What is the DNA code for normal hemoglobin?
The DNA code for normal hemoglobin is the gene that encodes for the production of the protein hemoglobin. The sequence of this gene includes instructions for building the alpha and beta globin chains that make up the hemoglobin protein. This gene is located on chromosome 11 in humans.
How many deoxyribonucleotides are in a gene?
This can't be answered simply. Are we talking about prokaryotic or eukaryotic genes? If eukaryotic, there are a whole bunch of non-coding sequences that make up said gene that do not make it into the final translated product, but are required for the gene to get out of the nucleus and be translated into protein. I think the smallest gene recorded so far apparently encodes a 7amino acid protein - so the coding sequence alone for that gene would be 24 aa's (3 per each amino acid + 3 for the start codon, ATG). In my own graduate research, I have worked with genes that are over 25kb, that is, 25000 nucleotides long. There are certainly genes that are much larger than that, as well.
The sequence of what encodes DNA information?
The sequence of nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine) encodes genetic information in DNA. Each sequence of these bases along the DNA strand forms a gene, which carries the instructions for making proteins and other cellular components. The specific order of these bases determines the genetic code that dictates the traits and functions of an organism.
What type of protein does TGBF1 have the instructions to make?
The gene (TGFB1) encodes for the protein Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/7040 [nih.gov ok]. It's a cytokine (a signalling protein) that has lots of different effects depending on which cells are exposed to it. In one case, researchers think that it may be doing something to the cells that maintain ear bones.
How are the 2 forms of a gene distributed to the offspring?
The two forms of a gene, one from each parent, are distributed to offspring during meiosis when sex cells are formed. Each parent contributes one allele of a gene to the offspring, determining the genetic make-up and traits of the offspring.
What is the DNA code for normal hemoglobin?
The DNA code for normal hemoglobin is the gene that encodes for the production of the protein hemoglobin. The sequence of this gene includes instructions for building the alpha and beta globin chains that make up the hemoglobin protein. This gene is located on chromosome 11 in humans.
What structures contain the genes for the traits?
Genes for traits are contained within the chromosomes, which are found in the cell's nucleus. Each gene is a segment of DNA that encodes a specific trait or characteristic. Genes are passed down from parents to offspring during reproduction.

What conclusions make up Mendel's law of segregation?
Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each one of their parents. Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes.

What two conclusion make up mendel law of segregation?
1st conclusion: Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. 2nd conclusion: Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes. Thus, the two copies of each gene segregate, or separate, during gamete formation. "hope this helped"

How is transcription related to gene expression and how do they influence each other?
Transcription is the process where genetic information in DNA is copied into RNA. This RNA is then used to make proteins, which are essential for gene expression. Gene expression refers to the process where the information in a gene is used to create a functional product, like a protein. Transcription is a key step in gene expression because it produces the RNA needed to make proteins. Therefore, transcription and gene expression are closely related and influence each other in the process of creating proteins from genetic information.
What are the parents if 75 of the offspring have a Dominant gene?
If 75 offspring have a Dominant gene, then the parents must have at least one Dominant gene each. This would make them either Dominant Homozygous (DD) or Heterozygous (Dd) for the Dominant trait.
Do both alleles of a gene pair make up an organisms genotype?
If by gene pair, you mean the two copies of each gene present in a diploid cell, then yes. Both alleles make up an organisms genotype, though they might not both be expressed in the phenotype, if one is recessive for instance.
What does each gene have instructions for?
Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.
How are the 2 forms of a gene distributed to the offspring?
The two forms of a gene, one from each parent, are distributed to offspring during meiosis when sex cells are formed. Each parent contributes one allele of a gene to the offspring, determining the genetic make-up and traits of the offspring.
