An animal inherits a mutation in a gene that produces dark pigment proteins that are expressed in the animal’s skin tissue. If the mutation terminates the gene’s ability to be expressed, what would be the most likely effect on the animal?

The skin of the animal will be lighter in shade.

Explanation:

The skin of the animal has genes which is responsible for producing darker shade of skin or pigmented skin.

If the gene for the darker skin or pigmented skin is not expressed then the effect of the gene on the animal skin will be that the skin will be fairer.

The skin of the animal depends on the gene that is expressed in his body. Based on this the skin color of the animal is decided.

the cells uses some of the atoms of the glucose molecules to atp molecules. the atoms of the glucose molecules will then be converted into energy which will be eventually stored in atp. the energy produced which are stored in atp are coming from the glucose’s chemical bonds.

1. amino acid refers to the fundamental building block of proteins, comprising of an amino group and a carboxyl group.

2. catalyst refers to any substance, which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

3. a complex molecule containing he genetic code is dna or deoxyribonucleic acid.

4. an enzyme refers to a molecule of protein, which is unique in accelerating up a particular chemical reaction in the biological systems.

5. nucleic acid refers to an sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases, for example, dna and rna.

6. a protein refers to a large, composite organic molecule comprising of a huge number of amino acids associated together with the of peptide bonds.

7. rna refers to a nucleic acid that takes part in the production of proteins.

8. substrate refers to a compound, which takes part in a chemical reaction, and is chemically modified by the reaction.
