Which of the following best predicts the phenotype of an individual who is homozygous for this TYR mutation?

A-The mutation will cause a single amino acid change in the TYR protein, which will not be enough to disrupt its function. Therefore, those with this mutation will produce melanin in the hair, skin, and eyes and tan in response to UV radiation.

B-The mutation will cause a single amino acid change in the TYR protein, leading to a nonfunctional TYR protein. Therefore, those with this mutation will lack melanin in the hair, skin, and eyes and will not tan in response to UV radiation.

C-The mutation will change all subsequent amino acids in the TYR protein, leading to nonfunctional TYR protein. Since the TRP1 and TRP2 genes were not affected, the TRP1 and TRP2 proteins will fill the role of the TYR protein. Therefore, those with this mutation will produce melanin in the hair, skin, and eyes in response to UV radiation.

D-The mutation will change all subsequent amino acids in the TYR protein, leading to nonfunctional TYR protein. Individuals with this mutation will lack melanin in their hair, skin, and eyes and will not tan in response to UV radiation.

What is the difference between the conducting zone and the respiratory zone of the respiratory system? the conducting zone is a series of cavities and tubes that move air to the respiratory zone where gases exchange with the bloodstream. the conducting zone exchanges gases between the lungs and the alveoli and the respiratory zone is a series of cavities and tubes that move air to the conducting zone. the conducting zone moves oxygen into the cells and the respiratory zone takes carbon dioxide away from the cells. the conducting zone moves oxygen into the bloodstream and the respiratory zone takes carbon dioxide away from the bloodstream.
