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 grams of NaCl are needed to make 0.800 liter of a 5.00 M solution?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

             0.324 g is required to make 5.00 M solution of NaCl in 0.800 L.

Given data:

                 Molarity = 5.00 M

                 Formula Mass = 58.5 g/mol

                 Required volume = 0.800 L

To Find;

               Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

              Formula for calculating mass in gram is given as,

              Mass in gram = Molarity × Formula mass × Volume required / 1000 putting values

              Mass in gram = 5.00 M × 58.5 g/mol × 0.800 L / 1000

               Mass in gram = 0.234 g

The value of h for the reaction below is -73 kj how many kj of heat are released
jarptica [38.1K]
If the value of H is positive, it means you have to add that much heat to complete the reaction. If H is negative, it means that much heat is released during the chemical process. Because it is -73 kJ, 73 kJ of heat are released in the reaction.

Calculate the work done when an ideal gas expands isothermally and reversibly in a piston and cylinder assembly for expansion of
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

W=5743.1077\ J

Explanation:

The expression for the work done is:

W=RT \ln \left( \dfrac{P_1}{P_2} \right)

Where,

W is the amount of work done by the gas

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J / K mol

T is the temperature

P₁ is the initial pressure

P₂ is the final pressure

Given that:

T = 300 K

P₁ = 10 bar

P₂ = 1 bar

Applying in the equation as:

W=8.314\times 300 \ln \left( \dfrac{10}{1} \right)

W=300\times \:8.314\ln \left(10\right)

W=2.30258\times \:2494.2

W=5743.1077\ J
