Substances known for their ability to transfer electrons from one place to another have low resistance?
Substances known for their ability to control thousands of biochemical activities , one of the most important is the transfer of electrons , are called enzymes. An enzyme is a type of protein, all proteins are derived from genes, and "resistance ( low or high )" is determined by all of the chemical signals that determine and influence the expression of these genes.
What is the study of how genes are transferred from parents to their children and the role of genes in health and disease is known as?
Genetics
What are the traits produced by an organisms genes?
All inherited traits are a product of the organism's genes.
Genes found on the x and y chromosomes are often called?
sex-linked genes
Can a offspring have blond hair if one parent has blond hair and one parent has black hair?
Unfortunately, very little is known about the genetics of hair color. About all we do know is, the color of one's hair is determined by how much of a pigment called eumelanin it contains. In addition, the amount of eumelanin is controlled by many genes working together (possibly with some genes shutting off or turning on other genes) so the answer cannot be worked out in a simple Mendelian way. That being said, it's possible a blonde person with two dark-haired parents may be able to pass dark hair on to his or her offspring.
Characteristics such as hair color and height are called?
Characteristics such as hair color and height are called phenotypes. Phenotypes are determined by the make up of alleles in the body, known as genotypes.
How do you find the volume of a cylinder if you only know the height?
The volume cannot be determined with only the height known.
Are an organism's characteristics determined only by it's genes?
No, an organism's genetically expressed characteristics, or phenotype, may be altered or affected by its environment; in a purely physical connotation, Nature versus Nurture. There are dozens of Cell types yet we are told that all Cells contain the same set of Genes; how can this be? An organism is composed from organs. The characteristics of an organ are determined by the Expression of the genes that are ensconced in its Nucleus. It is highly common that many 'gene products' act as biochemical switches that by their presence, or absence, determine {called determination} wether or not another gene will be 'actively' expressed. This would be 'internal regulation'. The NEW SCIENCE OF EPIGENETICS focuses on the external or environmental molecular switches that effect (the) patterns of gene expression.
What is an example of Epistasis?
Epistasis is when genes interact that aren't alleles. The genes begin to suppress other genes, For example: baldness, or a widow's peak.
What is the length in inches of a triangles altitude if its base is thirty-two inches?
I suppose by "length of a triangles altitude" you mean height. The height of the triangle in question cannot be determined from the information given. In order to determine the height of the triangle, two dimensions must be known.
What are the benefits of drinking saffron milk?
There are no known benefits of drinking saffron milk. It will not lighten skin because skin color is determined by DNA.
Is eye color a inheritance?
eye colour is due to polygenic inheritance. 2 genes specify for the green/blue pigments and 2 or more genes encode for the brown pigment. the brown genes mask the blue/green genes. eye colour is purely genetic as it is not subject to environmental influences. it was originally thought that eye colour was controlled by 2 genes, but since the human genome project , it is now known that many more genes are involved.
What is the meaning of deep to the formula of volume of a cube?
The volume of a cuboid is determined by multiplying together its three dimensions. These are usually known as the length, and width or breadth and height or depth.
Genes that prevent the other gene from showing traits are called?
Gene genes that keep other genes from showing are known as what
How many genes do homo sapiens have?
Humans have approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in their DNA, although this number can vary slightly between individuals.
