Explain how the DNA in genes relates to the traits of an organism-?
DNA is a giant molecule, a string of nuclear bases that from genes. These genes are the code to make an organism. In fact every trait in an organism is a result of the genes' action and therefore the composition of the DNA.
When a extra base is added to an organism DNA the mutation is known as a?
frameshift mutation.
What is a transgentic organism?
A transgentic organism is an organism that contains functional recombinant DNA from a different organism and it contains foreign DNA.
What is the study of the entire DNA sequence of an organism?
Genes
When DNA is extracted from E coli cells and analyzed for base composition it is found that 42 percent of the bases are cytosine this means that there is also 42 percent of which base?
thymine
The traits of an organism are controlled by its?
DNA base sequence
What individual of an organism is determined by the?
DNA base sequence
The individuality of an organism is determined by the organisms?
DNA base sequence
What is Chargaff known for?
In 1950, Erwin Chargaff analysed the base composition of DNA composition in a number of organisms. He reported that DNA composition varies from one species to another so allowing for the ascertaining of differential.

How do mutations occur in an organism?
In the base sequence of the DNA part of the DNA changes which causes a change in the whole DNA which is called a mutation.
When a extra base is added to an organism DNA the mutation is known as a?
frameshift mutation.
What is c-paradox?
The C-paradox refers to the challenge in reconciling classical physics with quantum mechanics, particularly as it relates to the nature of time and space. It highlights the contradictions that arise when trying to apply classical principles to quantum phenomena, such as the uncertainty principle and wave-particle duality. Resolving the C-paradox is a major goal in theoretical physics.
What is a transgentic organism?
A transgentic organism is an organism that contains functional recombinant DNA from a different organism and it contains foreign DNA.
What molecule provides the code of instructions for the characteristics of an organism?
The portion of a DNA molecule containing the coded instructions is the gene. It is the basic unit of heredity that is passed from a parent to an offspring.
How numerous base changes could occur in DNA yet have no effect on an organism's fitness?
Any number of base changes in DNA not coding for or controlling the coding of gene expression would have no effect on an organisms fitness.
What is the study of the entire DNA sequence of an organism?
Genes
