Albinism is a recessive trait characterized by an absence of pigment melanin responsible for skin and hair color. Actually, albinism is caused by a defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin. The central dogma of molecular biology explains that the sequence of DNA specifies the sequence of mRNA, which, further, specifies codes for the sequence of proteins. Since a gene is a segment of DNA, altered gene will cause altered mRNA which will cause altered protein. Thus, <span>defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin will cause the absence of melanin and consequently, albinism.</span>

Explain how mRNA is formed from the DNA template.
muminat

Answer:

mRNA is “messenger” RNA. mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus using the nucleotide sequence of DNA as a template. This process requires nucleotide triphosphates as substrates and is catalyzed by the enzyme RNA polymerase II. The process of making mRNA from DNA is called transcription, and it occurs in the nucleus.

Hello, if any one knows how to fill in a punnet square please help meeeeee
omeli [17]
You can fill the sides with any allele.
After that the first box will be the dominant allele than the recessive allele, the box below that will be the dominant allele and the recessive allele. Dom being capitol and recessive being lowercase, the box on the top right will be dominant allele and recessive and bottom dominant and recessive. It’s all based on the allele of that row and column.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The option 'All cells contain a nucleus' is not a part of the cell theory.

Explanation:

The cell theory proposed by scientists illustrates that every organism whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic is made up of a cell or different kinds of cells. It also that explains that cells are made from living things. According to the cell theory, cells are termed as the basic unit of life, without which life is not possible.

The cell theory does not claim that every cell must have a nucleus because many cells like cells of prokaryotes lack nucleus. Their genetic material is dispersed in the cytoplasm.

Why salivary amylase is active in the mouth, but becomes inactive in the stomach?
Cerrena [4.2K]
It becomes inactive in the stomach because of the stomach having a MUCH greater PH level then the mouth. It is typically 1.0-2.0 in the Stomach which is extremely acidic which causes it to change shape and therefore inactive.
