Explain the purpose and function of a gene.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
8 0

Function

Genes decide almost everything about a living being. One or more genes can affect a specific trait. Genes may interact with an individual’s environment too and change what the gene makes.

Genes affect hundreds of internal and external factors, such as whether a person will get a particular color of eyes or what diseases they may develop.

Some diseases, such as sickle-cell anemia and Huntington’s disease, are inherited, and these are also affected by genes.

Purpose

The purpose of genes is to store information.

Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism.

Hope this helps !!

How many moles of co2 are produced when 5.20 mol of ethane are burned in an excess of oxygen?
galben [10]
<span>2C2H6 + 7O2 = 4CO2 + 6H2O
</span>
According to the equation of the reaction of ethane combustion, ethane and carbon dioxide have following stoichiometric ratio:

n(C2H6) : n(CO2) = 1 : 2

n(CO2) = 2 x n(C2H6) 

n(CO2) = 2 x 5.2 = 10.4 mole of CO2 is formed

Determine the density of gold if a 475.09g sample occupy a space of 24.6cm^3
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>19.31 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}

From the question

mass of gold = 475.09g

volume = 24.6 cm³

The density of the gold is

density =  \frac{475.09}{24 .6}  \\  = 19.3126016...

We have the final answer as

<h3>19.31 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

Five drops of 1.0M NaOH increase the pH of a solution from 3.0 to 4.6. Five additional drops of 1.0M NaOH increase the pH to 4.7
Andrej [43]
The solution is buffered with a weak acid and it's conjugate base. Since NaOH is a base, you can use a weak acid as it's buffer.

PLEASE HELP ASAP! 32 mins left! Give the sign of the electrodoes and the reaction of that occurs at each for both voltaic and el
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

In a voltaic cell (one that happens spontaneously), electrons flow from a negative electrode to a positive electrode (anode  cathode). The reaction that happens is a redox reaction where the anode is oxidized (goes from a solid to an ion) and the cathode is reduced (going from an ion to a solid).
