What roles do DNA and chromosomes play in the coding of instructions for the inheritance of traits, or those traits passed from

parents to offspring
Biology

Sav [38]2 years ago

Answer:

All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. ... Empirical evidence is required to differentiate between cause and correlation and to make claims about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for the characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring.

This shows that the animals are similar and that they develop similarly, implying that they are related, have common ancestors and that they started out the same, gradually evolving different traits, but that the basic plan for a creature's beginning remains the same.</span>

Match each definition to the appropriate term. locus
liraira [26]
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Hilda and her family are going on a sailing trip this summer, and Hilda is especially interested in spotting dolphins. In which zone of the ocean is Hilda most likely to spot dolphins? Hilda and her family are most likely to spot dolphins in the PELAGIC zone. To view shorebirds and crabs, Hilda should move towards the INTERTIDAL zone.

Explanation:

The Pelagic Zone

It is any water in an ocean or lake that can not be said to be positioned in proximity to the shore or in proximity to the bottom (the shore and the bottom are two distinct zones with a completely different properties.

Divisions of the Pelagic Zone

It can be grouped into subzones based on depth, we have the epipelagic, close to the top of the zone which as light been present, and the abyssopelagic, is nearer to the bottom with light being absent.

The intertidal zone

Its found between the high tide (upper limit) and low tide lines (lower limit), majorly on the beach at the water's edge.

The major attribute of the intertidal zone is that it is immersed with water at high tide and is in exposure to the air at lower limit. The intertidal zone is usually undergoing alterations leading to organisms that are uniquely adapted to strive there.

Organisms found in this zone are sea stars, crabs, mussels, barnacles, and various corals as they well situated to strive immersed in water and a region of their lives open air at lower limit.

kicyunya [14]
Answer- D. Mutualism

Reason - Frog is using water pools of water collect by flower. Which benefits the frog :)
Then the frog also dispersed its waste which then also the flower can use for its benefits. So in all it's mutualism

How did the stop codon mutation in Lucy's ADA gene stop her ADA protein from working?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

By stopping the translation process, leading to a non-functional protein.

Explanation:

The genes of organisms are the protein-coding regions of the genetic material (DNA). They are expressed in a two step process to produce functional products e.g proteins that bring about certain phenotypes in the organisms. The two stages involved in gene expression are viz: transcription and translation.

During transcription, the gene (DNA) is transcribed into RNA molecule which is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON during translation. Translation synthesizes an amino acid from each codon. A STOP CODON i.e. UUC, UUG and UUA signals the end of the translation process and brings it to an halt.

Hence, if a mutation i.e. a change in the nucleotide sequence, causes a stop codon to be produced during the expression of Lucy's ADA gene, the stop codon will signal the end of the translation process. Because the ADA protein was truncated, it will be non-functional i.e. not work in Lucy's body.
