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

Biology
1 answer:
Whitepunk [10]4 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.

An individual that is heterozygous for flower color and for height (PpTt) is test crossed. What is the phenotypic ratio of the o
MrRa [10]

Answer:

9:3:3:1

Explanation:

This type of crossing that involves two characters is referred to as dihybrid crossing. Generally, when there is a dihybrid crossing for heterozygous genes for both parents, the phenotypic ratio is usually 9:3:3:1 as shown in the figure in the attached document below.

Assuming the colour is White (P) and Black (p) and the

Height is Tall (T) and short (t)

The possible phenotypes will be in the ration

9 - White and Tall

3 - White and short

3 - Black and Tall

1 - Black and short

It should be noted that phenotypic ratio (phenotype) describes the outward appearance (what can be see physically) and not the genetic make-up. Thus, where there is a dominant character like P or T, the recessive characters are not considered to have been expressed.

Can a frontal lobe tumor make someone psychotic
mafiozo [28]
To put it simply... Yes. The Frontal lobe controls that basic emotions and thought process, that make you, You. A tumor would definitely interfere with those processes, and you can end up with patients with some form of AMS (altered mental status). They could end up with a biological psychosis, hallucinations, depression and anxiety, Anasecoria (uneven papillary dilation, due to pressure on the optic nerve), Delirium, or Dementia.
