What does it mean for a gene to be turned off or not expressed?
Transcription into RNA does not occur for that gene.
What does it mean for a gene to be off?
How is a gene not expressed
When a gene or genes which code for units which make up a protein are turned on by?
expressed
What is gene silencing?
When a gene is "turned off", usually by a newish discovery called miRNA.
An expressed gene is one that what?
a gene being expressed means it is shown, for example if you have the gene for brown eyes and the gene for blue eyes, only one can be expressed. if you have brown eyes that gene is expressed, if not the blue-eye gene is expressed.
Which parts of a gene are expressed as protein?
Coding sequences of a gene are expressed as protein
How is a non-constituative gene turned off?
repressor proteins block the gene physically and prevent transcription from occurring
If a specific kind of protein is not continually used by a cell the gene for that protein is?
the gene is never expressed. ^^^^ this guy is a frickin idiot. and this would more of be in the cells/ biology section. What happens is a repressor binds to the operator and turns off the gene so the protein doesn't get made. and when its needed the repressor detaches and the gene is turned back on. ( this all happens on a strand of DNA )
What gene that is always expressed and will produce a trait?
The gene that is always expressed and will produces a trait is a genetic statistic. This statistic is what is created when the gene is dominant.
What is an AADL Arabidopsis?
It is an arabidopsis plant with the AADL protein "turned off." Scientists insert a nucleotide into the gene sequence which stops the AADL gene from being able to function. The AADL gene tells a ribosome to make the AADL protein. With it being turned off, the AADL protein never gets made.
What is is the principal of dominance?
One gene on a chromosome is expressed, while the other gene on the homologous chromosome, being recessive, is not expressed.
What is the gene that is not expressed due to the influence of a dominant gene called?
Purebred
