Question

The correct answer is: e. Coding region, silent Explanation The mutation described is a change from T to A at position (iii). This mutation occurs in the coding region of the gene, which is the part of the gene that codes for a protein. A silent mutation is a type of mutation in which the change in the nucleotide does not result in a change in the amino acid that is coded for. This is possible due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, where multiple codons can code for the same amino acid. In this case, the mutation from T to A at position (iii) does not change the amino acid that is coded for, hence it is a silent mutation. This mutation would not affect the expression of the white gene, and therefore would not affect the eye color of the Drosophila.

          The correct answer is:
e. Coding region, silent
Explanation
The mutation described is a change from T to A at position (iii). This mutation occurs in the coding region of the gene, which is the part of the gene that codes for a protein.
A silent mutation is a type of mutation in which the change in the nucleotide does not result in a change in the amino acid that is coded for. This is possible due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, where multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.
In this case, the mutation from T to A at position (iii) does not change the amino acid that is coded for, hence it is a silent mutation.
This mutation would not affect the expression of the white gene, and therefore would not affect the eye color of the Drosophila.
