What does it mean when we say a gene is "turned off"? What does it mean when we say a gene is "turned off"? The gene is now acti

Answer:

The gene cannot be transcribed and translated into a protein.

Explanation:

Turning off a gene means the gene cannot be transcribed and translated into a protein.

Turning off of genes is a form of gene regulation, a process that controls which genes are expressed or not expressed in a cell.

<u>The expression of genes requires that they are first transcribed from DNA to mRNA in the nucleus and then moved to cytoplasm where they are translated into proteins by the ribosome.</u>

Hence, a gene that will not be expressed has to be stopped from being transcribed amd translated by being turned off by the gene regulation process of the cell.

Answer:

A GENE IS SAID TO BE TURN UP WHEN THEY GENE CANNOT BE TRANSCRIBED AND TRANSLATED INTO A PROTEIN.

Explanation:

Genes can be turned on and off bu cells which is the process of gene regulation. Gene regulation involves the mechanisms used by cells to induce or repress the expression of a gene which is an important part of normal development. Gene regulation involves structural changes made to the gene to ensure transcription occur or prevent transcription, the genes can be bound to a specific DNA receptor and the mechanism that modifies translation of mRNA. Gene regulation helps the cell determine which gene to be transcribed and the number of protein molecules to be made at any given time. Gene regulation occurs at any point of gene expression but its most common during transcription of DNA to an mRNA molecule. Signals from the environment activates transcription factors which determines the process of transcription by binding to the regulatory regions of the genes.

How did the extinction of the dinosaurs affect the evolution of mammals
Ivahew [28]

After the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs (birds being the only surviving dinosaurs) and several mammalian groups, placental and marsupial mammals diversified into many new forms and ecological niches throughout the Paleogene and Neogene, by the end of which all modern orders had appeared.

I belive they studied rocks because that is what geological stands for.However they also studied glaciers and ice caps for seeds that contained pollen. The prehistoric 4imes often help us understand out history.

In 1953, the scientists James Watson and Francis Crick published their landmark findings on the structure of DNA. Watson and Cri
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The correct selection of answers to the question: Identify the pieces of evidence describing the features of DNA that Watson and Crick used to determine the structure of DNA, would be:

C: The two chains are parallel, both running in a 5´ to 3´ direction

D: A purine base forms hydrogen bonds to pair with a pyrimidine base located on the opposite DNA strand. Specifically, A pairs with T, and C pairs with G.

E: The sugar-phosphate backbones of each DNA helix run antiparallel to one another

F: The diameter of the DNA doube helix is 2 nm, with each purine-pyrimidine base pair spanning an equivalent distance between the two chains.

Explanation:

Although Watson´s and Crick´s research, and model of the DNA helix, became the breakthrough for science, as it visually presented the now known characteristics of DNA, this research was possible due to the way that these two researchers used previous information found by other scientist on the molecule, to finally build their model. All of the options that were selected were part of the research of several scientis, including Mendel, Rosalin Franklin, Linus Pauling, Maurice Wilkins, Oswald Avery and many others, who worked on different aspects of specimens and their specific characteristics, and which led them to discover that organisms possessed DNA, that this was the unit of information that directed all functions in living cells and how this DNA helix was chemically built to understand how it worked, and why it worked the way it did.
