DNA is necessary for the production of proteins as well as the regulation, metabolism, and reproduction of the cell.
Proteins help repair and build your body's tissues, coordinate bodily functions, and allow metabolic reactions to take place.
Structural, storage, hormonal, enzyme, etc.
Enzymes speed up the rate of a chemical reaction to help support life.
Lipases, amylase, lactase, deoxyribonuclease, etc.
Ionic compounds are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions, which result in higher melting points and electrical conductivity compared to covalent compounds. Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.
Gene regulation is the control of when and where proteins are made.
Hope this helps :)
When the bond between the second and third phosphate group is broken in ATP, ADP is formed and energy is released. This energy can power the cell's functions.
Answer:
(i) An allele is a variant of a gene, can either be short or tall.
Dominant = the tall allele that "trumps" the short allele. if a dominant and recessive allele is present (heterozygous) then the dominant phenotype will be shown.
(ii) David's eyes are Brown
(iii) Sarah's eyes are blue
(iv) David - B, b
Sarah - b, b
(v) Possible genotypes include Bb and bb. These give the phenotypes of brown eyes or blue eyes.
(vi) The chance for blue eyes is 50% (or 1:1 ratio)
