Answer:

Polycistronic mRNAs

Explanation:

Normally In Eukaryotic cells the messenger RNAs (mRNA) only contain the information to produce a protein, these mRNAs are known as monocistronic.

In Prokaryotes, the transcription system is usually polycistronic, this means that a mRNA have the information to encode two or more genes.

As an interesting example of the co-evolution of Eukaryotes, the mitochondrial genome has polycistronic genes.

Is it possible to switch blood types

vesna_86 [32]

I do not believe so because it is genetic, just you can't forever change a feature without plastic surgery or an accident, etc.

Sometimes a suffix functions independently as a medical term. give two examples of suffixes that are also terms, and explain how

aleksandrvk [35]

The answer would be –genesis and –gram.

Suffixes that have a Greek or Latin roots and that are used to combine with other words or parts of words are not called suffixes, these kind of affixes are called combining forms.

One combing form is –genesis.

As an independent medical term, this means the origin of something in medicine. When a doctor talks about the genesis of a contagion, he or she is speaking of the point of origin of a contagion.

-genesis used as a suffix, can indicate a particular process or pathogen. Example is parthenogenesis.

One combining form is –gram.

As an independent medical term, gram indicated the metric weight of an object as a unit of mass. If nurses talk about how much serving of food, they are talking about it in grams.

-gram signifies something written down. Example is pictogram.

Can anyone tell me the ratio of the genotype and phenotype ???

iogann1982 [59]

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Phenotype:</h2>

It is the physical appearance of the trait, whether the person has smooth chin or cleft chin.

<h2>Genotype:</h2>

A genotype refers to the genetic characteristics of an organism's trait, if it is heterozygous or hom.ozygous, recessive or dominant.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Alleles:</h2>

Cleft chin C is dominant over smooth chin c

<h2>Genotypes of Parents:</h2><h3>FATHER:</h3>

Father has smooth chin thus, it is hom.ozygous recessive i.e. cc

<h3>MOTHER:</h3>

Mother has cleft chin, since cleft chin is dominant there are two possibilities of her genotype,

Heterozygous Dominant : Cc

Hom.zygous Dominant : CC

but if we cross the hom.zygous fominant mother to hom.ozygous recessive father we will get all the offsprings with the same genotype phenotype so it is not possibile, So the mother is HETEROZYGOUS DOMINANT Cc

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2><u>Question</u>:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Genotypes of Parents:</h2>

FATHER: cc (Hom.ozygous Recessive)

MOTHER: Cc (Heterozygous Dominant)

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Punnet Square:</h2>

Picture attached!

Picture no 1: it is the cross between hom.ozygous recessive father and hom.ozygous dominant mother and all the offsprings are same both phenotypic and genotypic way so IT IS NOT POSSIBILE

Picture no 2: Its cross between hom.ozygous recessive father and heterozygous dominant mother and there are hybrid and pure recessive both type of offsprings present thus IT IS POSSIBLE!

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Genotype Ratio of the Offspring:</h2>

Hybrid : Pure Recessive

2 : 2 or 1 : 1

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Phenotype Ratio of the Offspring:</h2>

Cleft Chin : Smooth Chin

2 : 2 or 1 : 1

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Best Regards,</h2><h2>'Borz'</h2><h2 />
