Answer:
The correct answer for the fill in the blank is - A sequence of bases on the DNA that codes for a trait.
Gene is described as a segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) that codes for a particular protein, which in turn corresponds to a trait/ characteristic of the living organism.
Gene is first transcribed into mRNA ( messenger RNA) through a process called transcription. mRNA is then converted into protein through a process called translation.
The protein thus formed corresponds to a particular trait ( like eye color, hair color).
i hope this helps
Answer:
The correct options are B "The unusual F1 female is heterozygous for a reciprocal balanced translocation involving the chromosome with the apricot, bristle and clipped loci" and D "Independent assortment of non-compatible chromosome structures (i.e., translocated and normal chromosomes segregating together) in the F1 female led to the 90 eggs that aborted development"
Explanation:
The unexpected results obtained earlier can be attributed to the two factors listed above. At the time when meisois takes place, there is the process of independent assortment which leads to formation of zygotes. Due to the event of translocation, the eggs produced lacked some critical development genes.
Answer:
During the development of the fetus, the mechanism by which the mammalian skeletal system gives rise to tissues of the bone is termed as endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification also plays an essential role at the time of the development of the long bones length, rudimentary generation of the long bones, and healing of bone fractures naturally.
The following are the steps in the process of endochondral ossification:
f. The development of the cartilage model.
b. The calcification of cartilage takes place and the formation of bone collar occurs.
a. In the diaphysis, the formation of the ossification center takes place.
c. In the epiphysis, the formation of ossification centers takes place.
d. Replacement of cartilage takes place by the bone.
e. Ossification of epiphyseal plates takes place.
Answer:
1. Nucleotides
2. Amino acids
3. Amino acids
4. Glucose
Explanation:
All the above substance described are biomolecules. They are all polymers i.e. complex molecule bond together in a long repeating chain, made up of simpler subunits called monomers. The monomers of the different biomolecules outlined above are:
1. The nucleic acids, DNA and RNA carry genetic information and are made up of many NUCELEOTIDES. A nuceleotide is a chemical combination of a five carbon sugar (pentose), phosphate group and nitrogenous base. These nucleotides are arranged sequentially to form nucleic acids (RNA and DNA).
2. Myoglobin is a protein that binds oxygen molecules and is a polymer of AMINO ACIDS. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are arranged to form a 3D structure that determines the function of the protein.
3. Insulin is a protein hormone that regulates blood glucose levels and is a polymer of AMINO ACIDS. All proteins are made up of the amino acid but the protein's function is dependent on the 3D structure formed by the amino acid sequence.
4. Animals store energy in the form of glycogen, a carbohydrate made up of thousands of monosaccharide (GLUCOSE). Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of many monosaccharide units. These units are glucose molecules that are multibranched to form the glycogen that stores mainly in the liver and muscles of animals.
The knowledge gained will lead to further experimentation that could potentially result in a new use for the drug.
