What is the gene that codes for a particular trait is known as what?
An allele is a gene for a specific trait. Cells contain two alleles for every gene, with one allele provided by each parent of an organism.
What is the difference between haploid and haploid?
Diploid organisms contain the genetic material in two copies for a gene. Haploid organisms contain only single copy of every gene.
Can single gene on a chromosome contain only one pair of nitrogen bases?
No because a single gene is made up of many bases in a row in a chromosome that may contain anywhere from several hundred to a million or more nitrogen bases.
Why is the bacterium now able to make insulin?
The bacterium has been genetically modified to contain the human insulin gene. This gene allows the bacterium to produce insulin when it is transformed with the gene and given the appropriate conditions for protein synthesis.
What type of gene is used to distinguish bacteria that carry a plasmid containing foreign DNA from those that don' t?
The plasmid that contains foreign DNA is engineered to also carry an antibiotic resistance gene. This antibiotic resistance gene codes for a protein that is able to inactivate an antibiotic thus keeping the cell alive. In the absence of the antibiotic resistance gene, the cells would not survive when exposed to an antibiotic. After transfection (the process of inserting the plasmid carrying the foreign gene into cells), the cells are gown in media containing an antibiotic. Cells that contain the plasmid (and therefore contain the antibiotic resistance gene) are able to survive in this medium. Cells that do not contain the plasmid (and therefore lack the antibiotic resistance gene) do not survive in this medium. The process described above is called selection
What words contain the root word gene?

What is gene where are genes located and what is the nature of gene?
Gene contain hereditary information that is transferred from parents to offspring. They are located in the nucleus of a cell.
What is the gene that codes for a particular trait is known as what?
An allele is a gene for a specific trait. Cells contain two alleles for every gene, with one allele provided by each parent of an organism.
What is the difference between diploid a and haploids?
Diploid organisms contain the genetic material in two copies for a gene. Haploid organisms contain only single copy of every gene.
What is the difference between haploid and haploid?
Diploid organisms contain the genetic material in two copies for a gene. Haploid organisms contain only single copy of every gene.
Why do only half of a carrier's gametes contain faulty cf gene?
only half of the carrier's gametes contain the cystic fibrosis gene because they only inherit one gene from either the mother or father, not both. For someone to have cystic fibrosis they must have inherited a faulty gene from each parent.
What do gene pools contain?
A gene pool is the set of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species.
Which cells in the human body contain the human gene?
All cells in the human body, except for red blood cells, contain the human gene. Each cell contains a complete set of human genes that encode the genetic information necessary for the cell's function and development.
What is the relationship between a gene and an operon?
A gene is a specific sequence of DNA that contains instructions for making a protein. An operon is a group of genes that are controlled and regulated together. In some cases, an operon can contain multiple genes, including the gene that codes for a specific protein. This means that a gene can be part of an operon, but not all genes are part of operons. The relationship between a gene and an operon is that a gene can be part of an operon, but an operon can contain multiple genes that work together to carry out a specific function.
What are some words that contain the root word 'gen'?
"generation, geneticist, gene, genealogy, genetics" all contain the root word gen.
Can single gene on a chromosome contain only one pair of nitrogen bases?
No because a single gene is made up of many bases in a row in a chromosome that may contain anywhere from several hundred to a million or more nitrogen bases.
Is a cell smaller or bigger than a gene?
A cell is larger than a gene. Genes are segments of DNA that contain information for making proteins, while cells are the basic building blocks of living organisms that contain many genes within their nucleus.
