recombination can be unequal or equal, but it's usually equal, and unequal crossovers are generally quite small (but a common source of addition/deletion).

Reciprocal translocation refers to an exchange between different chromosomes (e.g. chr 1 x chr 2). It is considered a large scale mutation (resulting in a large addition to one chromosome, and a large deletion in another).

Assume that the mutation rate for a given gene is 1 × 10−6 mutations per generation. For that gene, how many mutations would be
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

500

Explanation:

Mutation rate is largely known as changes that occur in the frequency of a particular gene over an extended period of time

So given that;

the  mutation rate of a particular gene = 1 × 10⁻⁶

The expected mutations after 500 million sperm are examined will be:

= (1 × 10⁻⁶)×(500,000,000)

= 500

Thus, The expected mutations  = 500

Define mutagen and describe how mutagens are used in genetic research.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

A mutagenic agent is any chemical, physical or biological compost that can induce a mutation in the cell's DNA, making this mutation pass to the next generation.

Mutagenic agents are widely used in the fields of biotechnology, genetic engineering, medicine and agroindustry. This is because these agents have helped in the advancement and development of new technological tools.  

In genetic research some bacteria and viruses are used by agribusiness companies to obtain transgenic beings. These mutagenic (biological) agents act as vectors of laboratory-created genes that will insert these genes into an organism to be modified. It could be, for example, a gene that will improve maize resistance against a pest. Thanks to mutagenic agents, this genetic information can be passed on to the organism, in this case, the plant.
