Biology

-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Gene is defined as a segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) that codes for a particular protein and the protein thus formed corresponds to a specific trait ( like eye color) of the organism.

Genes are passed from parents to their offsprings and in this way specific traits are inherited by offsprings from their parents.

Genes are located on the chromosomes ( thread like structures composed of DNA).

Why is DNA fingerprinting more conclusive when proving a person’s innocence rather than their guilt?
Likurg_2 [28]
DNA fingerprinting is far more conclusive because it is solid proof. It has evidence that a certain person was at a certain place at a particular time frame. Although most criminals do get asked to use the polygraph test, testing guilt I guess, measures only their heart rate. Which in a normal view many regular people would be nervous. There has been countless reports where murders can pass a polygraph test, but then be convicted of a crime due to proof of evidence from fingerprints. Humans are emotional beings, some can crack easily while some won't (through interrogation). So that's why it's key investigations use science to back up their crimes rather that try to measure someone's guilt.

I hope this answered your question!

Can an enzyme be recycled? Explain.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Enzymes serve as catalysts to many biological processes, and so they are not used up in reactions and they may be recovered and reused. However, in a laboratory setting, reactions involving enzymes can leave the enzyme unrecoverable. This process makes the enzyme at once less reactive but more stable.

Between Point A and Point C, where is the steepest part of the hike? How do you know?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Going down Burr Hill; the contour lines are close together.

Explanation:

Between Points A and C, the steepest part is going down Burr Hill.

I know that, because the contour lines are so close together.

That means your vertical descent is quite steep compared to the distance you cover horizontally.
