What is path function in thermodynamics?
a function whose magnitude depends on the path followed by the function and on the end points.
What is the normal function of the retinal blastoma gene?
tumor suppresser gene which codes for a protein that regulates E2F protein which is a cell cycle controller
How are the knockout mice useful in determining the function of genes?
Knock out mice are produced by impairing or deleting a particular gene expression. Thus the gene function (which was deleted) can be tracked by studying this knock out and the control mice. Lets say a gene is suspected to trigger immune response against a pathogen, one can study this by infecting the wild type(normal) and knock out(specific gene deleted) mice and study the role of the gene.
What is meant by gene knockout testing?
A knockout organism is an organism that's missing a functioning gene. They're used to test the function of genes and genetic diseases, because a researcher can observe specific changes in a gene knockout organism's gene expression and traits.
What function perform bobbed gene?
Bobtails are reduced tail in some Drosophila, its production is controlled by a gene which is called bobbed gene which is a recessive gene. So to produce the bob-tailed offsprings both the parents must be bobtailed. Munib-ur-Rahman
What is the definition of microbial genetics?
it is the study of gene and gene function in micro organisms.
How is it possible for a point mutation to have no effect on the function of gene?
If the point mutation does not change the protein to be translated in the 3-letter sequence, then it will have no effect on the gene's function.
How you find fixed points of a function?
The fixed points of a function f(x) are the points where f(x)= x.
Who determines gene function?
genetic engineer
What is an antimorph?
An antimorph is a gain of function mutation which acts in opposition to the normal gene's function.
What is the the function of a vertabrate?
Assuming you mean vertebrate and not vertabrate, its function is to propagate its gene line.
What is a dominant from of an alleles?
The dominant form is usually the unmutated wild type that still has a function. The recessive is generally the mutated gene and typically corresponds to loss of function of the gene.
What is pleotrophism?
Used to refer to the ability of a gene to cause multiple physical characteristics that are not related with the gene function.
What is the first function to have points in common with the domain of the second function?
If you want to compose two functions, you need the range of the first function to have points in common with the _____ of the second function.
What is the function of p21 gene?
The p21 gene codes for a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, which helps to regulate the cell cycle.
What clues did bacterial transformation yield about the gene?
That gene is a functional unit of DNA. And when it is transformed to another organism it carry out that function there.
A value is in the domain of a function if there is a what on the graph of the function at that x-value?
points
