Inversion of DNA sequences within chromosomes is a common process in evolution. The following gene arrangements in a particular

chromosome are found in four different species.
1st sequence STUVWX
2nd sequence UVXTSW
3rd sequence UVWSTX
4th sequence SWVUTX
1. Assuming that the arrangement in 1 is the original arrangement, in what evolutionary order did the four species arise, such that there is only one inversion between each species. (Place 1st sequence first in your ordering.)

Answer:

2, 3, 4, 1

Explanation:

Inversion of DNA sequences refers to the rearrangement of the sequences where a segment is reversed end to end.

For instance in order for the gene of species to have the sequence STUVWX

The order of evolution will be

  • sequence UVXTSW  will be the first sequence

When XTSW segment is inverted WSTX

  • sequence UVWSTX  will be the result of the inversion.

section UVWS is inverted to  SWVU

  • sequence SWVUTX is formed.

when WVUT undergoes inversion to TUVW

  • It becomes the original arrangement of STUVWX .

Which of the following best describes how a blood cell and skin cell have the exact same DNA sequence and yet look different and
den301095 [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, however, it will be answered BROADLY so the it can be understood enough to select the correct answer.

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Cells perform different functions and look differently because of the process of CELL DIFFERENTIATION. All cells arise from a single stem cell, which then gradually differentiates into different types of cells with different functions, as they divide.

At the molecular level, these different types of cells contain the same DNA sequence as rightly stated in the question. However, they look and perform differently because some of the genes are turned on while the others are turned off via the process of GENE EXPRESSION.

Therefore, a blood cell and skin cell possess exactly the same DNA sequence but look different and perform different functions because of CELL DIFFERENTIATION in which some genes on the DNA sequence are expressed and others are repressed. For example, in the blood cell; the genes coding for certain proteins found in blood are expressed while every other gene is silenced or inhibited. This allows those cells to perform only blood-related functions.
