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.

What are the subunits of proteins? Of starch? Of DNA
Usimov [2.4K]
1. Proteins are made from subunits called amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids which are responsible for the variation of proteins. Those amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds and form polypeptide chains. According to the polypeptide structure, there are 4 levels in protein structure as primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure and quaternary structure.

2. Starch is a type of carbohydrate. Hence, the subunits of starch are sugar molecules which are called as glucose. The elements of glucose are C,H,O. By linking glucose units with 1-4 alpha glycosidic bonds, the polysaccharide chain is formed. Hence, starch is also a polysaccharide<span>.

3. DNA is made from subunits called nucleotides. Nucleotides consist of deoxyribose, phosphate group and nitrogenous base. There are two types of nitrogenous base as purines and pyrimidines. Adenine (A) and guanine (G) are purines and thymine (T) and cytosine (C) can be seen as pyrimidines. Those nucleotides are linked together by sugar phosphate bonds which are formed between 5' phosphate group and 3' -OH group<span>.</span><span>

Mice collected from the Sonoran desert have two phenotypes, dark(D) and light (d). The mice shown below were collected in a trap
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Frequency of individuals with recessive trait(dd)= 71.4 %

Explanation:

Please see the attached.

In the image it is clear that there are total 26 mouse out of which 6 are dark colored.

Since dark color allele is dominant, these  6 dark colored mouse will have genotype either  DD or Dd

The individuals with genotype "dd" will be of light color.

Number of light colored mouse = 21 -6 = 15

Frequency of individuals with recessive trait(dd)

= \frac{15}{21} * 100\\

= 71.4 %

If a genetic disease is recessive, a person must inherit
dlinn [17]
If a genetic disease is recessive, a person must inherit the recessive gene from both parents. If they were to inherit a dominant gene, the disease would be over powered and unapparent in the offspring.

Hope that helps!
