DNA replication takes place when?

DNA replication takes place when preceding interphase.

Does carbohydrates contain the genetic code?

No, not at all. Carbohydrates consist out of many monosaccarids (Glucose, Galactose, Fructose) wich are ligated to dimers in seemingly endless repetition.

To function as genetic code, there needs to be more variation between the monosaccharids (DNA has four Nucleotides that are dispersed in a far more complex pattern along one strand).

Moreover would the Monosaccharids need some ligands that are able to form hydrogen bonds between them, so that the duplex can be melted for transcription and replication and afterwards reassociated.

Then you need to invent new polymerases and ribosomes, which are able to work with your code.

Why is the genetic code read three bases at a time?

Im doing a packet in my biology class an was wondering if any of you guys knew about this:) Thanks!

How many nucleotide bases in one human gene has?

You have A (adenine),C (cytosine) ,G(guanine) and either T(thymine) or U(uracil)

Can someone help me with biology home work?

The complementary overhangs of restriction enzymes form a 'scar' between the Promoter and Chromoprotein. This scar cannot be digested by any of the four restriction enzymes used to create BioBricks. This allows for iterative building of more complex BioBricks. Why can the scar not be cut, despite retaining the overhang sequence?

Select one:

a. Because the scar is not a palindrome.

b. Because the scar has a distorted double helix that cannot be recognized by the restriction enzyme.

c. Because restriction enzymes only cut at one sequence of DNA.

d. Because restriction enzymes recognize additional DNA sequence beyond the overhang region

A threadlike genetic material called chromatin is located within the?

In the inter-phase nucleus of the cell is located a threadlike genetic material called chromatin.

Can anything change genetics?

Humans have not yet discovered a way to change your DNA. We can make copies and swap things around, but those require a new generation to see any effect. It doesn't change what's already here.

What is the genetic cause of progeria?

It is caused by a mutation in the gene called LMNA. The LMNA gene produces the Lamin A protein which holds the nucleus of a cell together. Researchers now believe that the defective lamin A protein makes the nucleus unstable. That cellular instability causes premature aging.

Threadlike structure within the nucleus containing the genetic info that is passed from one generation of cells to another?

The nucleus of a cell contains threadlike structures that contain genetic material called chromosomes.

What is an example of cloning?

Dolly the sheep is a famous example - Scientists in Scotland cloned a ewe by inserting DNA from a single sheep cell into an egg and implanted it in a surrogate mother

What organelle contains genetic information?

The cell nucleus and the mitochondria contain genetic information in the form of DNA.

What does genetic engineering mean in biology?

Scientific alteration of the structure of genetic material in a living organism. It involves the production and use of recombinant DNA and has been employed to create bacteria that synthesize insulin and other human proteins.

How does genetic variation affect the type of traits of adaptations in the individuals of a species?

Variation in and of itself does not affect the traits seen in the overall population. This is because gene frequency and subsequent changes in phenotype generally occur only when the phenotype is "selected" for or against in a population. Granted increased genetic variation is the potential for change, however just as in physics potential has to be acted on for change to occur.
The population of a species represents it's entire gene pool. The Hardy-Weinburg Principle states that the frequency of a gene remains the same as long as it is neither selected for or against.
Smaller populations can change rapidly due to genetic drift and isolation (which is more of a twist of random probability than selection, like getting heads ten times in a row tossing a penny) selection translates into change in a larger population.

Where in protein synthesis does transcription occur?

In it's very earliest phase; that of the synthesis of messenger Rna.

What is Genetic stratigraphic sequence?

seismic stratigraphy defination This is the study of interpretation, description and identification of facies as well as depositional enveronment natural contniuity between vertical sequence by the use of sequence signatures.

What type of test is a ELISA?

an Enzyme Linked immunosorbent assay. during an infection an individual mounts an antibody response which eventually results in production of plasma IgG molecules that bind to various parts of the infectious agent. If these antibodies are present in the sample they will bind to the adsorbed antiagen and remain there after washing and will be detected by the ELISA technique.

How are genetically altered crops beneficial to society?

There are few to no negative effects of biotechnology on society. Apart from a few very early trials of true genetic engineering that were likely not even caused by the biotechnology, there have been practically no harm whatsoever from biotechnology on people.

What is the harmful effect of genetic engineering?

Well, the bad is that it's a fairly new area, and people aren't really certain about what might happen in the long run from what they do. Something that looks good to start with might end up doing a lot of damage.

Explain how DNA replication takes place?

An enzyme unzips a DNA stand and a separate strand without base pairs come sup and matches it with the proper ones (A-U)( C-G) making RNA which goes to a ribosome outside the nucleus, makes a protein, makes a new strand of DNA and the other strand re zips with the new DNA strand.

Can the principles of probability be used to predict exact outcomes of genetic crosses?

Probability can be used to predict possible genotypes in offspring by using a Punnett Square.
