A living entity is referred to as an organism. In order of size: cell, tissue,organ,organism.
Answer:
Option C. A person inherits chromosomes from just one parent.
Explanation:
Genetic disorders or diseases that are caused by errors that occur during meiosis is called down syndrome. It is also known as trisomy 21. In this disease the person inherits one extra pair of chromosomes from one of the parent i. e. Father or mother.
Answer:
A. diploid and C. somatic
Explanation:
Humans are diploid organisms and have 23 pair of chromosomes i.e. in total humans have 46 chromosomes.
There are 2 types of cells in humans (1) somatic cells and (2) germ cells.
Somatic cells are normal body cells which are diploid and have all 23 pairs of chromosomes. But, germ cells are special type of cells which are produced by gonads (sex organs). Germ cells are also known as gametes. In females, ovary is the sex organ which produces germ cells named as egg cells while in males testes is the sex organ which produces germ cells named as sperms. Germ cells (egg and sperm) are haploid cells which fuse to form a zygote which is the first cell of next generation. The process of fusion of egg and sperm is known as fertilization which is responsible for restoring diploidy in the progeny which receives half the genetic material from female parent and half the genetic material from male parent.
Answer:
1. The difference between the normal hemoglobin protein DNA sequence and the sickle cell hemoglobin DNA sequence is a base to base shift, in this case adenine (GAG) to thymine (GTG).
2. The difference affects the amino acid sequence of the protein by replacing glutamic acid (Glu) with valine (Val).
Explanation:
In sickle cell anemia, a change in the DNA nucleotide sequence is observed, where adenine is substituted by thymine, whose expression is the change in the amino acid sequence of globine β, incorporating valine instead of glutamic acid. This represents a molecular mutation - point mutation - by subtitution, which corresponds to missense mutation.
<u>Normal hemoglobin protein in a RBC</u>
DNA CTG ACT CCT GAG GAG AAG TCT
Amino acids Leu Thr Pro Glu Glu Lys Ser
<u>Sickle cell hemoglobin protein in a RBC</u>
DNA CTG ACT CCT <em>GTG</em> GAG AAG TCT
Amino acids Leu Thr Pro <em>Val</em> Glu Lys Ser
When GAG is transcribed to mRNA, the CUC codon is obtained, which codes for glutamic acid. Thymine substitution causes the DNA sequence to change to GTG, which is transcribed as CAC, the codon that encodes the amino acid valine. The <u>change from glutamic acid to valine in β-globin causes an altered hemoglobin, giving the abnormal erythrocytes observed in sickle cell disease</u>.
Answer:
plants need protein for healthy growth and development. One of the critical roles of protein in plants is regulating phototropism and mediating the response of plants to light-dark cycles. Proteins are also involved in energy-generating reactions, intracellular structure and membrane transport.
