Why is DNA referred to as the genetic code?​

Biology
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]3 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.

Kaylis [27]

i) Because the worms would have either learned to become night worms or all day worms would have been eaten faster than they could reproduce

ii) Natural selection. Humans had no interaction with which worms survived, so it's all natural.

I hope this helps! Good luck!

Compared the Mendelian Dominance, how to incomplete dominance and codominance increase the number of phenotypes? Provide an exam
REY [17]

Answer/Explanation:

<h3>Incomplete dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, one allele is not entirely dominant over the other, so heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) show an intermediate or blended phenotype.

For example, consider flower colour.

  • If the allele for red flowers (R) was dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, and rr) and two possible phenotypes. (Red (RR and Rr) and white (rr)).
  • However, if the allele for red flowers (R) was incompletely dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, rr), and three possible phenotypes (red (RR), white (rr), and pink (Rr))
<h3>Co-dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, two alleles are both expressed, one is not dominant over the other. Therefore, heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) express both traits.

For example, consider flower patterns.

  • If the allele for spots (F) was dominant over the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, and ff) and two possible phenotypes. (Spots (Ff and ff) and stripes (ff)).
  • However, if the allele for spots (F) was co-dominant to the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, ff), and three possible phenotypes (spots (FF), stripes (ff), and spots and stripes (Ff))

Why are telomeres problematic for eukaryotic chromosome replication? a) They are highly repetitive and thus hard to replicate co
Natalka [10]

Answer: Option E

Maintaining very long telomeres promotes cancer cell formation.

Explanation:

Telomere refers to either of the sequences of DNA at each end of a eukaryotic chromosome.

Usually, in eukaryote chromosome replication, telomeres are not replicated.

Hence, they are usually lost resulting in the shortening of the telomere ends after repeated cycle of cell division. This also leads to cell aging and stoppage of cell division.

The shortening of telomere combined with stoppage of cell division, and cell aging initiation prevent CANCER, which thrives on lengthy telomeres
