How do you relate the human genome to blueprints for a house?

Just like a blueprint for a house provides all the necessary information for building a house, the human genome contains all the instructions for building and maintaining a human body. The human genome is like a set of instructions that specify the characteristics and functions of each individual, just like a blueprint specifies the design and features of a house.


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


Do clocks lack genetic material?

Yes, clocks do not possess genetic material as they are man-made devices designed to measure time using mechanical or electronic components. Genetic material, such as DNA, is found in living organisms and is responsible for passing on hereditary traits from one generation to the next.


Why is the human genome like a parts list?

The human genome is a collection of long strands of molecule called DNA. DNA is a long polymer, where different individual monomers (single units) are called base-pairs. Certains segments of these strands (a few hundred to a few thousand base pairs) are called "genes". A molecule called RNA polymerase localizes to the front of the gene, moves along the base pairs, "reads" the specific base-pair sequence, and creates a copy of the particular base pairs it reads (this process is called transcription). The copy the RNA polymerase is an example of one "part". The part is usually modified to become something biologically useful (for example, it might go through another process called "translation" to become a protein). The "Genome" refers to all of the genetic material (so all of the DNA, so all of the genes) in an organism. Any genome (including the human genome) is a parts list because all biologically meaningful "parts" to the organism are encoded by a specific sequence of base pairs. So.... the human genome is really a list of the specific instructions to make all of the parts. James Watson, who along with Francis Crick was credited with the discovery of the DNA double helix and proposal of the "fundamental dogma of molecular biology", said "DNA makes RNA, RNA makes proteins, and proteins make us."


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 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.


Do bar clocks have different time?

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


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


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.


Is there more daylight in some months?

no there is not it is just the way we set our clocks


How does a gene differ from genome?

A gene is a specific sequence of DNA that contains the instructions to make a functional product like a protein, while a genome is the complete set of an organism's genetic material, including all its genes. Think of a gene as a single instruction in a recipe book, and the genome as the entire recipe book.
