In cells, genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins; not sugars or complex carbohydrates, or lipids, but proteins. The co

de in the sequence of nucleotides in a gene specifies the sequence of nucleotides in messenger RNA which in turn specifies the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The sequence is variable because of mutations which can change the sequence of amino acids in the protein coded for by that gene. Therefore, in evolution, a change in a single code for a single amino acid may have an effect on individual survival. Proteins carry out many functions in a cell such as:

3) Hormones which are proteins play important role in the regulation of metabolic reactions inside the cell

4)  Regulation of cell division is performed by DNA-associated proteins  

5)  Proteins plays important role in storage of iron inside the cells

6) Proteins can be stored as fats inside the body and used as energy when needed by cells for its metabolic activities.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Brown eyes = 0.5

Blue eyes = 0.5

Explanation:

Given, B ( brown eyes ) is dominant over b ( blue/light eyes ). So,

BB = Brown

Bb = Brown

bb = blue/light

Mr. O'Ryan = blue eyes = bb

Mrs. O'Ryan = heterozygous brown eyes = Bb

Their children: Bb X bb :

      B        b

b    Bb     bb

b    Bb     bb

Half of the children will have Bb genotype and brown eyes, other half will have bb genotype and blue eyes. Hence, Kellan O'Ryan has 0.5 probability of blue eyes and 0.5 probability of brown eyes.
