An allele is a variation of a gene that can be expressed as a phenotype.

Explanation:

Genes are the specific sequences of DNA that code for a particular protein in organisms. When the fertilization occurs each parent contributes one chromosome which is homologous this means that both will have genes on the particular loci. The alleles of the particular genes will come together to express the trait.

Allele is an entity of gene which determines how the gene will express the particular trait like tall, short, round, wrinkle etc. It can be said that allele determines the phenotypic trait of a particular gene.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1. Character

2. Trait

3. Monohybrid cross

4. Alleles

5. Dominant allele

6. Recessive allele

7. Phenotype

8. Genotype

Explanation:

1. Character is an inherited feature passed through genes that varies in individual e.g flower colour

2. A trait is the variant form of a character e.g red and blue flower colour are variant forms of the flower colour character.

3. Monohybrid cross is a cross between two parents differing in only one character.

4. Allele is an alternate form of a gene e.g A and a alleles for gene A

5. Dominant allele is one of the allelic pair that expresses itself by masking the expression of the other allele in a heterozygous state.

6. A recessive allele is the allele that is masked or not expressed in a gene. It is covered up by the presence of the dominant allele.

7. Phenotype is the physical and visible trait of an organism e.g Tallness, colour

8. Genotype is the genetic constituent of an organism e.g AA, Aa etc.

Which letter from the fungus diagram represents the hyphae?<br> A<br> B<br> C<br> D
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Hyphae is the vegetative growth of fungi.

it is long and filamentous in nature and is

analogous to the rhizoids of runner plants. A

network of many crisscrossing hyphae is called

mycelium, When a hyphae branches vertically

upwards to give rise to a sporanguim, it is

called sporangiophore (such as the case in

the attached diagram

What is the difference between code, codon, and anticodon?
NeX [460]
The codon is a set of 3 nucleotides that can be read to convey a message in your DNA. It can be a code saying to "start" the process of protein synthesis, or "stop" it, or to encode for an amino acid - the building blocks of proteins. 
<span>The DNA is read, and proteins are made by DNA Polymerase (simple version here, it is more complicated, but this is the gist of it) travelling down the DNA. As it travels, it reads the nucleotides and builds a chain of amino acids, that corresponds to the information gleaned from the DNA. </span>
<span>So, the codon is only on one side of the DNA, and there are 2 sides. In order to be able to keep the DNA safe, and package it well (and loads of other reasons ) there is a complimentary strand. The nucleotides that make up DNA are A, T, C, and G. A links to T and C to G, and vice versa. </span>
So if your DNA strand's codons read "AAG AGG TCA"
Then the complimentary strand will read "TTC TCC AGT" the three codons on the complimentary strand ARE THE ANTICODONS of the codons on the strand being read (aka "expressed").
<span>So a codon and an anti codon are made of the same things, it just is a matter of which is being actively expressed. Now, this gets insanely complicated when you learn more about reading frames! Not only are there those codons, but if you shift and start reading the "code" either one nucleotide earlier or later, it completely changes the message.</span>
