a mutant allele is found to have a mutation in the -35 element of the promoter region. the mutation makes the -35 element more similar to the -35 consensus sequence. which term best describes this allele? group of answer choices



Answer :

A mutant allele causing mutation in the -35 element of the promoter region and the mutation making the -35 element more similar to the -35-consensus sequence is termed hypermorphic.

Hypermorphic (genetics, of a mutation) causes an increase in otherwise normal gene function.

Hypermorphic alleles are pick up of work alleles. A hypermorph can result from an increment in quality measurements (a quality duplication), from expanded mRNA or protein expression, or from constitutive protein action.

The phenotype of a hypermorph is compounded by expanding the wildtype quality dosage and is decreased by bringing down the wildtype quality dose.

A change that decreases but doesn't kill a gene’s usefulness is hypomorphic. A more extreme condition, amorphic transformation, disposes of the gene’s work.

A hypomorph could be a diminishment in quality work through decreased (protein, RNA) expression or diminished useful execution, but not a total misfortune. The phenotype of a hypomorph is more serious in trans to an erasure allele than when homozygous.
