Answer:

Explanation:

Mendel studied 7 traits in pea plants and they are: plant height, seed shape, seed color, pod shape, pod color, flower position and flower color. Mendel’s paper was titled "Versuche über Pflanzenhybriden" which is German for ‘Experiments for Plant Hybridization’. He shared or presented his work to the local scientific organization in 1865 but his findings were later published in 1866. Thomas Hunt Morgan studied the genetic characteristics of the fruit fly. Eugenics is the science or practice of improving the quality of a human population by selective breeding, in order to achieve a desired genetic trait or characteristic. In 1944, Oswald Avery proved that DNA is a genetic molecule. The double helix or three-dimensional structure of the DNA was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. A retrovirus is a virus that contains RNA (Ribonucleic acid) rather than DNA, and overwrites the normal DNA of the host cell, in order to replicate. An example of a Retrovirus is HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). DNA can be directly or indirectly damaged by any ionizing radiation such an x-ray; the radiation may kill the cells or cause genetic injury, which may affect the cell’s ability to reproduce itself correctly and cause mutation. Mitochondrial DNA is the DNA or chromosome found inside the mitochondria and it is a gene that can only be passed down from mother to child. An intron is the part of an RNA molecule that is removed before the RNA undergoes translation (process of producing amino acids/proteins). Transposons are DNA sequences that move from one place to another on the genome. They are also known as jumping genes and were discovered by Barbara McClintock in the 1950’s. Recombinant DNA is DNA that is formed by the combination of two or more genetic materials from different sources or organisms in order to create a desired sequence in the host organism. Although most cells have the same DNA, they possess different messenger RNA’s(mRNA’s). The mRNA is responsible for the combination of genes that are switched on or off in each cell and this determines the different structures and functions of a cell. A homeobox is a gene with a short DNA sequence which is responsible for the normal anatomical (structural) development of an organism at the embryotic stage. A rough draft of the human genome project was completed in June, 2000.

Which factor causes the shapes of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids to differ?
kondor19780726 [428]
Whether or not the fatty acid has double or single covalent bonds

a fatty acid is saturated when only single bonds to H hold it together

a fatty acid is unsaturated when a double bond helps hold it together, this type of fatty acid becomes bent as a result

Control of (blank) synthesis is the key to controlling the chemical pathway of the cell.
strojnjashka [21]
Controlling the synthesis of proteins is the key to controlling the chemical pathways in the cell.
This is because proteins have key roles in many chemical reactions in the cell.
The most important proteins for the chemical reactions in the cell are enzymes.
Enzymes catalyze many chemical reactions, therefore, the control of the enzyme synthesis is a direct way of controlling other chemical reactions in the cell.

Based or the food web,correctly predict how changes in the number of a certain species affects the balance of the ecosystem. Cho
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer is: If the amount of snakes increased, the number of rabbits decreases.

A food chain refers to a linear arrangement of associations in a food web beginning from producer species and terminating at zenith predator species. In the given question, the increase of snakes population will eventually result in a decrease of rabbit population, a rabbit is a herbivore which is consumed by the higher predator snake.

How many nucleotide bases differ between your sample (labeled as O. Kisutch) and the standard sequence for O. Kisutch? Sample la
OverLord2011 [107]

The right answer is 3 nucleotide bases.

5'-CGGCACCGCCCTAAGTCTCT-3'

5'-AGGCACCGCCCTAAGTCTAC-3'

It would be necessary first to align the two sequences side by side so as to be able to compare them, and they should also be in the same direction.

The nucleotides marked in bold are the nucleotides that differ between standard and O. Kisutch.

These nucleotide changes are necessarily due to substitution mutations that exchanged one nucleotide for another in the same location.
