Zolol [24]3 years ago

Answer:   Genes appear throughout the length of each chromosome, and each chromosome pair has a unique set of genes. ... In a diploid organism, the two corresponding genes in a chromosome pair, or alleles, might be identical or might have different base sequences. Each parent contributes one allele in each pair.Alleles are different forms of same gene. Genes are linearly arranged on chromosomes. Chromosomes contain genetic material of cell i.e. DNA. So chemically alleles, genes, chromosomes are all DNA !

Which statement correctly describes interactions between organisms in this ecosystem?
Nikitich [7]
An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.

Question 1 (2 points)
Blababa [14]

The amino acids coded triplets in the 3' to 5' strand on the normalp53 gene of chromosome 13 are lysine, leucine, Glutamine, stop codons.

Explanation:

mRNA is formed by the transcription of DNA strand coding for  a gene.

Any mutation in the DNA sequence even a difference of base pair would cause formation of different amino acids and hence altered protein.

The amino acid is formed in the step of translation where codes are read by tRNA on the mRNA strand and correct nucleotide is brought to growing polypeptide chain.

In transcription 3' to 5'  strand acts a template strand. The amino acids on the p53 gene of chromosome 17 is

3'TTT AAC   GTC    ATC 5'    Gene sequence

5' AAA UUG CAG   UAG 3'   mRNA

lysine, leucine, Glutamine, stop

Non-protein coding DNA in eukaryotes contains repetitive elements that include (select all that apply): Group of answer choices
Olegator [25]

Answer:

interspersed, transposon-derived repeats, simple sequence repeats.

Explanation:

In the human genome, not only the protein coding genes are present, in fact these genes make up just a very little portion of the human genome about 1.5-2% of the entire human genome. Repeats make up about 48% of the human genome which is the largest and the rest include, conserved non coding sequences (43.5%), heterochromatin regions etc.  

Some of the repetitive elements includes LINEs, SINEs, DNA fossils tranposoon, Retrovirus like elements. all these are transposable elements which are  mobile DNA sequences that can migrate to different  regions/areas of the genome.

Microsatellites (simple sequence repeats) are tracts of repetitive DNA in which certain DNA motifs are repeated normally 5-50 times.
