    sex-linked
    codominance
    30s
  • Q10
    Which of the following is true of mutations?
    a substitution mutation will not change the identity of the resulting amino acid
    all of these are true of mutations
    an insertion mutation is likely to result in a frameshift mutation
    30s
  • Q11
    Which of the following is true of mutations?
    a deletion mutation is one where a nucleotide is removed from the genetic code causing all other nucleotide to be pushed forward by one.
    a substitution mutation is very likely to result in a frameshift mutation because it substitutes one gene for another gene
    most gene mutations will result in positive effects that can add new traits into a population
