How does DNA code for traits

1 answer:

The sequence of nucleotides in DNA genes determines the order of amino acids in a protein. This is the direct connection between your genes and your traits. The mechanism is a two-step process. First an enzyme transcribes a gene to an intermediate biochemical called ribonucleic acid, or RNA.

Explain why bubbles wraps gloves would or would not be good insulators.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

They would NOT be good insulators.

Explanation:

An insulator is something that can carry electricity very easily. A good example of this is metal. Bubble wrap is made up of plastic. Which is not a good insulator. So therefore, bubble wrap wouldnt cut it.

The substitution of a T for an A in the protein coding sequence of the globin gene introduced a SNP. This SNP changed an amino a

Answer:

Sickle cell anemia refers to a recessive inheritance disorder, in which every individual carries two copies of a gene. In normal individuals, both the copies of the globin gene are normal, and they generate 2 and 4 kb fragments of DNA on digestion by BseR1. A patient with sickle cell anemia is homozygous for the recessive gene and exhibits a mutation in both the copies of a globin gene.

Therefore, BseR1 could not digest the globin gene and generate a single 6Kb fragment of DNA. In a patient acting as a carrier, one copy of a globin gene is mutated and the other is normal. As a consequence, BseR1 digestion generates 6kb of the fragment of DNA (mutated copy) and 4 and 2 kb from the normal copy of a gene.
