correctly describes why this situation is possible?
A) recurrent mutations form new alleles

D) there is a tendency for dominant alleles to segregate together
13) Let P = purple

What is the most likely reason chromosome mutation causes a disease? a) The translocation causes a break in the chromosome in a gene regulatory region. b) Chromosomes with a translocation cannot replicate. c) An individual with a translocation has some genes duplicated. d) An individual with a translocation has some genes missing.arrow_forwardIn the example shown , what is the underlying cause of nonallelichomologous recombination?arrow_forward
- From a cross between e+ f+ g+ and e− f − g− strains ofNeurospora, recombination between these linkedgenes resulted in a few octads containing the followingordered set of spores:e+ f+ g+e+ f+ g+e+ f − g+e+ f − g+e− f − g−e− f − g−e− f − g−e− f − g−a.

B) Crossover suppression occurs when no recombinant progeny are observed between two genes located within a homozygous paracentric inversion. C) The ends of each chromosome are replicated by an RNA-protein complex called telomerase. D) When a mismatched base pair occurs during DNA replication, mismatch repair corrects the mismatch by replacing the nucleotide on the template strand. E) Mutations occur spontaneously and so may be pre-existing in a population when a selective pressure arises.

The arginine biosynthetic pathway is: Enzyme A Enzyme B Enzyme Ç Compound X It is know that genes encoding enzymes A and C are on two different chromosomes. Compound Y Compound Z- Arginine A mutant strain of genotype a (lacking only enzyme A) is crossed to a mutant strain of genotype c (lacking only enzyme C) to generate a diploid strain. Sporulation (i.e. meiosis) is subsequently induced in the resulting diploid strain.
