Alecsey [184]3 years ago

The genes, which are part of DNA, contain the<u> genetic information</u> inherited from the parents determine the traits of an organism.

The ‘complete set of all the genes and the DNA’ is called the genome which stores the entire set of information of how an organism is structured and maintained.

The pattern of dominant and/or recessive traits and the genetic variations are determined by the allelles.  

Explanation:

The genetic codes in the genes represent the particular amino acid codes and their linkages specific to particular protein.  The amino acids link together to form long polypeptide chains of protein molecules.  

These proteins determine various traits through various roles like:

Messenger proteins: Hormones like insulin, estrogen etc., control and coordinate various functions of the body

Pigments: Like melanin determines the color of the hair, skin, eyes.

Structural protein: Like keratin gives structure of hair, nails; myosin determines muscle structure

Antibodies: Determine the immunity of a person

Ion channel proteins, messenger proteins, structural proteins, receptor proteins etc.: Determine various physiological traits.

Answer:

The traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, in other words by its genotype. Animals have two copies of all their chromosomes, one from each parent.

What is waters role in light reactions
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

water act as a reactant in light reaction.

Explanation:

Water undergo hydrolysis in presence of sunlight to form proton(H+) and hydroxyl ion(OH-) ion. The OH- ion liberates electron to reaction center of photosystem 1 thereby exciting the later .The excited photosystem then donates that extra electron to the primary electron acceptor and from the primary electron acceptor the electron moves through various electron carriers to generate ATP .

    Basically water act as reducing agent in photosynthesis process.

Explain a chromosome insertion and the effect it can have on a human.
Ivan

The correct answer is:

It occurs when part of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.

It results in the duplication of these genes on the same chromosome.

Fragile X syndrome can occur where a person would have 700 insertion repeats.

Difficulties include delay in crawling or walking, hyperactive or impulsive behavior, mental retrdation, flat feet, flexible joints, and large body size.


Hope it helps!
