Answer:

He is either not carrying the gene for RP or the RP gene has mutated.

Explanation:

RP or Retina Pigmentosa is an eye defect inherited by a person from a parent. The disease is degenerative as the individual gradually loses his sight. It normally starts off as night-blindness and could go as bad as a total loss of sight.

The mutation of both the RPGR and RP2 genes which are responsible for the function and structure of light-reception in the eye accounts for most cases of Retina Pigmentosa disease.

horsena [70]
The function of the lens is that it allows light rays to focus into the retina. They are composed of fluids that contains lots of nutrients for the lens to gain from it and cleanses dirt if it comes in contact the eye. Overtime, this lens, will slowly degrade as its fluid will start to lose.

A sample of DNA is collected from an organism. It is analyzed and determined that 20% of the DNA is made up of the base adenine.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Thymine: 20%

Guanine: 30%

Cytosine: 30%

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule which states that the purine residues are equal to the pyrimidines residue in DNA sample which means A+G = T+C where A is adenine, G is guanine, C is cytosine and T is thymine. It is also known that A is always equal to T and C is equal to G.

So, A+G+T+C = 100

20+20+G+C

100-40 = G+C

60= G+C

as we know G is equal to C similarly A is equal to T

Thus, G = C= 30%

    A= T= 20%
