A mutation is made once in every nucleotides copies

Biology

dimaraw [331]1 year ago

Explanation:

A mutation is made once in every <u>10 billion</u> nucleotides copied.

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes.

 

Further Explanation:

 

During reproduction other events, such as crossing over during mitosis and meiosis, mutations lead to increases in genetic variation. This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species. Mutations may be either beneficial or deleterious; they are maintained within cells, as they form new traits called alleles. Beneficial mutations may confer traits that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring a protective advantage- these phenotypic differences between organisms are called adaptations.

 

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

In some species of Drosophila, there are genes on the Y chromosome that are not on the X chromosome. Imagine that a new allele a
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Drosophila like the mammals possess X and Y chromosomes but as in males in which the XX is female and XY is male, the sex In Drosophila is not determined by the presence of Y chromosomes as a male determining factor are present on the autosomes.

However, the Y chromosome is important for males as they are involved in the formation of the sperms therefore the presence of Y is important. In the given question if the allele is present ion the Y chromosome which can reduce the size therefore the allele is passed on to the males only ans no females.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

the fly is female (Bridges 1921, 1925). Thus, XO Drosophila are sterile males. In flies, the Y chromosome is not involved in determining sex. Rather, it contains genes active in forming sperm in adults.

Likurg_2 [28]
<span>The answer should be 67.5gram

If Mary wants to consume 15% of her kcalories from protein, then the target calorie would be: 15% * </span><span>1800 kcal= 270kcal.
Every gram of protein will give about 4 kcal of energy. So, the protein needed in gram would be: 270kcal / (4kcal/gram)= 67.5 gram</span>

A grown tiger began its life as a single fertilized egg. Explain why a tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as
blsea [12.9K]
<span>A tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as a single fertilized egg because it developed through different stages from being a zygote (fertilized egg), to becoming an embryo (where it experiences intense cellular changes), to becoming a fetus (where it gains a great measure of cell specialization, and develops distinct tissues and organ systems). After birth, the tiger still undergoes further growth and development into adulthood. This is largely regulated by the expression of different genes at different times and also by environmental factors.</span>
