What is a gene?

  • According to Mendel something was being stably passed down, unchanged, from parent to offspring through the gametes, over successive generations. He called these things as ‘factors’ now called as genes. Genes, therefore, are the units of inheritance.
  • They contain the information that is required to express a particular trait in an organism.
  • Genes which code for a pair of contrasting traits are known as alleles, i.e., they are slightly different forms of the same gene.
  • There is no ambiguity that the genes are located on the DNA, it is difficult to literally define a gene in terms of DNA sequence.
  • The DNA sequence coding for tRNA or rRNA molecule also defines a gene. A cistron is defined as a segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide, the structural gene in a transcription unit could be said as monocistronic (mostly in eukaryotes) or polycistronic (mostly in bacteria or prokaryotes).

a mother that carries the colorblind allele and a father with normal vision can have children that are only a) normal boys and n
erma4kov [3.2K]
If the father had the gene BB (purebred & not carrying colourblind allele), then the answer will be a). All of their children will have normal vision with half of them carrying the colourblind allele.
If the father had the gene Bb (hydrid & carrying colourblind allele), then the answer will be d). 3/4 of their children would have normal vision whilst the last quarter would have colourblind males. This is due to them having to receive one colourblind allele from their mother on the X chromosome & one colourblind allele from their father on the Y chromosome.

What can be said about DNA replication
Andre45 [30]
DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.
