Answer:
Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. Gregor Mendel, a scientist and Augustinian friar, discovered genetics in the late 19th-century. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. A-C-G-G-T is <u>duplication</u>.
2. C-G-T is <u>deletion</u>.
3. A-G-C-T is <u>reordering</u>.
Explanation:
Your original sequence is ACGT. You compare the original sequence to the 3 mutations.
1. There 2 G's now, which means that the G has been duplicated.
2. The A is now gone in the front of the sequence.
3. The C and G were switched.

F) Thermohaline circulation pattern move surface water from equatorial regions to the poles
Answer:
They act to regulate the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive)
Explanation:
Testosterone is a reproductive hormone in male humans. Testosterone as well as its closely related hormones e.g dihydrotestosterone, all belong to a class of hormones called "Androgens".
Androgens operate by entering into a cell and binds with specific androgen-receptor proteins (AR proteins). This contact activates the AR proteins, forming an androgen-receptor complex.
This complex then translocates into the nucleus of specific cells to bind to the DNA. Once it binds, it either inhibits or promotes the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive). Hence, AR proteins are transcription factors because they play a significant role in regulating transcription of specific genes i.e. turning 'on' or 'off' of specific genes.
This process helps to direct the development of male sexual characteristics.
