Your DNA sequence
Your genetic code
Your environmental factors / external factors
Your protein composition
SELECT ALL THAT APPLY: Which of the following are environmental factors that control gene expression?

Sun Exposure
DNA Sequence
In a family of pitbulls, all of the dogs have grey fur. Then, a puppy is born with black fur. Which of the following best explains how this new trait emerged?
A genetic mutation changed the puppy's fur color
Environmental factors changed the puppy's fur color
The puppy is missing a chromosome
The puppy has more DNA than the other dogs
Two twins have identical DNA. As one of them grows up, they get less nutrients, which makes them stop growing. What is causing them to be the shorter twin?
Differences in genetic code
Differences in gene expression
Differences in chromosome numbers
Differences in amount of DNA
Excessive exposure to sunlight can cause skin cancer. In this scenario, skin cancer is caused by:
External / environmental factors
The DNA sequence
The number of chromosomes in a cell
The amount of DNA in the nucleus
Transcribe the following DNA strand: CTG AAT
GAC TTA
CTG AAT
GAC UUA
CUG AAU
3'-GCT-5'
T-G-A-C-C-A
T-G-A-C-C-A-A
AGA-TTC-ATA-GCG
Mutant-
AGA-TTC-AAT-AGC-G
The mutated DNA segment is TTACGCAAC. This is an example of ___ mutation.
A substitution mutation that has no effect
on amino acids sequence
Insertion Mutation
Translocation
Silent Mutation
Deletion Mutation
A nucleotide base is inserted or deleted shifting the entire DNA sequence. Entire protein will be changed.
Substitution Mutation
Silent Mutation
Frameshift Mutation
Translocation
Why are insertion and deletion mutations so harmful?
They change all of the codons from the mutation on down the line, which changes the amino acid sequence
They insert things that an organism doesn't need.
They often delete things that organisms need.
Insertion and deletions are not any more harmful than substitution mutations.
