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 is first located on a gene?
A promoter <--- Gradpoint/NovaNet A promoter is located at the beginning of a gene. A promoter functions by facilitating transcription of that gene
Where genes for a certain trait are located?
Genes for a certain trait are located on specific regions of chromosomes. Each gene occupies a particular locus on a chromosome, and variations in these genes can result in different expressions of the trait. The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is referred to as its genetic map position.
What does the normal gene responsible for hyperkalemic periodic paralysis responsible for?
The normal gene is responsible for a muscle protein controlling the flow of sodium during muscle contraction.
What do you call a different form or version of a gene?
The different forms of a gene are called alleles.
What is One difference between the gene that codes for insulin and the gene that codes for testosterone in humans?
The gene of insulin has a different sequence of molecular bases than the gene of testosterone.
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.
Different froms of the same gene are called and their precise locations are?
alleles are located in the chromosomes.
Where are alleles located?
Alleles are located on chromosomes, which are found in the nucleus of a cell. They can exist in pairs on homologous chromosomes, with one allele from each parent. Alleles are the different forms of a gene that can code for different traits or characteristics.
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 it called when a normal allele is placed in a virus?
When a normal allele is introduced into a virus, it is often referred to as gene therapy. This involves using the virus as a delivery system to transfer the normal allele into the cells of an individual with a genetic disorder, potentially correcting the underlying genetic defect.
What gene or chromosome is affected by noonan syndrome?
Noonan syndrome is primarily caused by mutations in the PTPN11 gene, located on chromosome 12. This gene provides instructions for making a protein involved in cell signaling and development. Changes in this gene can disrupt normal cell signaling pathways and lead to the characteristic features of Noonan syndrome.
Explain why a woman carrying a gene for hemophlia can produce hemophilic sons when she is mated with a normal male?
A woman carrying a gene for hemophilia is typically a carrier with one X chromosome carrying the hemophilia gene and one X chromosome carrying the normal gene. When she is mated with a normal male who has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, there is a 50% chance that the son will inherit the X chromosome carrying the hemophilia gene from the mother. Since males have only one X chromosome, if they inherit the hemophilia gene, they will express the disorder.
What gene is the schizophrenia disease located on?
There is no one gene for schizophrenia. However, there are many different genes that may contribute to schizophrenia. A gene on chromosome 1 in the 22 family is implicated in schizophrenia, as well as genes on chromosomes 11 and 6.
A gene that interrupts the normal functioning of life processes and results in death is a?
a lethal gene
What is the probability that a woman who is a carrier of the colorblind gene and a color blind man will have a first son who will be color blind?
The probability is 0 (but the daughter will be a carrier of the color blind gene). This is because the gene dictating whether someone is color blind or not is linked to the X chromosome (and not the Y). The color blind gene is a recessive gene whilst the normal color vision gene is a dominant gene. Hence if a girl (XX) has one normal vision gene (from one parent) and one color blind gene (from the other parent), her normal vision gene will be dominant to the recessive color blind gene and hence she will have normal vision (but she will be a carrier of the color blind gene). If both her parents contribute the recessive color blind gene to her, then she will be color blind. For a woman (XX) to be color blind, she needs to be have both genes to be recessive (ie where there is no dominant normal color vision gene to dominate). For a man (XY), as long as the X gene contributed by his mother is a color blind gene, he will be color blind because he has no other X chromosome where a dominant normal color gene could reside. Hence, to answer the question, a man with normal color vision (XY, with a dominant normal color vision X gene since the gene can't be the recessive color blind gene otherwise he will be colorblind) and a colorblind woman (XX, both recessive color blind genes), will each contribute an X each the child. The man will contribute his only X chromosome which carries the normal color vision X gene and the woman can only contribute a recessive color blind gene. The man's normal color vision X gene will be dominant, and hence the daughter will definitely have normal vision (despite being a carrier).
