Heterozygous is a term used in genetics to describe when two variations of a gene (known as alleles) are paired at the same location (locus) on a chromosome. By contrast, homozygous is when there are two copies of the same allele at the same locus.
The term heterozygous is derived from "hetero-" meaning different and "-zygous" meaning related to a fertilized egg (zygote).
Determining Traits
Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each locus, with one allele inherited from each parent. The specific pairing of alleles translates to variations in an individual’s genetic traits.
An allele can either be dominant or recessive. Dominant alleles are those that express a trait even if there is only one copy. Recessive alleles can only express themselves if there are two copies.
One such example is brown eyes (which is dominant) and blue eyes (which is recessive). If the alleles are heterozygous, the dominant allele would express itself over the recessive allele, resulting in brown eyes. At the same time, the person would be considered a "carrier" of the recessive allele, meaning that the blue eye allele could be passed to offspring even if that person has brown eyes.
Alleles can also be incompletely dominant, an intermediate form of inheritance where neither
Trees do not emit greenhouse gases. Rather, they are the natural resource that helps clean it out. However, due to deforestation, there aren't enough to combat the amount of gas that is produced at the current rate.
Answer:
Results in a hairpin loop structure in RNA, AND results in the polymerase falling off the DNA template.
Explanation:
As the RNA polymerase arrives at the terminator site, it pauses. The termination of RNA transcription occurs when an RNA transcript with a self-complementary sequence is formed leading to the formation of the hairpin structure. The hairpin structure has 15-20 nucleotides.
The hairpin structure of RNA weakens A=U base pairs in RNA-DNA hybrid and/or weakens the interaction between RNA and RNA polymerase. The overall effect is the dissociation of RNA polymerase from the complex and termination of the transcription.
Answer:
Wedging (for the first one)
Explanation:
Dear public, our ecosystem is being ruined and we need to stop it, i think you should do something about the littering and loitering in our community and in the U.S. it would help a lot of people if you made a law against it or if we went out and all did community service and helped pick up. if you don't like these ideas we could protest, but all me and my fellow people ask is that you help our <span><span>ecosystem for better lives for everyone! yours truly, citizen</span></span>
