A human gene was initially identified as having three exons and two introns. The exons are 456, 224, and 524 bp, whereas the int

rons are 2.3 kb and 4.6 kb.
Required:
a. Draw this gene, showing the promoter, introns, exons, and transcription start and stop sites.
b. Surprisingly, this gene is found to encode not one but two mRNAs that have only 224 nucleotides in common. The original mRNA is 1204 nucleotides, and the new mRNA is 2524 nucleotides. Use your drawing to show how this one region of DNA can encode these two transcripts.

A bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage
dem82 [27]

The complete question is:

a bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage composed of the T2 phage protein coat and T4 phage DNA. The new phages produced would have

A) T2 protein and T4 DNA

B) T2 protein and T2 DNA

C) a mixture of DNA and proteins of both phages.

D) T4 protein and T4 DNA

E) T4 protein and T2 DNA

A bacterium infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage will give new phages with the virus' DNA and the type of proteins that this DNA encodes.

A bacteriophage is a virus that attaches itself to a bacteria and uses it to replicate itself. Viruses have two main parts, a protein coat and their DNA inside it.

  • The experimentally constructed bacteriophage has one type of protein that makes the coat, the T2. This type of protein will allow the virus to attach and infect the bacteria.
  • Once the virus attaches itself to the bacteria, it will introduce its DNA, T4 type, and use the bacteria elements to replicate it and create new phages.
  • As a result, the new phages will have T4 DNA, and the proteins that the virus synthesizes will be the same type as the DNA.

In conclusion, The new phages produced would have D) T4 protein and T4 DNA.

Shell color in clams is thought to be controlled by three different genes (each with two alleles). Shell coloration runs a range
sergejj [24]

The correct answer is A. Quantitative traits

Explanation:

In genetics, quantitative traits refer to traits or phenotypes (observable traits) that depend on many factors including multiple genes and actions in the environment. These traits differ from other traits because the traits tend to be more diverse in a population. In the case presented, the shell color in clams is an example of a quantitative trait because this phenotype is the result of three different each and each gene contains two alleles which means the color depends on many factors. Additionally, as most quantitative traits there is a higher variation in the phenotype considering clams can have different hues.

Why do populations have variation of certain traits
HACTEHA [7]
To know where it rightfully belongs to. Variation of certain traits is caused by multiple factors of an individual of the same kind. Depending on their physical appearance, their environment and nature of survival.

Hope this might help.
