Answer:

Other than genes, chromosomes has following regions :

1) <u>Centromere :</u><u> </u>It is the attachment point for spindle microtubules (<em><u>heterochromatic</u></em><u>) </u>

2) <u>Telomeres</u> : These are the natural ends, the tips of linear chromosomes that has a role to stabilize the chromosome (<em><u>Heterochromatic</u></em><u>) </u>

3)<u> Intergenic regions :</u> Intergenic DNA acts to control the  genes nearby but it has not currently known function.

4) <u>Origin of replication</u> - It is the site where DNA synthesis begins (<em><u>euchromatic) </u></em>

Which answer choices are assumptions within the kinetic theory of matter?
kicyunya [14]

The correct options are:

  • Matter is made of small particles.
  • Matter's particles are in constant random motion or vibration
  • There is empty space between matter's particles.

Anything which has mass and occupies shape is a matter. Matter is composed of particles. The particles of matter are very small in size and they  attract each other. There is space between the particles. The particles are in continuous random motion, thus they have kinetic energy. on absorbing energy their movement increases.

A genomic sequencing method called _______ sequencing was used in the human genome project. In this method, DNA is broken into m
Dominik [7]

1. shotgun

2. inbreeding

3. cloning

4. Y chromosomes

5. The Human Genome Project sought to map a human's entire genome.

6. Inbreeding is a type of selective breeding that occurs when individuals with similar characteristics continue to be bred in an attempt to keep a certain set of traits. However, inbred organisms are genetically similar, and the probability that members of the population will receive mutated alleles leading to disorders is high.

7. Since no two humans have the same DNA, except for identical twins, forensics can take advantage of this fact by using DNA fingerprinting to solve crimes, convict wrongdoers, or overturn unjust convictions.

What is the term for the nucleotide sequences that are removed during mrna processing?
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct answer is: introns

Processing of mRNA is process that occurs only in eukaryotic cells. After the transcription, newly formed mRNA molecule is called and it must be processed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). Processing includes:

• Addition of a 5' cap to the beginning of the RNA

• Polyadenilation- addition of a poly-A tail (tail of A nucleotides) to the end of the RNA

• Splicing- removal of introns and linking the exons

After these steps mRNA is mature and used for the further steps (e.g. translation).

Sometimes some genes are alternatively spliced.
