If DNA can be described as the instruction book for building an organism, which phrase best describes a gene?

Biology
1 answer:
Whitepunk [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Option C) A sentence in the instruction book

Explanation:

A gene is a specific portion on the DNA that code for a functional protein. i.e DNA consists of several genes, and some non-coding sequences that are usually spliced off during post-translational modification.

In other words, a gene can be best described as each single, meaningful sentence in the instruction book for building an organism.

A expresses dna that has been derived from another species. 2. dna that has been altered to contain genes, or portions of genes,
OlgaM077 [116]
1. A transgenic organism expresses DNA that has been derived from another species. These organisms have altered genomes and are generated in the laboratory for the purposes of research, for example, the "knock-out" mice are tansgenic mice with a particular gene of interest disabled. 
2. Recombinant DNA is the DNA that has been altered to contain genes, or portions of genes, from different organisms. The DNA molecules are formed in the lab using recombination methods to bring together genetic material from multiple sources and therefore creating sequences that are not found in the genome. 
3. Restriction enzymes are found naturally in bacteria and they cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences. These enzymes are also called restriction endonucleases, they cleave DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites called restriction sites. They are found in bacteria and archaea and they serve to provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses.
4. Biotechnology is the use or alteration of organisms, cells, or biological molecules to produce food, drugs, or other goods. Living systems and organisms are used to make or develop products. Biotechnology enhances cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and product for the purposes of improving life and health. 
5. Polymerase chain reaction is a technique that is used to quickly synthesize billions of copiies of a specific segment of DNA.  It is a quick and a very efficient way to generate many copies of DNA.  The process is applicable when there are small quantities of DNA to analyze. The events of PCR involves; separation of DNA strands, addition of primers, use of DNA polymerase to produce second strand of DNA. 
6. In the process known as transformation, bacteria take up pieces of DNA from the surroundings. Bacterial transformation results from the uptake of naked DNA (DNA without associated cells or proteins). Transformation may also occur naturally in some species of bacteria.

There is general agreement that species classified as Homo should share all of these characteristics EXCEPT
butalik [34]

Large brain size, small and flat face, small jaws and teeth, exploitation of diversity are some common features of <em>homo </em>species. <em>Different</em><em> </em><em>homo </em>species have different shapes of skulls.

Homo, genus of the family Hominidae (order Primates), is distinguished by a relatively large cranial capacity, limb structure adapted to a habitual erect posture and a bipedal gait, well-developed and fully opposable thumbs, hands capable of power and precision grips, and the ability to make standardized precision tools by combining one tool with another.

<em>Different </em><em>Homo </em>species are differentiate from skull shapes. Their body shapes also tends to vary. This is due to different environment conditions in different time zones.

However,<em> Homo</em> species show many common characteristics such as Large brain size, small and flat face, small jaws and teeth.
