The DNA sequence of a gene changed from AACTTG to AACATG. What kind of mutation occurred.?

The DNA sequence of gene that change AACTTG to AACATG are called missense mutation. This is known as a process.


What kind of organism is a corn plant with a jellyfish gene that allows it to glow in the dark?

It is a transgenic organism. The jellyfish gene enables it to do something that corn plants do not normally do, due to the foreign gene (jellyfish gene) being spliced into it.


Why can recombinant DNA be expressed in any kind of organism even if it contains DNA from another species?

No, not every gene is transferable. It takes a bit of knowledge about what a particular gene codes for, and where it would correspond in the second organism.

Most cases of triple X syndrome are not inherited so it is not a dominant or recessive trait.

What kinds of somatic cell gene mutations can frequently lead to the first stages of cancer?

Proto-oncogene is the kind of somatic cell gene mutation that can lead to first stages of cancer. Proto-oncogene can lead to cellular transformation.


How may changes to genes that is mutation result in harmful beneficial or neutral effects to the organism?

Mutations are random changes so there is no way to predict what kind of effect they will have.

What kind of molecule produces the symptoms of cystic fibrosis?

CF is caused by a defective chloride ion channel. There's a mutation in gene that codes for the protein which forms the channel. Chloride ions pass through it.


Why do eukaryotes have introns in DNA?

As you might know, introns DNA is something you can called 'Junk Fragments'. It didn't contain any information. So its function as a protection to the coding fragment (exon...maybe i misspell it ). DNA is subjected to many kind of mutation caused by chemical compounds or physical cause (gamma rays, for example). With Intron, when there's a mutation, there's a high probability that the one which subjected to the mutation is intron not exon. This way, eukaryote cells might survive from genetic mutation. Human has a large number of intron in one gene. It cause human to survive from many kind of mutation.
