The genetic disorder sickle-cell anemia is an example of?
Well, its a genetic disorder that is most common among African Americans. It is when red blood cells are C shaped. It's an example of a problem
It is an example of pleiotropy.
What is the similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic?
There is a theory. This theory states that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once a free living bacterias(prokaryote) long time ago. People thought this because mitochondria and chloroplasts are not like other organelles of the cell. They divide independently during cell division, they both have their own DNA, and even those DNAs (known as mtDNA) replicates.

Can you clone a Clone Trooper?
no there just cant jango fett was a guy and the clones are clones of him so they would be like him duh this was way back in the long long time ago era so no one cared about a fetus they just created clones but if there did happen to be a female clone they wouldn't use her because she would be structuarly imbalenced because she is supposed to be a guy. So there
Female Jango clone: (answer improvement / correction)
Sure there could be a female Jango clone. Male genome is XY. Female genome is XX. If you wanted to make a female clone of Jango Fett there are a couple of ways you could do it.
First of all - basic cloning 101 - You take a cell that has all it's organelles, remove the nucleus that has the DNA and replace it with the DNA of your clone. Than you incubate this cell into an organism. Dolly the sheep was incubated in the womb of another sheep. Wa-la, a clone. I don't know if they used stem cells, gamete cells, skin cells or some other bodily cell to create Dolly.
So if the Kaminoans wanted to create a female Jango clone; all they'd have to do is separate the X from the Y, double copy the X (so the clone was XX instead of XY), implant this DNA in a host cell and bam - you have a female Jango clone.
The other way they could do it is use gamete cells. Than they wouldn't have to segregate the DNA. It would be easier. Take a donor egg cell; replace the nucleus with the DNA from an X sperm cell and fertilize that egg with another X sperm. Wa-la - female Jango clone. The only difference would be the cell organelles would have the messenger RNA of the female donor. If a female relative of Jango Fett was used as a egg donor - there wouldn't be a problem since we all get our messenger RNA from our mothers anyways.
Now if there was some genetic defect in Jango's X chromosome; it would show up in the female clone too. But than again if there was a defect in the X, it would also be present in the male clones since they only have one X.
So there you go - yes - you could have a female Jango clone trooper.
You can make female clones out of male hosts; you just couldn't go the other way - saving an act of God that is!
Will clone trooper denal die in the clone wars?
I'm not sure yet, but iff you look at the Star wars the clone wars trailer for series two there's a quick snap of Cad Bane WEARING Denal's amour in a ship trying to get away. It's your opinion.
Really you need and wait and See for your self.
in cargo of doom you see sgt denal get on to the shuttle and he has a deeper voice so cad bane might be in in denals armor
Denal was mistaken for death and while the ship was blowing up he was shot in the right upper torso and fell he then ran and found an escape pod and landed on Courascant. Hope this helps. From what I know he lives.
Explain the evolutionary significance of a nearly universal genetic code?
It is considered universal because all organisms use the same codon for the same amino acid.
Cloning is an important part of advancing science. You have to ask yourself this question though...If you cloned yourself and had sexual relations with your clone, would you consider yourself gay?
It's possible. Your family members can influence you to become shy if they're the same way. I do believe there are traces of your parent's personality in you and it could include shyness.
Why have we developed gm crops?
To increase their resistance to disease and predation. To improve the yield. To allow crops to grow more quickly and in more adverse conditions. To reduce starvation in the world.
Bacterial DNA is used frequently in genetic engineering because?
it is found in the cytoplasm as a simple circle.
I got this from google. The first person was Jonathan Hutchin.
Genetic differences between populations tend to be reduced by?
Gene flow tends to reduce diffences between populations.
Can plant gene cloned to human gene?
Yes, but that does not mean that any viable creature might develop. There are very few limits to what genes can be inserted into what - quite a few creatures have gained fluorescing genes from jellyfish, including mice, and antifreeze genes from an arctic fish have been inserted into a soft fruit (raspberries I think).
Which molecules carry genetic information from one generation to the next?
They are DNA molecules. They are stored in chromosomes
Would a male with Down syndrome and a male without Down syndrome have a child with Down syndrome?
== == * I did some research and learned that men with Down syndrome are usually sterile. Most women can get pregnant and have children. Since there is a high risk of Down syndrome in the baby (35%-50%), many times the pregnancy would end in a miscarriage. But many Down syndrome people have had children.
* Technically yes, but it's unlikely. Fertility is greatly reduced in both males and females with Down syndrome, although there have been a few cases of males fathering children and females bearing them.
* Actually, there has only been 1 case of a male fathering a child. A women with Down syndrome can have children, but there is a 50% chance that the baby will be born with Down syndrome.

What causes genetic variation in a species?
genetic variation happens because of meiosis. chromosomes are randomly in each sperm/egg cell, and so when they come together it's unlikely to get the same combination twice
Some scientists reckon that in endangered species it is essential to clone in order to keep the species alive. However, cloning can cause difficulties, as if two of the same cloned animal mate, they can cause serious defaults in their young; such as missing legs! This however, does not make it essential and without further research it makes it unrealistic to clone any animals in case of incidents further down the line.
The genetic code is universal but what does this mean?
this means that the same genetic code that is used in humans is used in all other types of organisms as well. anything from animals to plants to bacteria uses the same system of triplet nucleotide bases (codons) to code for a single amino acid when building a polypeptide. remember that the genetic code is also degenerate- each codon only codes for one amino acid, but there can be several different codons that call for the same amino acid.
