During the early days of deciphering the human genome, scientists were surprised to find that the number of genes appeared to be

significantly fewer than what had been predicted on the basis of the estimated numbers of different proteins required by our cells. What aspect of nucleic acids and transcription can help explain this discrepancy?.

Given what we know, we can confirm that the aspect of nucleic acids and transcription that can help explain this discrepancy is that of alternative splicing.

<h3>Alternative Splicing.</h3>
  • This process allowed the cells to use a single gene for the creation of various proteins.
  • This process includes the separation of RNA at splicing sites to create new versions of the mRNA strand.
  • This helps to increase the diversity of mRNA's available and create more proteins.

Therefore, given that alternative splicing allows the cells to create multiple forms of distinct proteins from a single gene, this allowed our organisms to develop the vast number of proteins we use, without the need for a much larger genome.

2.<br> When would a recessive trait be seen<br> in an organism?
IgorC [24]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Only individuals with an aa genotype will express a recessive trait; therefore, offspring must receive one recessive allele from each parent to exhibit a recessive trait. One example of a recessive inherited trait is a smooth chin, as opposed to a dominant cleft chin. </em>

The sense organs in the human body are  the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. The sense organs are the body organs by which humans are able to see, smell, hear, taste, and touch or feel. The five sense organs are the eyes (for seeing), nose (for smelling), ears (for hearing), tongue (for tasting), and skin (for touching or feeling).

kolezko [41]

Answer:

At the time in our history when there were slave owners, it was part of our culture to own slaves to help with the labor on farms.  It did not make slave owners INHUMAN.  It was part of the culture of the times.  Maybe not the best part of our culture but was accepted by millions of people and I dont think there were millions of people that were INHUMAN.  It was part of our history and we learned from the mistakes of the past.  As our culture and society change so do the beliefs and acceptable societal norms.  Sometimes for the better sometimes for the worst.  Hopefully, most of the time for the better.
