Genetic Engineering

Linkage disequilibrium is the non-random association of alleles at two or more loci. It is broken down by recombination. Linkage equilibrium = independence between allele frequencies at two different SNPs Linkage disequilibrium = Association between alleles at different SNPs (SNPs are Single Nucleotide Polymorphism - Pronounced snips)

Both viruses and bacteria contain genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA. Viruses can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, while bacteria typically have DNA as their genetic material.

Every food crop on earth has been "genetically engineer" at some point to make it edible or more profitable to sell using traditional method sucha as selective breeding. However if you mean modified using genes directly added by humans then the list is still extensive. Wheat, corn and tomatoes have all been directly modified by human activities, many other plants have as well. Some times the modified plants can not be sold as food for humans, however it has been know to reach shelves anyways.

The amount of variation in elevation refers to the difference in height between the highest point and lowest point in a particular geographic area. It is typically measured in meters or feet and is an important consideration in understanding the topography and landscape of a region.

To maintain viability of the daughter cells in cell replication, the cell prepares for mitosis during interphase by doubling the genetic information in Synthesis phase. After DNA is coiled into chromosomes in prophase, they line up at the equator of the cell in metaphase. Once chromosomes separate at the centromere, they drift to opposite ends of the cell, ensuring that each new daughter cell contains the exact same genetic information as the parent cell.

Cells carry genetic information in the form of DNA, which is composed of four different nucleotide bases: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. This DNA provides instructions for building and maintaining the organism, guiding processes such as growth, development, and reproduction. The sequence of these bases determines the genetic code that is responsible for an individual's unique characteristics.

A cloned Mustang is another word for a fake Mustang. Some people have slow, beat up, ghetto, nasty looking Camaros and want to own a Mustang but cant because Camaro owners don't have enough money to buy a Mustang. So they go buy a Mustang rolling chassis and slap the shell onto the rusted up frame and 6 banger engine of a poor mans Camaro and call it a Mustang. That is an example of a clone.

S. fimicola can lead to genetic variability within a population through sexual reproduction, which involves the exchange of genetic material between individuals during mating. This process can generate new combinations of alleles, leading to increased genetic diversity in the population. Additionally, mechanisms such as mutation and genetic recombination can further contribute to genetic variability in S. fimicola populations.

The principles that govern heredity were discovered by a monk named Gregor Mendel in the 1860's. One of these principles, now called Mendel's law of independent assortment, states that allele pairs separate independently during the formation of gametes. This means that traits are transmitted to offspring independently.

Novanet answer Different traits are passed on to the offspring seperately from one another.....Good Luck

*****Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that factors for different characteristics are distributed to reproductive cells independently.

It does NOT state that the alleles separate during the forming of gametes. That is the Law of Segregation.

Another answer:

Mendel's law of independent assortment says that chromosomes in a cell line up and then separate randomly. In other words, the orientation of the homologous chromosomes is accidental and not fixed. Mendel's law of independent assortment makes sense with the events of meiosis-it explains that meiosis produces multiple varieties of gene combinations. Because of this randomness, the distribution of genes for one trait does not affect the distribution of genes for any other traits on a different chromosome. ~N.C.

When doing reading on a spectrophotometer, the sample being studied is either a color change or a precipitated compound, depending on the wavelength that it is being read. If it is a precipitated compound and it has a very high concentration, then you run the risk of the light being used to measure the absorbance not going through. In which case you have total absorbance but it is inaccurate in helping you determine the concentration of your sample because you are unsure where the concentration limit is for that wavelength, and your sample could possibly be able to absorb more. In which case you still can't calculate the concentration of the sample.

Reverse transcription occurs when RNA is converted into DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase. This process is commonly observed in retroviruses like HIV, where the viral RNA is reverse transcribed into DNA upon infection of a host cell. The resulting DNA can then integrate into the host cell's genome and be used as a template for viral replication.

A polygene is a group of multiple genes that work together to influence a particular trait or characteristic in an organism. These genes may have additive effects, meaning the more present, the stronger the trait. Polygenes are often involved in complex traits like height or skin color.

