Many athletes and administrators fear the widespread use of gene doping—the use of gene therapy to modify genes that improve ath

letic performance. describe at least two genetic modifications that would improve the performance of an athlete. make sure to mention the body system(s) affected as well as the specific goal of the therapy.

YES THAT FIRST SENTENCE IS VERY TRUE.YES, GENE DOPING IS USED BY MANY ATHLETES AROUND THE WORLD.IT CAUSES SEVERAL EFFECTS LIKE:
 a) increased extraordinary hematocrit
 b) increased thrombotic activity
 c) autoimmune anemia,ETC.
 ANY TWO GENETIC MODIFICATIONS THAT WOULD IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ATHLETE ARE:
 a.gene therapy should be given to produce more hormones in the body.
 b. gene therapy is given to athletes because they have been used to study and model cancer (the oncomouse), obesity, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, substance abuse, anxiety, aging and Parkinson disease to check for the athletes.

Curly hair (C) is dominant over straight hair(c). a heterozygous curly haired woman marries a homozygous straight haired man. wi
omeli [17]

The woman's genotype is Cc (she's heterozygous)

The man's genotype is cc (he's homozygous)

If you make a punnet square it'll look like this (I hope it works out)

    <u>C</u>     <u>c</u>

<u>c</u>  <em>Cc   cc</em>

<u>c</u>  <em>Cc  cc</em>

Since curly hair (C) is dominant, any genotype with a capital C will have curly hair. This means 2/4 or 50% of children will have curly hair

Clue 1:
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The two problems that the transfer of information from DNA to protein must overcome are:

  • How to bring the information from the nuclear DNA to the place of protein synthesis?
  • How to convert this DNA information into amino acids and then into proteins?

Explanation:

The genetic information is found in the DNA and depends on a specific sequence of nitrogenous bases. This information is transcribed into the messenger RNA, whose base sequence is organized into triplets and codons, each of which encodes an amino acid, as well as establishing the pattern for starting and stopping the synthesis of a protein.

<h3>How to bring the information from the nuclear DNA to the place of protein synthesis? </h3>

The DNA must be transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), a process that occurs in the nucleus of the cell. mRNA leaves the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm, where amino acid synthesis will take place.

<h3>How to convert this DNA information into amino acids and then into proteins?</h3>

Once in the cytoplasm mRNA binds to ribosomes, structures in charge of translating the sequence of nitrogenous bases RNA to synthesize amino acids. The set of ribosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum are in charge of the assembly of amino acids to produce peptides and proteins.

O
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The DNA is made 4 nitrogenous bases. A (adenine) pairs with T (thymine) and are held by two hydrogen bonds. C (cytosine) pairs with G (guanine) and are held by three hydrogen bonds.

You might wanna remember this by the preposition 'at', which ultimately makes C and G together. Or you might wanna remember it by something like G- C<em>AT</em>.

Where are the 2 places that you can find the organelles Ribosomes
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Ribosomes are found 'free' in the cytoplasm or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to form rough ER. In a mammalian cell there can be as many as 10 million ribosomes. Several ribosomes can be attached to the same mRNA strand, this structure is called a polysome.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :D
