GENE

Genetic variation determines inherited  differences between individuals . Our height or eye color are inherited from our parents, but our phenotype is also affected by environment such as the food we eat (diet), drugs we take, toxins surrounding us, climate, location, culture, physical accidents and lifestyle.A person may inherit a gene to be tall, but poor diet during childhood may cause stunted growth.<span>A Plant may have the potential for strong growth, but if the soil does not have sufficient minerals, the plant may hardly grow at all.</span>

How do proteins utilize the energy from ATP?
Rashid [163]
Hello.

TP is a molecule with adenosine and three phosphate groups attached to it (adenosine triphosphate). To get energy from ATP, one of the bonds between the phosphates is broken, yielding energy and the molecule ADP - adenosine diphosphate, a molecule with adenosine and two phosphates. 

<span>In order to 'recharge' the molecule, a phosphate group is re-attached to ADP by ATP-synthase to yield ATP. In other words, energy is stored in the bonds between phosphates, and breaking the bond releases that energy.

Can you tell from this tree whether a C at position 15 evolved before or after a T at position 15? Explain your answer
Ratling [72]

The evolutionary tree is not observed here but it is possible to answer this question by observing which nucleotide is found in the root of the node. It indicates the first substitution.

<h3>What is an evolutionary tree?</h3>

A phylogenetic evolutionary tree is a diagram used to show the evolution of a given taxonomic group (for example, a group of species).

It is possible to trace the evolution of a given taxon by tracing the nucleotide substitution observed from a common ancestor.

In an evolutionary tree, the root of the node is represented by the common ancestor and therefore the presence of a particular nucleotide (either T or C) in that position can be considered as the ancestral character.
