DNA sometimes has chemical groups attached, called methyl groups, that affect gene expression. Suppose that, during each hour, f

irst a fraction m of unmethylated locations on the DNA become methylated, and then a fraction u of methylated locations become unmethylated. Find a recursion for the fraction f of the DNA molecule that is methylated.

Answer:

f = m - u

Explanation:

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification associated with the regulation of gene expression. As such, the analysis of DNA methylation marks and the dynamics of this process may shed light on the genes that are being expressed at a given time in a given cell type/tissue. In the example above described, f is defined as the fraction of the DNA molecule that is methylated after one (1) hour, whose value can be estimated by subtracting u fraction (i.e., fraction of methylated locations that become unmethylated) from m fraction (i.e., fraction of unmethylated locations that become methylated).

In consequence, the equation is

f = m - u

An individual homozygous dominant for the thumb shape mates with an individual homozygous recessive for thumb shape. What are th
natulia [17]

Answer:

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which is made to check the outcomes of a cross.

To check the probability of the offsprings of a cross between homozygous dominant thumb shape parent with a homozygous recessive thumb shape parent, let's draw a punnet square:  

        t              t

T    Tt            Tt

T    Tt            Tt

The results of the punnet square depict that:

Genotype: All of the offsprings will be heterozygous for the thumb shape trait. Tt will be the genotype.

Phenotype: All of the offsprings will show the thumb shape like the thumb shape of the dominant parent.

What type of mutation in nucleotide 4 would produce the same amino acid?
g100num [7]
Most likely a silent mutation. Silent mutations are mutations in DNA that do not have an observable effect on the organism's phenotype because the same amino acid is produced regardless of the change in the nucleotide sequence by the mutation.

 What chromosome is a sex-linked trait located on?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Sex linked is a trait in which a gene is located on a sex chromosome. In humans, the term generally refers to traits that are influenced by genes on the X chromosome. This is because the X chromosome is large and contains many more genes than the smaller Y chromosome.

Which is a negative consequence of using DNA technology in forensics?
seropon [69]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Having untested DNA samples

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>DNA technology has a great and a wide variety of important uses, which ranges from,paternity testing, to matching the DNA samples of suspects collected at a crime scene, to matching relatives to a missing person's DNA.</u></em>
  • However, <em><u>use of DNA in forensics may have negative consequences which includes, the backlogs of forensic evidence and also present of untested DNA samples which delays the whole process.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Having untested DNA samples refers to presence of evidence collected from the crime scenes that is untested and instead it is stored in the law enforcement evidence rooms and has not been submitted to crime laboratory to be analyzed. </u></em>
