How do the genes in our DNA influence our characteristics? For example, how can a gene determine
whether a person is an albino with very pale skin and hair?
Basically, a gene is a segment of DNA that provides the instructions for making a protein, and
proteins influence our characteristics. This chart describes how two different versions of a gene result
in two different versions of a protein which in turn can result in either normal skin and hair color or
albinism.
DNA Protein Characteristic
Version of the gene that provides
instructions to make
normal protein enzyme
Normal enzyme that makes the
pigment molecule in skin and
hair
Normal skin and hair
color
Version of the gene that provides
instructions to make
defective enzyme
Defective enzyme that does
not make this pigment
molecule
Albinism (very pale
skin and hair)
A gene directs the synthesis of a protein by a two-step process.
The first step is transcription of the gene in the DNA.
Transcription produces a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule.
The second step is translation of the mRNA molecule.
Translation produces a protein molecule.
During transcription, the sequence of
nucleotides in a gene in the DNA is
copied to a corresponding sequence
of nucleotides in mRNA.
During translation, the sequence of
nucleotides in the mRNA determines
the sequence of amino acids in the
protein.
After translation, the sequence of amino acids in the protein determines the structure and function of
the protein. Differences in protein function can influence characteristics such as normal skin and hair
color vs. albinism.
Answer:
Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.
Explanation:
frequency is the number of oscillations in a unit of time.
Wavelength is the length between one oscillation and the next oscillation.
take two springs and 4 pins. (springs should have loops or hooks at terminals to attach to pins.)
Now get two pins and pin them at a certain distance apart.
take the first spring and attach its two terminals to the pins.
Repeat the above procedure, but double (increase the distance x2) the distance between two pins.
Now you have to measure how many coils are there within 5cm of the two springs.
you'll observe that the second spring has half the coils of the first spring within 5cm.
In here no. of coils is the frequency
5cm length is time.
distance between coil is the wavelength.
Answer:
cell wall
Explanation:
if its not one of the options sorry!
For Plato it think its c-Flowers of corn are pollinated by the wind. They are small and lightweight to allow easy pollination by the wind.<span> They do not need to attract animals or insects and are therefore colorless and odorless.</span>
Answer:
Category D
Explanation:
In the USA, the Federal Animal Welfare Regulations require that research laboratories report animal use according to the species as well as the number of individuals subject to experimentation procedures. Moreover, animal use for research/teaching purposes is also reported according to the classification by pain and distress categories. Basically, this classification has four categories (B,C, D and E) in increasing order according to the pain level suffered by research animals. Animals within Category D include those subjected to potentially painful or stressful procedures. In consequence, in this category, it is imperative the utilization of proper anesthetics and/or analgesics in order to diminish the pain and suffering of these animals at the lower level possible.
