What would be the correct notation for describing a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 6 at region 2, band 4

Andrej [43]

The correct notation would be Del(6)(p24). The word 'del' means deletion.

<h3>What is chromosome notation?</h3>

Chromosome notation refers to alphanumeric notations used to identify certain chromosome arrangements.

In this case, chromosome notation denotes a deletion (del) in the short arm (p arm) of chromosome 6.

The stained band of the chromosomes in the karyotype is denoted by the number 24.

Can someone explain the process of RNA editing?

Talja [164]

The process of RNA editing is the alteration of the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, but before it is translated into a protein. RNA editing occurs by two distinct mechanisms:Substitution editing and Insertion/deletion editing.

Substitution editing is the chemical alteration of individual nucleotides. These alterations are catalyzed by enzymes that recognize a specific target sequence of nucleotides:

*Cytidine Deaminases that convert a C in the RNA to uracil.

*adenosine deaminases that convert an A to inosine,which the ribosome translates as a G.Thus a CAG codon (for Gln) can be converted to a CGG codon (for Arg).

*Insertion/deletion editing is the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in an RNA.

These alterations are mediated by guide RNA molecules that base-pair as best they can with the RNA to be edited and serve as a template for the addition( or removal) in the target.

Sometimes a species' trait is not actually an adaptation because: it result from other properties hitchhiker effect it is an exa

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

hitchhiker effect

it is an exaptation

Explanation:

Adaptation is a property which occurs due to change in the environmental conditions of an organism. Some traits of organisms are not adaptation because sometimes the function of a trait changes due to evolution which we called exaptation. It also occurs due to hitchhiker effect, this effect occurs when the change occurs in the frequency of allele not due to natural selection but due to selective sweep with the nearby gene.
