What else can I help you with?
Why do the introns have to br removed?
Introns are the non-coding parts of the gene. If you didn't remove introns, the wrong protein may be produced because they allow more than one protein to be produced from a single gene.
How can large quantities of protein be produced from a bacterial colony containing the gene of interest?
Large quantities of protein can be produced by expressing the gene of interest in a bacterial colony such as E. coli. This is typically achieved by cloning the gene into a plasmid, transforming the plasmid into the bacterial cells, and inducing protein expression. The bacterial colony can then be grown in a culture medium optimized for protein production to maximize yields.
What protein does the eye color gene encode?
The eye color gene encodes for a protein called OCA2 (P gene), which helps determine the amount of melanin produced in the iris. Melanin is responsible for the color of the eyes, with more melanin resulting in darker eye color.
The human gene for muscle protein is different from a monkey's muscle protein gene in 4 places and different from a chicken and muscle protein gene in 25 places. What does this evidence tell us?
That humans are more closely related to monkeys than to chickens.
Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin in great abundance?
It is the easiest way for this protein to be produced. The DNA encoding human insulin can be put under the control of a constituitively active promoter and transfected into bacteria, which then produce the protein with their cellular machinery.

What is the difference between the expression levels of gene t8 and gene t12?
The difference between the expression levels of gene t8 and gene t12 refers to the varying amounts of proteins produced by each gene. Gene t8 may produce more or less protein than gene t12, leading to differences in their functional roles within the cell.

Why must introns be removed while the exons remain in the mRNA?
Introns are non-translated sections of a gene, i.e. they are not made into protein. The gene is stored in the chromosomes as DNA. When the corresponding protein is needed, the DNA is copied (transcribed) by RNA polymerase making a complementary copy of the gene made of RNA. This is then processed to remove the introns (the non-coding parts of the gene). It was long thought these introns hasdno use. However, there is evidence that they have a role in the processing of the RNA. In addition, introns allow more than one protein to be produced from a single gene. The RNA with the introns removed is now the messenger RNA (mRNA) which is transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where it is read by the ribosome, which produces the coded protein. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intron
Can one gene encode more than one protein?
It can't. If you're wondering how two different codons can produce the same amino acid, then that is because two different tRNA molecules have different anticodons on one end, but the same amino acid on the other end. For example, Arginine can be produced by CGT, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, AGG. This means that there are six different kinds of tRNA molecules that all have Arginine at the end, but different anticodons.
What is the impact of a frameshift mutation, where one or more pairs of nucleotides are removed from a gene, on the resulting protein product?
A frameshift mutation, where nucleotides are removed from a gene, can change the reading frame of the gene. This alters the sequence of amino acids in the resulting protein, leading to a non-functional or abnormal protein. This can have serious consequences on the protein's structure and function, potentially causing genetic disorders or diseases.
If a specific kind of protein is not continually used by a cell the gene for that protein is?
the gene is never expressed. ^^^^ this guy is a frickin idiot. and this would more of be in the cells/ biology section. What happens is a repressor binds to the operator and turns off the gene so the protein doesn't get made. and when its needed the repressor detaches and the gene is turned back on. ( this all happens on a strand of DNA )
Alternative RNA splicing has revealed inaccuracies in the one gene - one polypeptide hypothesis. Why?
Alternative RNA splicing demonstrates that a single gene can produce multiple protein variants, contradicting the one gene - one polypeptide hypothesis. This process allows for different combinations of exons to be included or excluded in the final mRNA transcript, resulting in diverse polypeptides from a single gene. Consequently, this complexity reveals that gene expression is more nuanced than the simplistic notion of one gene corresponding to one protein. It highlights the sophistication of genetic regulation and the potential for increased functional diversity in proteins.
Traits that are produced by the interaction of more than one gene are said to be?
polygenic inheritance
