Multigene families include two or more nearly identical genes with related functions. A classical example is the set of genes fo
r globin molecules, including genes on human chromosomes 11 and 16. Some of these genes produce hemoglobin only in the fetus or embryo. Others are very similar to functional genes, but have accumulated mutations and are no longer functional. A scheme of alpha globin gene family and beta globin gene family. The alpha globin gene cluster is located on chromosome 16 and includes the loci zeta, pseudozeta, pseudoalpha-2, pseudoalpha-1, alpha-2, alpha-1, pseudotheta. The zeta gene produces hemoglobin in the embryo; alpha-2 and alpha-1 produce hemoglobin in the fetus and adult. The beta-globin locus is located on chromosome 11. The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is epsilon, gamma-G, gamma-A, pseudobeta, delta, beta. Epsilon produces hemoglobin in the embryo, and gamma-G and gamma-A produce hemoglobin in the fetus. Delta and beta produce hemoglobin in the adult. What is the most likely mechanism for a gene sequence moving from one chromosome to another
Transposition to different chromosomes by the ancestral gene
Explanation:
Transposable Elements (TEs), also known as jumping genes, are genetic mobile elements which are able to move from one location to another on the genome. There are two major mechanisms of TE transposition: 1-cut-and-paste mechanism, where one particular TE is inserted into a new position on the genome without replication, and 2-copy-and-paste mechanism, where a new copy is generated and the original TE remains at the original genomic site. In this case, it is likely that new TE copies containing the ancestral (duplicated) gene have proliferated through the copy-and-paste mechanism.
Inside the air sacs, oxygen moves across paper-thin walls to tiny blood vessels called capillaries and into your blood. A protein called haemoglobin in the red blood cells then carries the oxygen around your body.
We will divide the total number of the teachers (246) in the auditorium with the maximum number of seats per row (18) to determine how many rows are completely filled;
246/ 18 = 13.6667
We are only interested in rows that are completely filled which is the whole number;
"It would have DNA." is the one among the following characteristics that would be exhibited based <span>on the concept of phylogeny, an organism that was ancestral to both the bacteria and eukaryota domains. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". </span>
Hence, during infection in vivo, a noncytopathic virus may turn off the "differentiation" or "luxury" function of a cell while not killing that cell (loss of vital function). This is turn can disrupt homeostasis and cause disease
