What is synthesized when a gene is expressed at the molecular level?
The expression of a Gene causes the synthesis of Its associated protein.
Which section of DNA that provides information for a protein is called a?
The section of DNA that provides information for a protein is called a gene. Genes contain the specific sequences of nucleotides that encode the amino acid sequences of proteins. When a gene is expressed, it undergoes transcription to produce messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then translated into a protein.
If a specific kind of protein is not continually used by a cell the gene for that protein is?
the gene is never expressed. ^^^^ this guy is a frickin idiot. and this would more of be in the cells/ biology section. What happens is a repressor binds to the operator and turns off the gene so the protein doesn't get made. and when its needed the repressor detaches and the gene is turned back on. ( this all happens on a strand of DNA )
Why do the introns have to br removed?
Introns are the non-coding parts of the gene. If you didn't remove introns, the wrong protein may be produced because they allow more than one protein to be produced from a single gene.
What is gene that is always expressed?
A gene that is always expressed is known as a "constitutive gene." These genes are continuously active and produce their respective proteins regardless of environmental conditions. They are essential for basic cellular functions and maintenance, such as genes encoding for structural proteins, enzymes involved in metabolism, and proteins necessary for cellular processes. An example of a constitutive gene is the gene for ribosomal RNA, which is crucial for protein synthesis in all living cells.
In a eukaryote what is a segment of a gene that codes for a protein?
A segment of a gene that codes for a protein is called an exon. Exons are the parts of a gene that are ultimately expressed as proteins after being transcribed and translated. They are interspersed with non-coding regions called introns.
What is synthesized when a gene is expressed at the molecular level?
The expression of a Gene causes the synthesis of Its associated protein.
What does it mean when we say that a gene is expressed?
When we say that a gene is expressed, it means that the information encoded in the gene is used by the cell to make a specific protein or functional RNA molecule. This process is known as gene expression.
An expressed gene is one that what?
a gene being expressed means it is shown, for example if you have the gene for brown eyes and the gene for blue eyes, only one can be expressed. if you have brown eyes that gene is expressed, if not the blue-eye gene is expressed.
What does recessive tell us about gene's expression?
Recessive doesn't really describe the expression of a gene. When a gene is "expressed" a protein is made. Recessive describes what form of the gene is expressed or in other words, which allele. A recessive protein may look different and function differently than a dominant protein. This is oversimplified though because there are many different interactions and mechanisms that determine protein function.
When a gene or genes which code for units which make up a protein said to be?
expressed
When a gene or genes which code for units which make up a protein are turned on by?
expressed
What is the specific expressed sequence of DNA that codes for a protein in this genetic sequence?
The specific expressed sequence of DNA that codes for a protein in this genetic sequence is called a gene.
If a specific kind of protein is not continually used by a cell the gene for that proteins is?
never expressed.
How can a mutation in a gene affect the trait that an organism has?
A mutation in a gene can alter the functioning of the protein it codes for, leading to changes in the trait expressed by the organism. This can result in new traits, loss of function, or altered function of the protein, impacting the organism's phenotype.
What is the obesity gene that is expressed in fat cells and codes for a hormone-like protein that researchers have identified known as?
The obesity gene expressed in fat cells and codes for a hormone-like protein identified as adiponectin. This protein plays a role in regulating glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown in the body, impacting metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Variations in the gene or levels of adiponectin have been linked to obesity and related metabolic disorders.
What does it mean for a gene to be turned off or not expressed?
When a gene is turned off or not expressed, it means that the DNA sequence within that gene is not being transcribed into mRNA and translated into protein. This can happen through a variety of mechanisms that regulate gene expression, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and transcription factor binding.
