How does a cell divide to create cells with exactly half of the original cells genetic information?
the organisms can spread to cause cancer.
Is DNA organized on chromosomes?
DNA in the cell is wrapped around histones to create a 30 nm fiber which is organized into chromatin.
What does genetic information in DNA do?
The genes are the chemical "blueprints" to create copies of organisms, and more specifically to be carried in the haploid sex cells that form the offspring in sexual reproduction. The chromosomes formed by genes contain all the information to create a copy of the parent organism, or in the case of sexual reproduction, a version of both parents.
Importance of mitosis to all living things?
In order to create identical daughter cells with the exact copy of genetic information. In addition to repair and regrow any damage done by any reason
What does speciation create?
When a population breeds with another population.
Within a large population how does conjugation benefit ciliates?
Helps to Create and Maintain genetic diversity
What is a type of reproduction where there is a exchange of genetic information in order to create new individuals?
Sexual
Does crossing over help evolution create brand new beneficial genetic information useful for molecules to man evolution?
Not so much. Crossing over keeps genetic diversity within a population, but one needs a mutation to arise for real adaptive change to take place.
Will it ever be possible to speed up the genetic-evolutionary proccess?
When humans breed animals or plants, they are speeding up evolution to create organisms that are more useful to them. Also, genetic engineering could do the same thing (although I am strongly against genetic engineering and it would take me a long time to explain why). The long and the short of it is "Yes."
What effects can mutations have on a virus?
They create genetic variations.
How does a cell divide to create cells with exactly half of the original cells genetic information?
the organisms can spread to cause cancer.
What Is the benefit of gene swapping to the prokaryote population?
Since prokaryotes can only reproduce asexually gene swapping is a way for them to create genetic diveresity.
What information do you need to create a graph?
You need numerical data on some characteristic of a population.
What is the primary function of DNA?
DNA is the genetic material of cells. The major function of DNA is to store and transmit genetic (hereditary) information. It does this by providing a code (the genetic code) for the production of proteins by the cell.
Is it irresponsible and unsafe to create genetic code?
No
Did the devil create monsters?
No. Only people and genetic mutations create monsters.
Why are biotechnology companies interested in genetic information?
Biotechnology companies are interested in genetic information in order to use genectic modification to create modifications in DNA that result in new traits in an organism. For example, biotech companies have created crops that are resistant to herbicides like Glysophate, and ones that produce an insecticide within the plant itself. Pharmeceudical companies are interested in genetic information in order to use it to create new drugs. Since patents can be obtained for the modifications, the companies make profits from them and also have the protection that for a number of years, no other company can use the patented changes.
