These segments of DNA that contain the code for specific proteins are called genes.

Actual coding region of DNA are called exons.

Explanation:

A segment of DNA that codes for one distinct protein is called a gene. Each chromosome carries thousands of various genes. The genetic code of the DNA ever prevails protected inside the nucleus.

a gene is a stretch of DNA. Nucleotide consists of a sugar, phosphate and a base.. Genes are organized and packaged in units named “chromosomes.” Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Explain Segregation of alleles, using pea plant triats in your example. Help
earnstyle [38]
Segregation of alleles happens when the pair of alleles of each parent separate and only one allele passes from each parent on to an offspring. So if you had heterozygous tall plants and mated them (Tt x Tt), they would each separate into T and t, allowing each offspring to get either a T or a t from each parent. The possible genotypes would be TT, Tt and tt.

A researcher is studying different mutations in yeast. He isolates one yeast strain that fails to properly form replisomes. When
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is "both Cdc6 and Cdt1"

Explanation:

The replisome is a complex molecular system that allows for the replication of DNA in yeast. There are multiple genes that participate in the replisome function, however if a researcher finds out that a yeast strain fails to properly form replisomes it is very likely that the genes that might be mutated are both Cdc6 and Cdt1. Cdc6 and ORC are the genes that send the signal to the yeast to start the replisome formation, and Cdt1 is a DNA replication factor that if it is mutated it could cause that yeast is not able to form the replisome.
