What term defines a gene made up of two different alleles

Biology

The right answer is Heterozygous

An individual is heterozygous for a gene when he has two different alleles of that gene.


Heterozygosity, being heterozygous, decreases the risk of expression of deleterious recessive alleles and allows for different versions of the same gene, which can be a guarantee of adaptability to changing environmental conditions.

kykrilka [37]

Explanation:

Why is it beneficial for an organism to have its tissues near its optimal temperature? List various functions or activities that may be affected if the body temperature deviates too far from the temperature optimum (which functions or activities are mediated by proteins)?

a.) Muscle-movements

b.) Digestion of food

c.) Growth and development

Just about every aspect of an organisms daily functions are governed by the actions of proteins, be they structural proteins that determine cell shape, motor-protein that move vesicles inside the cell or allow muscle cells to contract, or be they enzymes that catalyze the vast majority of chemical reactions a cell has to engage in.

It turns out that every living organism gives off some heat. The difference between endotherms and ectotherms is merely the rate at which this heat is produced by the organism.

In fact, even plants and bacteria produce some heat as they go through their daily lives. This is evident in early spring, when the earliest spring flowers manage to thaw themselves through a solid ice layer, or when you overturn a compost heap on a crisp fall day in which bacteria decomposers are very active you will see steam rising from the pile.

What source have we already discussed that can produce this heat given off by organisms to their environment?

a) negative delta G of energetically coupled reactions.

Endotherms take advantage in particular of cellular respiration to ramp up that heat given off from energetically coupled reactions due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

As a consequence, endotherms maintain highly elevated rates of cellular respiration compared to ectotherms

b.) lowering of activation energy by an organism's enzymes

Ganezh [65]

<u>Answer</u>:

The nucleus is primarily stores most of the cell's DNA.

<u>Explanation</u>:

It is made up of two chains which coils around each other, together they form a helical structure tat further carries the genetic information, which will help in the development, functioning and also the growth and reproduction in all known organism and in viruses. The nucleus is stored in it and the nucleus has the genetic material. They are composed of the nucleotides, in which each nucleotide has four nitrogen. These nucleotides are together joined with covalent bond to each other. Together they have the biological information.

Flatworms use a system of canals and tubes with the ______ as their excretory organ.
Kazeer [188]
<span>Flatworms use a system of canals and tubes with the mouth as their excretory organ. They belong to the Phylum Platyheminthes. </span><span>Flatworms can be cut in half creating two individuals by binary fission. Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction in which the offspring has the same features and characteristics of the parent. During binary fission, the DNA replicates into two and goes at the end of each membrane. And then the cell membrane divides into two daughter cells. Then cytokinesis follow.</span>
