Nucleic acids offer variability because they contain alternate forms of genes called alleles.
Mama L [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer would be alleles.

Alleles refer to the alternative form of the same gene.

They contain information about the same character, however, they can code for different traits associated with the same character.

For example, T and t are the alleles of the same gene which codes for the height character of a plant. T codes for the trait tallness whereas t codes for the trait dwarf.

How did the discovery of three categories of petite mutations in yeast lead researchers to postulate extranuclear inheritance of
Nat2105 [25]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Whereas segregational petites exhibited Mendelian inheritance, both neutral and suppressive petites followed non-Mendelian patterns that were consistent with the involvement of an extranuclear agent

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Mutations that yield defective mitochondria are expected to make cells grow much more slowly. These mutants were called petites to describe their small colonies compared to large wild type colonies.
  • Petite mutants could not grow when cells had an energy source requiring only metabolic activity of mitochondria - needed sugar as well which is part of glycolytic pathway.
  • Segregational petites, segregated in mendelian manner during meiosis. mutations cause defects in genes in cell nucleus encode proteins necessary for mitochondrial function.
  • Vegetative petite mutants do not segregate in mendelian manner; two types: neutral and suppressive; carry mutations in mitochondrial genome itself; when two yeast cells are mated, daughter cells inherit mitochondria from both parents.
  • Neutral petites lack most of their mitochondrial DNA; when mated with wildtype, the wildtype give their mitochondria so all cells display a normal phenotype.

. Complete the below sentences using: catalyst, intolerance, lactose, chemical reaction, reused, lactase
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The sentences can be completed as follows:

The enzyme lactase breaks down the sugar lactose.

If the body doesn’t produce much of this enzyme, people have what’s called lactose intolerance.

During the chemical reaction the enzyme doesn’t get used up, but gets reused.

Enzymes are substances that speed up chemical reactions which are also known as catalysts.

Explanation:

Enzymes can be described as molecules which act as biological catalysts i.e they are involved in speeding up a chemical reaction. The enzymes do not get used up in a chemical reaction and hence, they can be reused.

Lactase is an enzyme which helps in breaking down the sugar lactose which is commonly found in the milk. If enough lactase is not produced by a person's body, then he/she becomes unable to digest the sugar lactose. Such a condition is known as lactose intolerance.
