The structure of DNA was determined in the 1950s and the components of the genetic code, including transcription and translation, were deciphered in the 1960s and 1970s. It was determined that the genetic code is universal. Since the components of the genetic code are common to all organisms, which laboratory procedure could actually be performed from the options below? A) Hybrid species can be formed between plants and fungi.
B) Chimera organisms can be formed from two different species.
C) Genes from eukaryotes can be expressed in prokaryotic cells.
D) Plants can express the entire human genome in their leaf tissues.

Suppose a point mutation, such as a change from an adenine to a guanine, occurs in the genome of a human sperm cell. the mutation could occur in any region of a gene. the effect of the mutation on the phenotype of the offspring will be determined by where the mutation occurs and its effect on the final gene product. in which of the following scenarios could the mutation alter the phenotype of the offspring? select all of the scenarios that apply the mutation occurs in the promoter and affects the rate of gene transcription. the mutation results in a new, dominant allele the mutation occurs in a portion of an intron not responsible for exon splicing the mutation occurs in a gene that controls development and alters differentiation of a cell type during development. the mutation occurs in a codon and alters the function of the final protein e mutation occurs in a codon, and the amino acid sequence of the final protein is unchanged.
