What did the successful transfer of the luciferase gene from an animal to a plant indicate about the functioning of gene?
The successful transfer of the luciferase gene from an animal to a plant indicates that the basic mechanisms for gene expression are shared by plants and animals.
What happens to the repressor protein when it's not functioning?
When the repressor protein in not functioning then the gene that that protein was blocking will be "turned on". BTW its not right to cheat, even on study guides ;)
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 is involved in regulating gene expression in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes?
The regulation of gene expression allows prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, to better respond to stimuli and to conserve energy and materials
What is gene therapy?
Gene therapy is a method of treatment. It is specifically used to treat patients who are suffering from diseases due to defective genes. Essentially, the treatment involves researchers replacing the defective or faulty genes with a normal functioning gene. It involves: 1) Detection of gene 2)Determination & its role 3)Isolation & cloning 4)Introducing the gene by proper way. This is either germline gene therapy (done in germ cells) or somatic gene therapy (done in somatic cells).
A gene that interrupts the normal functioning of life processes and results in death is a?
a lethal gene
What functional groups is capable of regulating gene expression?
Transcription factors can regulate gene expression
What does the binding of regulatory proteins to DNA do?
Regulate gene transcription.
Why must your body regulate body temperature?
to keep your organs functioning properly
Benefits of medical treatments that control gene expression?
I would guess that if a gene is not functioning normally then controlling the expression of that gene would be beneficial.
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 did the successful transfer of the luciferase gene from an animal to a plant indicate about the functioning of gene?
The successful transfer of the luciferase gene from an animal to a plant indicates that the basic mechanisms for gene expression are shared by plants and animals.
What are represor proteins?
Repressor is protein that can regulate gene expression. When it binds to the operator, the gene expression tuned off and when it detaches from the DNA the gene expresses as normal. This phenomeno of gene regulation is known as operons.
What happens to the repressor protein when it's not functioning?
When the repressor protein in not functioning then the gene that that protein was blocking will be "turned on". BTW its not right to cheat, even on study guides ;)
What are the two diagrams to explain the role carbon plays in helping the earth's atmosphere regulate temperature?
out of balance and functioning is the answer.
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 is the cause of neorofibromatosis?
The cause of neurofibromatosis type 1 is a genetic mutation in the NF1 gene. This gene is the one that produces a protein that helps regulate the growth of nerve tissue.
