What are genes??????

Biology
1 answer:
Oksana_A [137]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: In biology, a gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA. The RNA can be directly functional or be the intermediate template for a protein that performs a function. Genes and DNA are different..... DNA is the molecule that is the hereditary material in all living cells. Genes are made of DNA, and so is the genome itself. A gene consists of enough DNA to code for one protein, and a genome is simply the sum total of an organism's DNA.

Hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a great day/night!!! :D

Explanation:

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Think about the dna coding sequence of a gene. if an a were swapped for a t, what kind of mutation could it cause and why? think
vekshin1
Hi, 

I think the answer you're looking for is already in the question you submitted. However, I disagree that a frameshift could result from the mutation because frameshifts would only happen if there were insertions or deletions in the sequence. For your question, this is an example of a simple point mutation/nucleotide base substitution, and would only result to either a missense or a nonsense mutation. Depending on the bases flanking your mutation, this results to transcribing a different sequence of RNA leading to translating either a different amino acid or a stop codon.

Which of the following is true regarding the structure of enzymes?
Vesnalui [34]
Enzyme function is influenced by physical and chemical environment factors such as pH and temperature.
-Enzymes may require a nonprotein cofactor or ion for catalysis to take place.
-Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering activation energy barriers.

What is the region of dna that controls the hereditary character
Naily [24]
<span>Genes.Genes are the working unit of the hereditary character of DNA. Genes act as instructions usually coding for a particular protein or function. One form of gene which are called alleles <span>determines the traits that can be passed on from parents to offspring.</span></span>
