marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects connective tissue, leading to abnormal skeletal development, lens deformities in the eyes, and heart complications. the disorder is caused by a mutation in the fbn1 gene. the following dna sequences show a section of the fbn1 gene in an unaffected individual and an individual with marfan syndrome.unaffected individual: ccg-ccg-cttindividual with marfan syndrome: cgg-ccg-ctt marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, so the mutation that causes it is a somatican inherited mutation. according to the dna sequences shown, marfan syndrome can be caused by a mutation in the fbn1 gene. this mutation is likely a beneficialneutralharmful mutation.

Marfan syndrome can be caused by a substitution mutation in the FBN1 gene. This mutation is likely a harmful mutation.

From the DNA sequence of unaffected individual and  

individual with Marfan syndrome we can see that C is substituted with G. Each parent with the Marfan syndrome has a 50% risk of passing the genetic defect on to offspring because of its autosomal dominant nature, so the mutation is harmful.

There are 3 boxes to fill. I just took the test and got it right.

1. an inherited

2. substitution

3. harmful

Explanation:

the function of the protein macromolecule is to move things in and out of the cell and transport other molecules in the body. there are many functions of proteins. they are the basic building blocks of living things and are responsible for the growth and repair of body cells and tissues.

explanation:

substitution is the answer in this case
