a- Amino acid sequence of the protein.

If there is NO intervening sequence and you know the promoter identity to establish the start site for protein synthesis--the gene sequence WILL give you this.

If there ARE intervening sequences and you KNOW the mechanism/sequence signals for intron removal, then the gene sequence will give you this.

HOWEVER, if you lack the knowledge that about intervening sequences (presence of, splicing sites, then you need more data than the gene sequence alone.

b- Effects of mutation on gene function.

This has the greatest possibility of being the correct answer BUT if you know anything about the structure/function of the protein then obtaining the gene sequence could tell you a lot about the protein.

c- Relationship between two species.

In general you can tell a lot about the relatedness of species by comparing specific genes across the evolutionary tree. However, that's not true if you only have the sequences for only two species and no others.

This answer also can go both ways. The questions here are

1. Is the gene very highly conserved throughout evolution or not? If it is very highly conserved then it may not have enough sequence variation to be useful. If it is not highly conserved, there may be too much variation to prove useful.

2. Are you allowed to use noncoding sequences? This depends on what the working definition of "gene" is for this question. In general, noncoding sequences have fewer functional constrains on them and sequence variations are collected in these regions.

d- Cellular location of the protein.

If you are allowed to tap into the extensive knowledge in biochemistry/molecular biology about leader and other sequences in proteins that specify targeting to a cellular location then the gene sequence allows you to predict the cellular location of proteins.

What part of a human hair can be analyzed for DNA?

The root of a human hair contains cells with DNA that can be analyzed to determine genetic information. The shaft of the hair does not contain genetic material and cannot be used for DNA analysis.


If Dna cannot leave the Cell how can It get Its information out to the rest of the Cells?

DNA in the nucleus of a cell is responsible for producing messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic information to the cytoplasm, where it can be used for protein synthesis. These mRNA molecules act as messengers between the nucleus and the rest of the cell, ensuring that the genetic information encoded in DNA can be translated into functional proteins throughout the cell.


Body cell mutations cannot be passed on to offspring. This is because body cells do not contribute genetic material to?

reproductive cells. Only mutations in germ cells, which are responsible for passing genetic information to offspring, can be inherited.


What does a punnet square predict?

Punnett squares can be used to predict the genotype (genetic makeup)- and thus the phenotype (observable/testable trait)- of offspring, given the genetic makeup of the parents. For example, if a woman who has heterozygous A blood (AO) has children with a man who has blood type O (OO), a Punnett square will allow you to predict that half of the children will have blood type O and the other children will have blood type A. However, this only works for traits that are strictly dominant/recessive and determined by one pair of genes, like Mendel's pea color or human ABO blood types. Traits such as hair/eye color, sensitivity to taste, and many others are polygenic (determined by many genes) and cannot be easily determined from the parents.

What is the punnett square for synesthesia?

Since synesthesia is not a genetic trait passed down through traditional inheritance patterns, a Punnett square cannot be used to predict the likelihood of a child having synesthesia based on their parents' traits. Synesthesia is believed to have both genetic and environmental factors contributing to its development.


What information can be obtained from examining a karyotype?

A karyotype provides information about the number, size, and shape of an individual's chromosomes. It can reveal abnormalities such as missing or extra chromosomes, translocations, deletions, and other genetic disorders. Karyotyping is commonly used in genetic testing and to diagnose chromosomal abnormalities.


What information can not be obtained from an individual's karyotype?

A karyotype can show the number, size, and shape of an individual's chromosomes, but it cannot provide information about specific genetic mutations or variations within those chromosomes. It also does not give insight into an individual's physical characteristics or overall health status.
