Answer: Bacteria lack a mechanism for splicing out introns

Explanation:

Factor VII gene is 186k nucleotides long while the protein is 2332 amino acids long. <u>This lenght discrepancy is due to introns interrupting gene</u>, because the cell first transcribes the entire gene and then cuts introns out of the transcript. At the end, it splices the remaining pieces. Prokaryotes don't perform splicing so it can not edit out introns from the primary mRNA transcript. To produce an eukaryote gene in prokaryotes it is necessary to use a reverse transcriptase to get a cDNA sequence without the introns, and then insert that into a bacterial genome.

timofeeve [1]
<span>Mark may be getting lower amounts of nutrients and vitamins, namely omega-3s and omega-6s. This would directly affect the brain and normal body functions because the body needs vitamins/nutrients to thrive. This could affect the chemical balance in his brain, resulting in depression/schizophrenia/other issues, including eating disorders. Cutting down on fats might also result in overeating carbs and protein, which leads to an overbalance of nutrients -- and a host of other health issues.Not getting enough fat could also affect bone growth.</span>

There is little variety among organisms found in pools, ponds, and lakes.
aniked [119]
That's true. There is little variety among organisms found in pools, pounds and lakes. Despite that fact that many ponds are seasonal, lasting just a couple of month (for exemple sessile pools) while lakes can exist for more than hundred years. Lakes and ponds have limited species diversity because they are often limited from each other and from other water sources like rivers, seas and oceans.

Why is a 50 percent recovery of single-crossover products the upper limit, even when crossing over always occurs between two lin
34kurt

Answer:

Because of homologous recombination

Explanation:

  • When genes are establish on different DNAs or far apart on the same chromosome, they are classified self-sufficiently and are said to be unlinked.
  • When genes are very close together on the same chromosome, they are said to be linked. That means that alleles, or genetic versions, that are already together on a chromosome will be inherited as a unit more often than not.
  • We can see if two genes are linked, and how closely, by using data from genetic crosses to calculate the frequency of recombination.
  • Using the technique of discovery recombination happenings for numerous gene pairs, we can make link maps that show the order and relative distances of the genes on the chromosome.

  • When the genes are on the same chromosome but far apart, they are classified independently due to crossing (homologous recombination). This is a procedure that happens at the start of meiosis, in which homologous DNAs randomly exchange matching fragments. Crossing be able to connection new alleles in combination on the same chromosome, causing them to enter the same gamete. When the genes are far apart, the crossing occurs with sufficient frequency for all types of gametes to occur with 25% percentage frequency.
  • When the genes are very close together on the same chromosome, the crossing still occurs, but the result (in terms of the types of gametes produced) is different. Instead of being classified independently, genes tend to "stay together" during meiosis. That is, alleles of genes that are already together on a chromosome will tend to pass as a unit to gametes. In this case, the genes are linked
