What is a phenotype?

Biology
1 answer:
Papessa [141]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a. the result of an individual's genetic constitution

Explanation:

Phenotype is the morphological expression of genotype. The genetic constituent of an individual is known as genotype. Genotype determines the genetic traits and imparts specific features of the organisms which constitute the phenotype of the organism.

The phenotype of the organisms depends on the type of the alleles of the genes present in the genome of the organisms.

For example, a human with genotype "ii" has blood type "O". Here, "ii" is the genotype that is responsible for phenotype "O blood type".

On the other hand, a human with genotype "IAIA" has blood type "A". Here. "blood type A" is the phenotype.

Answer:

Potential targets:

1- DNA methyltransferases

2- Chromatin modifiers such as histone acetyltransferases, histone deacetylases, histone methyltransferases, etc.

3- Components of the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery such as Dicer, Argonaute, etc.

Explanation:

Epigenetics can be defined as the study of any heritable change in the phenotype that does not involve modifications in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms can be classified into three major types: 1-DNA methylation, 2-histone modifications (e.g., acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, etc), and 3-regulatory non-coding RNAs (e.g., miRNAs, lncRNAs, siRNAs, etc) that modulate target gene expression via the RNA interference pathway. There are different types of proteins that are involved in these complex epigenetic mechanisms, and those cited above represent only some examples that can be used as therapeutic targets.

Select all that apply: Which of the following affect(s) the half-life of a radioactive substance?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, the type of isotope

Explanation:

The half life of a radioactive substance is a constant value and thus it is not affected by the temperature, catalyst or mass of the substance.  Basically it is the time taken by a radioactive substance to reduce its mass by half of its actual value. Radioactive decay takes place only when the atomic nucleus becomes unstable and thus the isotope type is the only factor which affects the radioactive decay of any element.
