Are Genes present in heterochromatin readily expressed?

No. Heterochromatic regions of DNA are not readily expressed as they are densely packaged. Some of these regions do not code for genes at all.


What dictates the corresponding sequence of amino acids in a growing polypeptide chain?

The sequence of amino acids being added to the growing polypeptide chain is controlled by the instructions (codons, 3-base codes) on the mRNA. These are a copy of the coding regions of the gene from the DNA in the nucleus.


What are the types of Albanian Music?

Folk music is quite popular in Albania. It is expressed in various forms such as polyphony, where a song is sung without instruments and polyphonies where instruments such as flutes or portions of other songs are used. Many regions in Albania have their own preferences and variants of folk music as well.

Why is the outdated term junk DNA a misnomer for noncoding regions of the human genome?

The conservation of "junk DNA" sequences in diverse genomes suggests that they have important functions.


What are the regions of DNA called that code for protein?

The coding regions of many eukaryotic genes are interrupted by non-coding sequences known as INTRONS. They are stretches of DNA whose transcripts are absent from mature mRNA product.


What is the function of genes in making proteins?

The gene codes for the protein. Long story short, after transcription of the gene into a mRNA template, it is read by the ribosome where tRNA molecules bind and add amino acids specific to regions (codons) in the mRNA until an amino acid chain, or polypeptide, is created. Once the polypeptide folds and/or binds with cofactors, etc. it forms a protein.


Which regions of the chromosomes will typically be in the form of hereochromatin?

There are certain regions that are tightly coiled. When the DNA is stained with a dye these regions appear in a dark band and are called hetrochromatin. They are the part of the chromosome that are not actively expressed in the cells. A heterochromatin in one cell may be functional in other cells.
