A scientist is breeding orange butterflies in the laboratory she notices a white butterfly in the latest generation of animals she sequences the genome of this butterfly in notices a mutation in the genes that calls for pigment in the wings. Explain how this mutation would result in a white butterfly.

Explanation:

A gene mutation can be defined as a permanent change in the DNA sequence that composes a gene, resulting in the observation that the sequence differs from what is obtainable in most individuals that make up the population. Mutations range from a change in a single DNA building block (change in the sequence of base pairs) to changes in a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes.

Mutation in the color of the wings of the housefly can be passed on to the next generation. If this trait enhances survival of the butterflies, the orange winged butterflies will eventual become extinct and become entirely replaced by the white winged butterflies. This implies that gene pool has been completely modified.

During photosynthesis, plants transform electromagnet energy from the sun into chemical energy.

Answer from: Quest

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form( $n_2$ ) .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.
