What is the difference between a gene and a allele?

Biology
1 answer:
Lerok [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A gene is a portion of DNA that determines a trait. A trait is a characteristic, or a feature, passed from one generation to another, like height or eye color.

Explanation:

"Genes come in multiple forms, or versions. Each of these forms is called an allele. For example, the gene responsible for the hair color trait has many alleles: an allele for brown hair, an allele for blonde hair, an allele for red hair, and so on."

Are there any drawbacks to only regulating at the transcriptional level and not the translational level or protein level?
bixtya [17]

Ans.

Gene regulation or regulation of gene expression involves mechanisms, used by the cells to enhance or reduce the expression of specific genes to make proteins or RNA. Gene regulation occurs at transcriptional level and post-transcriptional level, which involves regulation at translational level or protein level.

Regulation at translational level or protein level is also important as regulation at transcriptional level. Translational regulation controls formation of proteins from mRNA molecules and includes non-coding mRNAs and repressor proteins. It is important for cell growth, differentiation and cellular response to stress and provides an immediate adjustment of gene expression  by directly regulating the protein concentration.

Regulation at protein level involves regulation of active protein. It includes regulation by various small molecules, post-translational modifications (such as phosphorylation), and proteolysis. Regulation only at transcriptional level is not sufficient to provide proper gene regulation and leads to various drawbacks, such as Fragile X Syndrome (due to defect in a protein).

Thus, 'gene regulation is important both at transcriptional level and at post-transcriptional level (during translation or protein level).'

Muscle fibers are directly surrounded by which thin layer of connective tissue?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- epimysium

Explanation:

Epimysium is the fibrous connective tissue envelope which surrounds the muscle fibers of the muscle as a whole.

The epimysium plays an important role in maintaining the muscle structure as it protects the muscle from the friction caused by the associated bones and the muscles. The epimysium is continuous with other layers called the endomysium, perimysium, tendons and the fascia.

Thus, epimysium is the correct answers.
