The major contribution made by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty was 'transformation of nonvirulent cells with a DNA extract was blocked only if DNase was added'. This observation supported the idea that the transforming agent in Griffith's experiment was DNA.

The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment showed that DNA was the transforming agent observed in Griffith's experiment.

Griffith's experiment (1928) suggested that bacteria were capable of transferring genetic information (DNA) by a process of horizontal gene transfer called transformation.

While the bacteria were killed by heat, Frederick Griffith observed that the DNA had was taken up by II-R strain bacteria via transformation.

Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment observed that protease enzymes did not destroy the transforming agent (but DNAse destroyed this transforming principle), thereby suggesting that the transforming agent in Griffith's experiment was bacterial DNA.

In functional genomics, biologists use sequence information to identify the functions of various parts of genomes. Which of the
k0ka [10]

Answer:

E: specific proteins that are made by a cell under particular conditions

Explanation:

It is only specific proteins that are made by a cell under particular conditions can't be obtained from a genome sequence. In order to get information about this protein we need proteomics.

Genome sequence gives us an idea of nucleotide sequence of DNA and RNA molecules not proteins. Regulatory sequences such as promoters, enhancers, insulators, UTRs etc. all are a part of genome, rRNA genes are part of genome sequence too, non coding repetitive repeats and intron regions are also a part of genome sequence itself so option A, B & D are incorrect. Option C is also incorrect because amino acid sequence of  proteins can also be determined by genome sequences because each nucleotide triplet which is known as codon refers to a specific amino acid. Option E is correct because by genome sequence we can easily get to know about amino acid sequence but not about specific protein which is synthesized at a particular condition.

Aliun [14]

Mutations can be categorized based on the kind of effect they have on an organism. Blue eyes in humans are a result of a mutation in the OCA2 gene, which controls the production of pigment melanin in the iris.

This mutation is an example of a neutral mutation. Such mutations have no effect on an organism’s survival.
