The Piebald trait I find to be dominant if you have inherited the disorder. But if you have not inherited the disorder then you are less likely to pass it through generations. But if you do have the disorder then in my eyes you are very likely to find that fifty percent of your children will have it.
I think by the details in the chart I have the piebald trait is more related to autosome. My reasoning for this is that if it was x-rated inheritance then the father could not pass it to their sons and as you can see in this chart Adam has passed it to his son Paul making me question X-chromosome. Whereas with autosomal dominant disease if you inherit the abnormal disease from one parent then you are more likely to be infected and also with this there is a fifty percentage chance that a parent with this condition will have at least half their children with the same condition. As in this chart you will see Adam has 2 out of 4 children with this condition.

As Steve has been infected with the abnormal gene he is fifty percent likely to pass onto his children. PB being unaffected gene and pb being the affected gene.

Question 2
CAC AAA TGG TTT CCC AGA AAC AGG CTG
The template strand for this exon is:
GTG TTT ACC CTC AAA GGG TCT TTG TTC GTC
The RNA sequence is:
CAC AAA UGG GAG UUU CCC AGA AAC AAG CUG

Corresponding amino acids to the sequence

              CAC   AAA   TGG   TTT   CCC   AGA   AAC   AGG   CTG
Amino   His     Lys     Trp   Phe   Pro   Arg     Asn   Arg     Leu

This mutation will raise certain proteins meaning he will get more of certain proteins.

Genetic Code

Genetic Code is firmly known as a group of rules to which DNA or mRNA and these are converted into a protein by the living cells....
