Question

please answer all 5! thank you!

Question 1 1 pts Which of these individuals would be considered a 'mutant'? A person with an XO sex chromosome genotype The recessive allele for a straight hairline in humans A population of sunflowers which produce unique, red/orange petals, native to the southeastern tip of Kansas A turtle carrying an allele enabling it to wield a pair of daggers, present in only 0.0001% of the turtle population. Allele is expressed in dominant form prior to maturity. Question 2 1 pts Out of these mutations, which would change the amino acid sequence in the resulting protein the least? Frameshift Nonesense Missense Silent

Answer 1

1. A turtle carrying an allele enabling it to wield a pair of daggers present in only 0.00001 of the turtle population. Allele is expressed in dominant form prior to maturity.
2. Silent mutation (does not have much effect on amino acids or protein sequence)
3. Polymerase fails to correct a mismatch in replication (rest options are induced mutation caused by a mutagen)
4. Ultraviolet light (UV light has been known to affect skin cells)
5. oncogene
