Are genes a segment of DNA containing a set of instructions for making a protein ?

Biology

brilliants [131]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The given statement is True.

Gene can be described as the segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid), which codes for a particular protein. The protein thus formed, corresponds to a specific trait ( such as skin color, hair color, color of eye) of the individual organism.

They possess set of  instructions for making a protein in the form of nucleotide sequences. Gene undergo transcription to form mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then converted into particular protein through translation.

Genes are inherited from parents by their offspring and in this way specific traits are inherited by offspring from their parents.

Thus, given statement in the question is correct.

What episode wiped out many insect species in the world?
igomit [66]
The answer is Permian-Triassic extinction.

The Permian-Triassic extinction was 252 million years ago. It is known as The Great Dying because about 95% of all species died out due to environmental changes (volcanic eruptions, dry climate, melting of ice sheets, etc). This is also the only event in which many insect species wiped out.

Evolution can be guided by random processes. What is the effect called when some genotypes are lost in a small population over t
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift is defined as the random change in allelic frequencies from one generation to the other.

Genetic drift is an evolutionary mechanism in which the allelic frequencies in a population change through many generations. Its effects are harder in a small-sized population, meaning that this effect is inversely proportional to the population size. Genetic drift results in some alleles loss, even those that are beneficial for the population, and the fixation of some other alleles by an increase in their frequencies. The final consequence is to <u>randomly</u> fixate one of the alleles. Low-frequency alleles are the most likely to be lost. Genetic drift results in a loss of genetic variability within a population.  

Genetic drift has important effects on a population when this last one reduces its size dramatically because of a disaster -bottleneck effect- or because of a population split -founder effect-.
