How do the genes in our DNA influence our characteristics? For example, how can a gene determine
whether a person is an albino with very pale skin and hair?
Basically, a gene is a segment of DNA that provides the instructions for making a protein, and
proteins influence our characteristics. This chart describes how two different versions of a gene result
in two different versions of a protein which in turn can result in either normal skin and hair color or
albinism.
DNA Protein Characteristic
Version of the gene that provides
instructions to make
normal protein enzyme
Normal enzyme that makes the
pigment molecule in skin and
hair
Normal skin and hair
color
Version of the gene that provides
instructions to make
defective enzyme
Defective enzyme that does
not make this pigment
molecule
Albinism (very pale
skin and hair)
A gene directs the synthesis of a protein by a two-step process.
The first step is transcription of the gene in the DNA.
Transcription produces a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule.
The second step is translation of the mRNA molecule.
Translation produces a protein molecule.
During transcription, the sequence of
nucleotides in a gene in the DNA is
copied to a corresponding sequence
of nucleotides in mRNA.
During translation, the sequence of
nucleotides in the mRNA determines
the sequence of amino acids in the
protein.
After translation, the sequence of amino acids in the protein determines the structure and function of
the protein. Differences in protein function can influence characteristics such as normal skin and hair
color vs. albinism.
C. mRNA detaches and moves to the ribosomes.
The feature that you need to use in examining and make a
determination whether the skeletal remains in the pelvis is either male or
female is by analyzing its size and construction. It is because males have
larger pelvis bone and are robust elements compared to females who have smaller
and are light in terms of construction.
Answer:
. Producers are any kind of green plant. Green plants make their food by taking sunlight and using the energy to make sugar. The plant uses this sugar, also called glucose to make many things, such as wood, leaves, roots, and bark. Trees, such as they mighty Oak, and the grand American Beech, are examples of producers.
What is a producer easy definition?
1 : one that produces especially : one that grows agricultural products or manufactures crude materials into articles of use. 2 : a person who supervises or finances a work (such as a staged or recorded performance) for exhibition or dissemination to the public.
What is a producer and consumer in biology?
Producers get their energy by making their own food. ... Consumers get their food by eating other living things. They can be herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores.

Answer:
Independent: Purposely altered
Dependent: Changes with respect to the independent being altered
Controlled: Never changes
Explanation:
An independent variable is a variable in which does not rely on other pieces/variables of an experiment to assume a value. In other words, it does not change when other variables change. However, it can be changed intentionally by the scientist.
A dependent variable is a variable in which its change in value relies on other pieces/variables of an experiment to assume a value. So, if the indeoendent variable is changed, the dependent variable will change as well. The opposite is not true though - if the dependent variable changes (for whatever reason), the independent variable hasn't necessarily been changed.
A controlled variable is a variable that stays CONSTANT throughout an experiment. It is never changed, and nothing will change it. An example of a control variable is the number of participants in a study: no more participants are being added, and no participants are being removed. The number of participants remains STATIC throughout the study.
