The genetic basis of coat-color variation in Texas Longhorn cattle is caused by DIFFERENCES  in the nucleotide sequences of genes. The order of nucleotides determines these differences.

During gene transcription, a segment of DNA called gene is used to create a complementary mRNA.

Subsequently, this mRNA is used as a template to create a polypeptide (i.e., a protein) by a process called translation.

The triplets of nucleotides or 'codons' in mRNA determine specific amino acids that will be added to the nascent polypeptide.

The order of nucleotides in DNA determines the codons in mRNA and ultimately the differences in amino acids that will be added to the proteins (in this case, proteins involved in variation for the 'coat-color' trait).

DNA, the genetic material of living organisms, is damaged by light in the
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The correct option is <em>B) ultraviolet region, especially below a wavelength of 320 nm.</em>

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light carries an enormous amount of energy in it. It is invisible to the human eye. When UV light with enormous energy and wavelength lesser than 320nm, hits the DNA, it causes changes in the structure of the DNA. Mostly, it affects the thymine nitrogenous base regions and forms pyrimidine dimers. The structure of the DNA changes on all the sites where dimers form and hence, they cannot be properly transcribed.

Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Montano1993 [528]

Prokaryotes are usually smaller than eukaryotes. They also don’t have a nucleus so DNA is in the cytoplasm. They also have no organelle membranes where as eukaryotes do. Domains of prokaryotes include Bacteria and Archaea, and all eukaryotes are in the domain Eukarya. Both can be free living, but only eukaryotes can be multicellular. Prokaryotes first appeared on earth about 3.5 billions then eukaryotes appeared about a billion years later. Etc....
