What are segments of DNA that control specific traits?
Segments of DNA that control specific traits are called genes. Genes are sections of DNA that contain the instructions for making specific proteins, which are essential in determining an organism's traits or characteristics. The expression of genes is regulated by various factors and processes within cells.
Mendel postulated that individuals have elements in pairs that determine a single phenotype What are the paired elements?
The paired elements are what Mendel called "factors," which we now know as genes. Genes come in pairs, with one inherited from each parent, and determine traits, such as eye color or flower shape, in an individual. This pairing and inheritance of genes is the basis of Mendel's laws of inheritance.
Do genes provide the cell with a specific set of hormonal instructions or with a set of biochemical instructions?
Genes provide the cell with a set of biochemical instructions. They contain the blueprint for making proteins, which can include hormones. Hormones are specific types of proteins that are produced based on the instructions encoded in genes.
What is the name for simplest transposable elements?
The simplest transposable elements are called transposons or "jumping genes." They are short DNA sequences that can move around within a genome, sometimes causing mutations or altering gene expression.
Why hydrogen called hydrogen?
Water maker is the meaning of Hydrogen.It is a greek word.
What are the small pieces of DNA that recognize genes?
Nucleic acids are the prime constituents of Genes that obtain their distinct Forms from the SEQUENCE of these small pieces as found in Dna and Rna. Their bio-chemical abbreviations are: ATCG in Dna and AUCG in Rna.
What Mendel called factors are today called genes?
GENES
Theories that recognize the possibility of many factors interacting to lead to drug abuse are called?
All addictions are related and that is is NOT because of having an 'addictive personality' or family genes.
How many pieces of DNA are there in a human cells nucleus?
I don't completely understand what you mean by "pieces". Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. That means they have 46 "pieces". 23 come from each parent. DNA is concentrated into little rods called chromosomes. There are two "pieces" on each chromosome.
The actual gene makeup?
Genes are the smallest pieces of genetic information
Different forms of genes are called?
different form of genes are called allele
What are the genes carries on the x and y chromosomes called?
The genes carried on the X chromosome are called X-linked genes, while the genes carried on the Y chromosome are called Y-linked genes. These genes play a role in determining various traits and characteristics in individuals.
What is the units of heredity of a cell?
Genes are the units of hereditary material. Through genes, proteins are coded that will make up all of our characteristics. Genes are in a pair and are pieces of genetic material known as DNA. Humans have about 35,000 different genes that are organized into forms called chromosomes.
What is a short section of DNA called?
Genes
How do chromatin remodeling complexes recognize the genes they should act on?
Chromatin-remodeling complexes recognize specific transcription factors bound to regulatory sequences of DNA.
Some of the portions of the chromatin are permanently condensed so that their DNA is never expressed All of these portions stain very intensely and are given a common name of?
These condensed portions of chromatin are called heterochromatin. They are tightly packed regions of DNA that are typically transcriptionally inactive, meaning the genes within them are not actively expressed. Heterochromatin appears densely stained under a microscope due to its tight packing of DNA.
A quality that a person was born with is called .?
Nature, Natural Or traits and genes
