Do clocks lack genetic material?

.....yes, clocks aren't organisms. did you mean clones? clones do have genetic material, it's just the same as the organism they were cloned from.


What is the genome theory?

When you are drilling your wife or girlfriend, if you are female and you are riding your husband or boyfriend and then all of a sudden you let out an animalistic scream, yell or noise. Thats the genome theory because you have just gotten in touch with animal like instincts


What does CG stand in genomes?

It depends on if you're referring to CG as an acronym or just a general reference to the genome. C, or cytosine, and G, or guanine, are two of the four bases that are the building blocks of DNA. An individual's genome, or his or her complete DNA code, is a series of these four bases. The other two are adenine (A) and thymidine (T). Using "CG" in a different way, microarray technology is sometimes referred to as aCGH, which stands for "array comparative genomic hybridization". Microarray technology allows for the comparison of a test DNA sample against a partial control genome. This genome is represented by an array of probes, which are small pieces of DNA. How many probes one has in an array and which parts of the genome are represented customize the array to help a researcher/clinician interrogate the control sample for certain differences. They can be helpful in finding deleted or duplicated DNA material, for example.


What study provides evidence of evolution?

Paleontology, genetics, molecular Biology, taxonomy, evolutionary development and comparative anatomy, just to name a few.


Which cellular structure is unique to prokaryotic organisms?

Plastids, or small rings of DNA that can be exchanged between bacteria. Rather than containing an entire genome, they just contain certain genes-often useful ones for resistance to antibiotics, etc.

What is wrong with a clocks roman numerals?

On some clocks they use IIII instead of IV and VIIII instead of IX. They are not really wrong, just not the common way. See the link below for an excellent answer to the question.


Does all of the genome make protein?

No, in fact, only a small portion of the genome codes for protein synthesis. Most of the genome, as far as we can determine, does not synthesize protein but instead helps to determine when the genes that synthesize protein will be activated. That, apparently, is the more complicated problem. There are also sections of the genome that are essentially parasitic, and have no apparent function. They are just going along for the ride.


How does a gene differ from genome?

A gene is just the DNA that stores genetic information, a genome is all the genetic material in an organism.


What was produced as a result of the Human Genome Project?

Someone x rayed DNA and therefore shown that DNA had two strands instead of one and was a double helix. I just remember that one. Sorry


Do bar clocks have different time?

They may, just as the clocks at any other place.


Were scientists correct in their estimate of how many genes would be identified during the human genome project Why or why not?

No,the scientists were not correct in their estimate of how many genes would be identified during the human genome project because they had identified an estimated 30,000 genes (instead of the expected 100,000), constituting just 1% of the total human.


What came before the watch to tell the time?

urmm... i think it woz the grandfather clocks they had wall clocks before watches. so its probably just clocks


How can one order time clocks for a business?

You can order time clocks for a business just like you would order time clocks as an individual. You only have to enter the time clocks into your book keeping as an investment and make sure you get an invoice when you purchase it.


How do you change the lights behind the speedo on a 1999 vauxhall corsa?

you have to take off the cowl around the clocks, then the clocks just unclip from the dashboard (no wires or cables) and pop out the wasted bulb and replace with the new one. while your at it, why not put in coloured bulbs for the clocks, to pimp it a bit replacing is just as easy as taking the clocks out


Are Bulova wall clocks high end clocks?

Bulova wall clocks are not considered high end because their price is only just above a hundred dollars and this product is not created by a luxury brand or designer.
