What else can I help you with?
When a gene or genes which code for units which make up a protein are turned on by the Cell they are said to be?
Activated.
A stem cell differentiates by making what?
A stem cell differentiates by activating specific genes that direct its development into specialized cell types. This process involves epigenetic changes that determine which genes are turned on or off, leading to the formation of different cell types with specific functions.
What are genes used for?
Genes are used to produce a certain protein or protein components for the cell and as a means to transport this information to the next generation.
What is the functions of genes?
Genes control protein synthesis, control cell functions, and determine heredity.
What is the units of heredity of a cell?
Genes are the units of hereditary material. Through genes, proteins are coded that will make up all of our characteristics. Genes are in a pair and are pieces of genetic material known as DNA. Humans have about 35,000 different genes that are organized into forms called chromosomes.
Difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes are structures that contain genes, which are the functional units of heredity. Genes are specific segments of DNA that encode information for producing proteins, while chromosomes are made up of DNA and protein and contain many genes. Chromosomes are organized in pairs in a cell's nucleus, while genes are the specific units on chromosomes responsible for inherited traits.
What are the two possible types of products made in the cell by genes?
RNA or Protein
What is the control center of a unicellular organsism?
A unicellular organism is an animal with just one cell, inside the nucleus, there are chromosomes which contain genes, at first all of the genes are turned on (Have a positive charge) ... Depending on which genes are turned off (Had an electron added to them) after the cell was created, this determines the actions of the cell throughout its life... When the genes have been switched off it is then the nucleus which drives the cell to act correctly according to the genetic instructions given by the genes.
Where is the units of heredity found?
Units of heredity, known as genes, are found on chromosomes in the cell nucleus. Genes are composed of DNA and contain instructions for building and maintaining an organism's cells and functions. Each gene carries specific traits that are passed down from parents to offspring through the process of inheritance.
Which organelle has most of the genes that controls the cell?
DNA is found in the nucleus. Genes are sections of DNA that code for a functional product, such as protein. Therefore the nucleus is the site where the functions of the cell are controlled.
When th lac repress or protein binds to the what the lac operon is turned off?
The lac repressor protein binds to the operator region of the lac operon, effectively blocking RNA polymerase from transcribing the downstream genes necessary for lactose metabolism. When the repressor is bound, the operon is turned off, preventing the expression of genes that would allow the cell to utilize lactose as an energy source. This regulation is crucial for conserving resources when lactose is not present in the environment.
Why does it take only a few homeotic genes to control the development of a eukaryote?
Different genes are turned on or off in the different cell types as a result of specialization
