A segment of DNA is called a gene. All an organism's biological traits are the result of gene coding. Though it was once thought that one gene codes for one trait, it is now understood that a gene may code for more than one trait, and genes may work with other genes to produce a trait. It is also known that genes may be turned on or off, but much more study is needed to understand genes completely. Much of the knowledge we have about genes today is the result of the Human Genome Project.
What else can I help you with?
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a?
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a gene, or an exon.
The difference between deletion duplication inversion and translocation?
Deletions are a loss of all or part of a chromosome. Duplications produce extra copies of parts of a chromosome. Inversions reverse the direction of parts of a chromosome. Translocations occur when part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another.
At the beginning of cell division DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called an?
At the beginning of cell division, DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called a chromosome. Chromosomes are visible under a microscope and contain the genetic material (DNA) of an organism.
A mutation caused by a piece of DNA breaking away from its chromosome and becoming attached to a nonhomologous chromosome is called?
This type of mutation is called a translocation mutation. It involves the movement of a segment of DNA from one chromosome to another non-homologous chromosome, leading to potential genetic changes and abnormalities.
When DNA is coiled and folded and twisted into short condensed strands?
This is called chromatin. Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins that forms chromosomes. The coiling and folding of DNA into chromatin helps condense the genetic material to fit within the nucleus of a cell.
What is a segment with information to make a protein?
A segment of DNA on a chromosome that controls the production of a protein is called a gene. Chromosome a cellular structure that contains DNA.
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a?
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a gene, or an exon.
What is the shorter segment of a chromosome?
Just a DNA strand
A segment of DNA found on a chromosome that codes for a protein?
a gene
A segment of chromosome responsible for a particular characteristic?
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
What does a chromosome contain?
A chromosome is a part of DNA that consists of a long arm and a short arm connected at the center called the Centromere.
What is a short thick coil of DNA?
A short, thick coil of DNA is called a nucleosome. Nucleosomes are composed of DNA wrapped around histone proteins, forming a compact structure that helps regulate gene expression and protect the DNA molecule.
What is the small DNA segment in bacterium called?
The small DNA segment found in bacteria is called a plasmid. Plasmids are circular extrachromosomal DNA molecules that can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often carry genes that provide bacteria with advantages such as antibiotic resistance.
The difference between deletion duplication inversion and translocation?
Deletions are a loss of all or part of a chromosome. Duplications produce extra copies of parts of a chromosome. Inversions reverse the direction of parts of a chromosome. Translocations occur when part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another.
What is a sat chromosome?
A sat chromosome, short for satellite chromosome, is a chromosome with a secondary constriction that contains highly repetitive DNA sequences called satellite DNA. These regions appear as small, secondary appendages on the chromosome and play a role in chromosome structure and organization.
At the beginning of cell division DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called an?
At the beginning of cell division, DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called a chromosome. Chromosomes are visible under a microscope and contain the genetic material (DNA) of an organism.
Is a gene all of an organisms DNA or only a segment of DNA?
A gene is a portion on a chromosome. It is not the entire DNA which codes for all you see in an individual.
