How would a mistake in transcribing the DNA message affect your ability to catch the killer?

Biology

mel-nik [20]3 years ago

Answer: When the DNA collected on the crime scene is being analysed in the forensic lab, the results will be inconclusive, because error in DNA transcription, particularly in mRNA encoding leads to inheritable phenotype change by reprogramming the transcriptional network, without changing the DNA. Transcription errors are brief with no long-term consequences. Due to mRNA being short-lived and the erroneous proteins are degraded. A decrease in transcription accuracy triggers cellular identity change.

Explanation: This is called epimutation, a heritable modification that results in the change of gene expression, but not the DNA sequence. Epimutation is not associated with DNA mutation, but is associated with the loss or gain of DNA methylation or other heritable changes of the chromatin.

Let p = purple flowers and p = white, and t = tall plants and t = dwarf. if the uppercase letters represent the dominant alleles
sesenic [268]

If the uppercase letters represent the dominant alleles, purple flowers and tall are the phenotype of a plant with the genotype Pptt.

A gene can exist in different forms across organisms. These different forms are known as alleles.

The subsequent combination of alleles that an individual possesses for a specific gene is their genotype.  

Examples of  genotype include:

  • Hair colour
  • Height
  • Shoe size
  • Eye colour

The sum of an organism’s observable characteristics is their phenotype. A key difference between phenotype and genotype is that, whilst genotype is inherited from an organism’s parents, the phenotype is not.

Whilst a phenotype is influenced the genotype, genotype does not equal phenotype. The phenotype is influenced by the genotype and factors including:

  • Epigenetic modifications
  • Environmental and lifestyle factors

Observing the phenotype is simple – we take a look at an organism’s outward features and characteristics, and form conclusions about them. Observing the genotype, however, is a little more complex.

Genotyping is the process by which differences in the genotype of an individual are analyzed using biological assays. The data obtained can then be compared against either a second individual’s sequence, or a database of sequences.

It is (hotter or colder) at the top of the mountain? Why? (explain below)
mestny [16]
It is colder at the top of a mountain because there is less air pressure. The same amount of heat is now in a larger area so it is more spread out.
