The right answer is DNA is located in the nucleus.
The genome is the whole genetic material of an organism. It contains both the coding sequences, i.e. those that encode proteins, and the non-coding sequences. In most organisms, the genome is the DNA in the cells. However, in some viruses called retroviruses (eg HIV), the genetic material is RNA.
Answer:
alleles-one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
dominant- The dominant allele of the gene is inherently dominant,so it hides the presence of the recessive allele
heterozygous-having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
homozygous-a particular gene that has identical alleles on both homologous chromosomes
recessive-A recessive gene is a gene that can be masked by a dominant gene
No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.
Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.
It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).
Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.
In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.
Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.
