Biology

lina2011 [118]3 years ago
3 0
Albinism is caused by a mutation in one of several genes. Each of these genes provides instructions for making one of several proteins involved in the production of melanin. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found in your skin and eyes. A mutation may result in no melanin at all or a significant decline in the amount of melanin.

If the hiv virus contains rna, how does it get its genetic information into the cell’s genome?
klio [65]

Retroviruses also have the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which allows it to copy RNA into DNA and use that DNA "copy" to infect human, or host, cells.

What is DNA?

Humans and nearly all other species carry their genetic information in DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid. The DNA of an individual can be found in almost all of their cells. The majority of DNA is found in the cell nucleus (where it is known as nuclear DNA), but there is also a tiny quantity of DNA in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Cellular organelles called mitochondria transform the energy from food into a form that can be utilized by cells.

Adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (C) are the four

chemical bases that make up the code that stores the information in DNA (T). More than 99 percent of the 3 billion bases that make up human DNA are the same in every person.

What is spontaneous generation and why is it important to the history of cell theory?
attashe74 [19]
Spontaneous generation is the belief that there is a form of creation of a living organism that just happens or can occur from an inanimate or dead object. Although disproved, some people still debate it today. The importance of it in relation to the scientific community and cell theory is one that provides guidance for adhering to the most rigid of standards in order to be actually considered scientific and that observation alone is not credible. It could be related to cell theory by suggesting the conversion of one type of cells to another spontaneously, which would be impossible as we now know without the intervention of another living organism like bacteria. The cellular level of these living organisms being incredibly small.
