What else can I help you with?
What do you call genes that encode proteins that are always needed?
Genes that encode proteins that are always needed are called housekeeping genes. These genes are essential for basic cellular functions and are expressed in all cells and tissues to maintain normal cellular activities.
Do tumor viruses contain genes found in normal cells?
Yes, tumor viruses can contain genes found in normal cells. Some tumor viruses are able to integrate their genetic material into the host cell's genome, which can disrupt normal cellular functions and lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation.
Why aren't somatic mutations passed on to the next generation?
Somatic mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and are not passed on to offspring because they do not affect the germline cells (sperm and eggs) that give rise to the next generation. Only mutations in the germline cells can be inherited by offspring.
What involves replacing faulty genes with normal working genes in order to provide a cure for a genetic disorder?
Gene therapy involves replacing faulty genes with normal working genes to provide a cure for a genetic disorder. This can be done by inserting the normal gene into the patient's cells using a vector, such as a virus, to deliver the gene safely. Gene therapy holds promise for treating a wide range of genetic disorders.
Are there half as many genes in gametes as there are in normal cells?
Yes, there are half as many genes in gametes (sperm and egg cells) as there are in normal body cells. This is because gametes are produced through the process of meiosis, which results in the number of chromosomes being halved to ensure that when the egg and sperm combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct number of chromosomes.
What do you call genes that encode proteins that are always needed?
Genes that encode proteins that are always needed are called housekeeping genes. These genes are essential for basic cellular functions and are expressed in all cells and tissues to maintain normal cellular activities.
A class of master genes necessary for normal development in eukaryotes is called?
homeotic genes
What does it tell us if two genes show the same levels of expression in cancer cells and normal cells?
nice
Is it normal to sweat a lot?
Yes, it is normal. It also depends on the genes that is passed to you from your parents or relatives. Genes are traits that are passed on from parents to offspring as units of information is called "genes"
The two types of cell cycle genes if mutated cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably are called tumor suppressor genes and?
The two types of cell cycle genes that cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably if mutated are called tumor suppressor genes and antioncogene
Do tumor viruses contain genes that are found in normal cells?
not in all cases, however, but yes
Do eukaryotic cells have genes?
All cells have genes
Genes are arranged on twisted strands called what?
Genes are arranged on twisted strands called DNA. DNA is housed in the nucleus and controls the cells functions and systems.
How do genes affect cells?
Genes tell cells how to make proteins.
What is the function of the Ti plasmid?
The Ti plasmid is a circular DNA molecule found in Agrobacterium species. It serves as a vector for transferring genes into plant cells, leading to the formation of crown gall tumors. The transferred genes help the bacterium infect and genetically modify the plant cells to its advantage.
Do tumor viruses contain genes found in normal cells?
Yes, tumor viruses can contain genes found in normal cells. Some tumor viruses are able to integrate their genetic material into the host cell's genome, which can disrupt normal cellular functions and lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation.
Which genes are present in your liver cells?
All your genes are present in your liver cells
