A Punnett square is used to determine the __________.
A) Probable outcome of a genetic cross
B) Different forms of a gene
C) Result of a gene mutation
D) Actual outcome of a genetic cross.
Answer:
The nucleus regulates the synthesis of proteins in the cytoplasm through the use of messenger RNA (mRNA). Messenger RNA is a transcribed DNA segment that serves as a template for protein production. It is produced in the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm through the nuclear pores of the nuclear envelope, which you'll read about below. Once in the cytoplasm, ribosomes and another RNA molecule called transfer RNA work together to translate mRNA in order to produce proteins.
The ecological pyramid is smaller at the top due to the lower amount of species to fit into the category (diversity is decreased, and the higher, the more suppressed the energy is in the animals/species).
Dominant- determines the dominant character, more frequently found in the population, produces the complete polypeptide, does not require the presence of a similar gene, more likely to be inherited, more prone to produce diseases
recessive- responsible for the recessive character, expresses the recessive trait, produces an incomplete polypeptide, requires the presence of a similar gene, less likely to be inherited, less prone to produce disease
