Q: How many copies of a gene does the other parent contribute to each of the offspring?

A: Genes are responsible for the expression of traits. If genes have multiple copies, they are referred…

Q: Where do new alleles come from?

Q: How mutations and the resulting alleles affect an organism’s phenotype ?

A: By changing a gene's directions for making a protein, a transformation can make the protein…

Q: What is the passing of genetic information from one generation to the next

A: The flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA) to protein is described by…

A: Genetic is the branch of science that deals with genetic material like genome, genes, DNA, and…

Q: How are the alleles of a gene different from each other? What is its importance?

A: Alleles are different variants of the same gene that are genetically different . For example, a gene…

Q: What is fitness concerned with a particulargenotype ?

A: Evolution is the process by which an organism inherits or adapts favourable characteristics that…

Q: What are genes with more than one common allele?

Q: What is the relationship of the gene to the trait?

A: Gene is a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring which determine some…

Q: What is the phenomenon of a single gene determining a number of distinct and seemingly unrelated…

A: Introduction: Gene is a segment of DNA that determines the phenotypic characteristics of the…

Q: What is the relationship between DNA sequences and different Alleles?

A: DNA sequences :- DNA sequences  determines the order of DNA nucleotides, or bases, in a genome or…

Q: How do the mechanisms of DNA inheritance change the phenotype of an offspring compared to the…

A: The most fundamental feature of living things is to reproduce. Every organism has an inherent…

Q: What is the difference between homozygous recessive and homozygous?

A: The collection of genes in an individual is called genotypes. Each trait is coded by a pair of…

Q: What is the relationship between the proximity of two genes and their inheritance?

A: The proximity of the two genes has great importance in inheritance of the genes.  This proximity is…

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
