Gene rearrangement actually means the rearrangement of gene in chromosomes. This can occur through 3 different ways which are inversion, translocation and transposition. These can definitely alter the chromosome and cause mutations to occur.

Can a single protein have multiple genes?

Yes. A protein produced by multiple genes are cased by fusion genes. Usually a protein is translated from a mRNA which is transcribed from a DNA. After transcription, RNA is rearranged by so-called RNA splicing in which some of short sequences are selected(Exon) or deleted(Intron). During the splicing two different genes can join together and it is called trans-splicing. After trans-splicing, mRNA is translated into a protein, so the protein has two genes. Most cases these fusion genes are oncogenes which cause Cancerous diseases.


Which phrase describes what happens to atoms in a chemical reaction a. sometimes lost never rearranged b. sometimes lost gained or rearranged c. never lost or gained just rearranged d. lost or gained?

The correct phrase is c. never lost or gained just rearranged. In a chemical reaction, atoms are not created or destroyed; they are simply rearranged to form new substances. This principle is based on the law of conservation of mass, which states that the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.


Are master genes and homeotic genes the same thing?

Master genes and homeotic genes are related but not the same. Homeotic genes are a specific type of master gene that regulate the development of anatomical structures in organisms, determining the identity of body parts. Master genes generally refer to genes that control the expression of other genes and play crucial roles in regulating developmental processes. Thus, while all homeotic genes are master genes, not all master genes are homeotic genes.


During what kind of processes are atoms and molecules rearranged?
