I think you mean (CH2O)6, it is the formula for glucose (or it could be written C6H12O6).

The linear structure is characterized by the presence in the same molecule of a reducing function aldehyde or ketone and at least one alcohol function.

On the other hand, this linear form can be transformed into a cyclic form (in the solutions), and this implies the formation of hemiacetal by bonding between the aldehyde of carbon 1 and the alcohol of the penultimate carbon.

The chemical formula CH2O6 is not a carbohydrate unless it was written this way:
(CH2O)6 which is now the chemical formula of glucose.
Glucose has a linear and a cyclic structure. I will attach the structures since it's difficult to describe the drawing. The first one is straight chain and the next one is the ring.

Can recessive genes be expressed if the gene pair is heterozygous and why?

disa [49]

Answer:

Recessive alleles are denoted by a lowercase letter (a versus A). Only individuals with an aa genotype will express a recessive trait; therefore, offspring must receive one recessive allele from each parent to exhibit a recessive trait.

The difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene regulation

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

To understand how gene expression is regulated, we must first understand how a gene codes for a functional protein in a cell. The process occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, just in slightly different manners.

Prokaryotic organisms are single-celled organisms that lack a cell nucleus, and their DNA therefore floats freely in the cell cytoplasm. To synthesize a protein, the processes of transcription and translation occur almost simultaneously. When the resulting protein is no longer needed, transcription stops. As a result, the primary method to control what type of protein and how much of each protein is expressed in a prokaryotic cell is the regulation of DNA transcription. All of the subsequent steps occur automatically. When more protein is required, more transcription occurs. Therefore, in prokaryotic cells, the control of gene expression is mostly at the transcriptional level.

Eukaryotic cells, in contrast, have intracellular organelles that add to their complexity. In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is contained inside the cell’s nucleus and there it is transcribed into RNA. The newly synthesized RNA is then transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where ribosomes translate the RNA into protein. The processes of transcription and translation are physically separated by the nuclear membrane; transcription occurs only within the nucleus, and translation occurs only outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm. The regulation of gene expression can occur at all stages of the process (Figure 1). Regulation may occur when the DNA is uncoiled and loosened from nucleosomes to bind transcription factors (epigenetic level), when the RNA is transcribed (transcriptional level), when the RNA is processed and exported to the cytoplasm after it is transcribed (post-transcriptional level), when the RNA is translated into protein (translational level), or after the protein has been made (post-translational level).
