- Q9A red flower cross pollinates with a yellow flower. All of its offspring are red. Which type of inheritance is a represented in these flowers?complete dominancesex-linkedcodominance30s
- Q10Which of the following is true of mutations?a substitution mutation will not change the identity of the resulting amino acidall of these are true of mutationsan insertion mutation is likely to result in a frameshift mutation30s
- Q11Which 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 genemost gene mutations will result in positive effects that can add new traits into a population30s