The Bible has nothing to say about Genetic Engineering. After all, this would have been a totally foreign concept to the biblical authors. Having said that, the Bible is a highly complex collection of Books and it is always possible for a reader to 'find' whatever meaning he wishes to find in it. Just because the Bible has nothing to say about Genetic Engineering does not mean we can not, or should not, take a moral stand if that is what we believe. There are many issues of moral and ethical importance in the world today, about which good people of all faiths or no faith must take a stand. While the Bible obviously does not mention Genetic Engineering (GE) specifically, there are some general principles taught that Christians may be following in their approach to this issue. A Christian who was pro-genetic engineering may feel that the principles of dominion would apply. A Christian who was concerned about the use of GE technology would feel that the issue of stewardship over the earth and the unknown outcome on the whole delicate and intricate food chain would be a guiding principal here. Also, the motivation behind the technology may be seen to be greed and selfish gain at the expense of others, both of which are against the teachings of the Bible. In either case, Christians do have to study the issue and to decide for themselves how it fits in with these general principles. They have the freedom to decide accordingly to the best of their ability.

The study of evolution from a genetic point of view is known as evolutionary genetics. It focuses on how genetic variation within populations changes over time, leading to the evolution of new species. By studying genes and their interactions, evolutionary geneticists can uncover mechanisms driving evolution.

DNA is called genetic material because it carries the genetic information that determines the hereditary traits of an organism. It contains the instructions for the development, functioning, and reproduction of living organisms. DNA is passed from one generation to the next, making it the primary molecule responsible for inheritance.

Nucleic acids are carbon compounds that store and transmit genetic information. They include:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Ribonucleic acid (messenger,transfer) (RNA)
proteins (in the case of prions)

A new-born baby contains the same genetic information that it received

from the mother (in her egg or ovum) and from the father (in his sperm).

This means 50% of the baby's genes come from each parent. This is ALWAYS

the case, even if a child looks much more like one parent than the other.

Well, not exactly 50%; a new baby receives 50% of nucleic DNA from each parent, but they receive 100% of their ribosomal DNA from their mother, along with an average of 120 genetic mutations per birth.

Organic refers to something that is derived from living organisms or composed of organic compounds. It can also describe a natural process or system that is characteristic of living organisms.

Gregor Mendel is credited with pioneering the field of genetics through his work with pea plants in the 19th century. His experiments laid the foundation for our understanding of inheritance and genetic traits.

Some benefits of genetic engineering in agriculture are increased crop yields, reduced costs for food or drug production, reduced need for pesticides, enhanced nutrient composition and food quality, resistance to pests and disease, greater food security, and medical benefits to the world's growing population.

Some disadvantages of genetic engineering include potential unforeseen consequences on ecosystems and biodiversity, ethical concerns surrounding the manipulation of living organisms, and the risk of creating genetically modified organisms that could harm human health or the environment. Additionally, there may be issues related to intellectual property rights and the concentration of power and control within the agricultural and biotechnology industries.

DNA is genetic material, not a protein.

Proteins are made of amino acids and DNA is made of nucleotides, which in turn are made of adenine, guanine, timine and cytosine bases, deoxyriboses (monosaccharides made of 5 carbon atoms) and phosphates.

I believe it is a issue of the state of the soul. The refusal to be repentant to God and others they have harmed feeds the beast that grows in the N's mind and heart. They are empty and void of anything but love for self. Even the love they have for their children or mate is nothing more than a supply source. This is not a mental disorder, it is a soul disorder that can only be helped by the N repenting and allowing God to change them. Since the N must admit fault and set God above them , salvation is almost impossible unless God brings them to a place where he is all they have left. In order to help this person, you must set them free, pray for them and then move on with your life. Even if this person seems to have made a change, it may well be short lived because the temptation to exhault themself above you will be there every moment they live. It is a long , painful recovery and if you are reading this and have came to this site for help, you will not be the one that can help the person recover. It will open old wounds for both of you. Move on ..
