The vertebrate pax-6 gene product (the pax-6 protein) triggers a complex program of gene expression resulting in formation of th

e vertebrate eye, which has a single lens. the fly pax-6 gene leads to formation of the compound fly eye. when scientists cloned a mouse pax-6 gene and introduced it into a fly embryo, it led to formation of the compound eye of a fly. what did scientists induce from this? the vertebrate pax-6 gene product (the pax-6 protein) triggers a complex program of gene expression resulting in formation of the vertebrate eye, which has a single lens. the fly pax-6 gene leads to formation of the compound fly eye. when scientists cloned a mouse pax-6 gene and introduced it into a fly embryo, it led to formation of the compound eye of a fly. what did scientists induce from this?

The PAX-6 gene is a gene that translates to the PAX-6 protein that serves as a transcription factor needed to activate certain genes that functions in the development of the eyes. While PAX-6 gene may look like it produces different functions for different species (such as formation of the compound eye in insects vs. formation of a single lens eye in vertebrates), it does not. It does in fact only regulate the genes required for the formation of the eyes. Absence or mutation of the PAX-6 gene will cause aniridia or absence of the iris, opaque lens and cornea, and a dysfunctional retina. Also, the function of the PAX-6 protein is conserved throughout evolution of species.

slavikrds [6]

The wood in a matchstick is made of cellulose, a polymer of glucose molecules. When you light the matchstick, heat and light are given off, indicating that an exothermic reaction is occurring.

There are two types of reactions:

1. Exothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat is liberated. Example, burning of fuel.

2.Endothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat gets absorbed from the surroundings. Example, photosynthesis in plants where the energy of the Sun gets absorbed.
