Biology

Answer:

-A single gene can influence multiple traits.

-A single trait can be controlled by multiple genes.

Explanation:

1. A single gene influences two or more phenotypic traits known as a pleiotropic gene.  Pleiotropy is common in the genetics of complex disease.

Example: Phenylketonuria

It is an inherited disorder in which the level of phenylalanine is increased in the human body. This is happening because of the defect in a single gene on chromosome 12 that codes for phenylalanine hydroxylase (enzyme). This enzyme affects multiple system e.g.,  nervous and integumentary systems.

2. A polygenic trait is one whose phenotype is influenced by more than one gene. Polygenic traits are also controlled by environmental factors.

Example: Height, Skin color

These traits show continuous distribution because they are also controlled by many different genes. Epigenetics and environmental factors are also involves.

Mandalian (inherited) traits are controlled by different genes.

Natali5045456 [20]

Plants respond immediately to the gravitational attraction of the Earth as well as to light. Stems develop away from the center of the Earth and toward the light due to negative gravitropism.

<h3>What is negative gravitropism?</h3>

Negative gravitropism occurs when shoots develop in the opposite direction of gravity toward sunlight.

Plants respond immediately to the gravitational attraction of the Earth as well as to light. Stems develop away from the center of the Earth and toward the light due to negative gravitropism.

Thus, the given experiment shows negative gravitropism.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Non-coding DNA regions play important roles in regulating transcriptional activity by encoding different types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), acting as scaffold attachment regions, acting as enhancer specific regions, etc.

Explanation:

Historically, it had been believed that non-coding DNA sequences were 'junk DNA' since they don't encode for proteins (beyond the sequences that are transcribed into functional non-coding RNAs, i.e., transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA). However, in the last years, it has been shown that non-coding DNA sequences play critical roles in regulating gene expression and genome function. For example, evolutionary conserved non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with regulatory roles on gene expression such as, for example, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been mapped in non-coding DNA sequences, thereby evidencing the functional significance of these regions. In consequence, the conservative nature of certain non-coding DNA sequences evidence that mutations in such regions may have significant deleterious effects, and thereby they could have a negative impact on the fitness of the individual.
