Why is DNA referred to as the genetic code?​

Biology
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]2 years ago
4 0

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

The genes dumpy (dp), clot (cl), and apterous (ap) are linked on chromosome II of Drosophila. In a series of two-point mapping c
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The order of genes is- dp-cl-ap

Explanation:

The genes a be mapped on chromosome on the basis of the recombination frequency as the recombination shows that is the genes are linked or not.  In genetic mapping, 1 per cent recombination frequency is considered as 1 cM or map distance.

In the given question, the three gene distance are provided on the basis of which the gene can be mapped in the following manner:

1. Take the higher value of gene distance that is 42 m.u and plot them on the line,

2. now place second-highest value on the line that is 39 m.u.

3. The gene will be arranged in the order of dp-cl-ap.

4. dp--³---cl-----------³⁹---------------------ap.

Thus, dp-cl-ap is correct.

Why do polygenic characteristics have many phenotypes?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The involvement of more than two genes.

Explanation:

The polygenic characteristics have many phenotypes because more than two genes governs the phenotype of individual organism. The single gene contains a pair of alleles that codes for two phenotype and two genes will code for 4 phenotype. Thus, more than two genes for example, three genes will have six phenotypes.

The skin color and height are polygenic characterstics in humans.
