What else can I help you with?
Why does it take only a few homeotic genes to control the development of a eukaryote?
Different genes are turned on or off in the different cell types as a result of specialization
What are regions of the chromosome with few functional genes called?
Regions of the chromosome with few functional genes are called gene deserts or gene-poor regions. These regions typically have a lower density of genes compared to other parts of the chromosome, and are often associated with non-coding DNA or regulatory elements.
What is the one sentence answer to the question what do genes control?
Genes control the synthesis of proteins.
How many genes are there on a single genome?
One gene can code for multiple proteins.
How can siblings have the same genes?
Very simple they have at least one parent that their from. Stepbrothers and stepsisters share genes from at least one parent.
What is the advantage of conjugants?
Bacterial conjugation? When two bacteria conjugate one, or both, receive a plasmid from the other containing a few genes. This adds to the bacterial genetic diversity but, more importantly, these few genes could confer resistance to pathogenic agencies that one bacteria has now given the other bacteria.
Which chromosomes carries the fewest numbers of genes?
The y chromosome, which only contains a few hundred genes.
How many genes for each feature does an individual possess?
An individual possesses two genes for each feature, one from each parent. These genes can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous), influencing the individual's traits and characteristics.
What are the alleles of a gene?
That depends on the gene: some genes have only a few alleles, some genes have hundreds or even thousands of alleles.
Does a cell have only a few genes?
No, a cell can have thousands of genes. Genes contain the instructions for making proteins that carry out various functions within a cell. The interactions of these genes determine the cell's characteristics and behaviors.
What are genes that are located on one sex chromosome but not the other called?
Genes that are located on one sex chromosome but not the other are called sex-linked genes.
How can chimpanzee have different traits from one another?
They have different genes just as humans do.
Why does it take only a few homeotic genes to control the development of a eukaryote?
Different genes are turned on or off in the different cell types as a result of specialization
Species rapidly evolving due to changes in a few genes?
Equilbrium bro
What is the rapid evolution that can come about by the mutation of just a few genes'?
Punctuated equilibrium
What are regions of the chromosome with few functional genes called?
Regions of the chromosome with few functional genes are called gene deserts or gene-poor regions. These regions typically have a lower density of genes compared to other parts of the chromosome, and are often associated with non-coding DNA or regulatory elements.
How many genes must interact to produce a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some are Mendelian traits where there is one dominant and one recessive allele. Some traits are governed by multiple alleles, like blood groups, and some traits are governed by polygenic inheritance where several sets of genes determine the trait, like height in humans.
