Can s single gene control more than one characteristic?
Yes, a single gene can control more than one characteristic through a concept called pleiotropy. This occurs when a gene influences multiple, seemingly unrelated traits or phenotypes. Examples include the gene responsible for sickle cell anemia, which can also affect resistance to malaria, or the gene responsible for Marfan syndrome, which can impact the heart, eyes, and skeleton.
What is the difference between single-gene traits and complex traits?
Single gene diseases only effect one typeof gene where im a complex genetic disease many genes are effected. An example of a single gene diseas is sickle cell anemia. Cancer would be an eexample of a complex gene disease.
What is multiple aleles?
Multiple alleles indicates that either the study is being conducted on alleles at more than one gene locus, that the characteristic being studied is controlled by several alleles at different loci or that there are two or more alleles at a single gene locus.
When a particular inherited characteristic is controlled more by one gene of a pair than by the other the stronger gene is called?
dominant
What is the Trojan gene effect?
The Trojan gene effect refers to a genetic phenomenon where a deleterious gene hitchhikes along with a beneficial gene that spreads through a population. This can result in the deleterious gene becoming more widespread even though it is harmful to the organism.
There or more forms of a gene that code for a single trait are called?
phenotype
When a particular inherited characteristic is controlled more by one of a pair than by the other the stronger gene is called?
dominant
A single gene has 3 or more alternative forms These are called?
The different forms or variations of a gene are called alleles. Thank you<3
Can a single gene control a single trait.?
It was once believed that one gene controls one trait, so it is possible. Currently, the belief is that one gene can interact with other genes to control a trait, and that one gene can control more than one trait.
What is a gene that has 3 or more alleles for a single trait?
An example of a gene with three or more alleles for a single trait is the ABO blood group gene. This gene has three main alleles - A, B, and O - which determine blood type. The different combinations of these alleles result in the various blood types (A, B, AB, and O) observed in humans.
What permits a single gene to code for more than one polypeptide?
Alternative splicing permits a single gene to code for more than one polypeptide. In alternative splicing, certain exons of a gene may be included or excluded from the messenger RNA used to code for proteins.
What characteristic of copper and aluminum causes the to be good conductors what is the effect?
They are both metals. The effect is that copper is more safer than aluminum. From Leah :)
