What cell organelle is the warehouse for the cells genetic information?
The Nucleus for the cell's genetic information.
Is it acceptable to clone genes?
As with any ethical issue there are (at least) two sides to every debate, but in this case the terminology might confound the issue.
Cloning a gene simply means to make a copy of it and put it somewhere else. It could end up in the same organism (to over-express), or a different one (to heterologously express).
So far cloning genes into human embryos is universally unacceptable, but cloning genes into plants and microbes is common in research settings. There are also some animals that are genetically modified, which is wrong for some people, who object to experimenting on animals to begin with.
How do genetic and environmental factors work together to promote a child's temperament?
pretty much most of the genetic stuff could includ add and other genetic disabiliteis like that. But most of the things that cause tempermant issues are seeing how the parents behave and following example of kids and adults around them that they look up to.
How does a microprocessor transmit information?
transmit is a type of light ray. what type i dont know
Why does DNA feel like it does?
For your question, I have a question. How can you feel DNA, its microscopic?! You can barely see it sometimes with a microscope!!! So how can you feel it?!?!?!
It is where you change the genes to create a dream model
What is DNA lipase used for in genetic engineering?
The DNA lipases are the paste enzyme which helps to join the broken DNA fragments in genetic engineering
Do steriods store and process genetic information?
No. Steroids are a class of organic molecules and are relatively small. They do not in any way store genetic material.
What are the repeating units in DNA called?
Hydrogen Bonds
Adenine, Thymines, Guaines, and Cytosines.
ISO9002
Why does genetic information have to be copied in the nucleus?
The nucleus is an important cell part, so if it separates ,it needs to copy information or else the nucleus will become useless.
What three main types of organic compounds are used in society?
The 3 main types of organic compounds used in society are alkanes, alkenes and alkynes
What is the differernce between family genetics and population genetics?
Population genetics deals with the genetics of large groups of individuals and the statistics/probability/inheritance patterns in those groups. On the whole
this field of study does not manipulate genetic material and is not directly involved in breeding studies.
One of the primary tenents of population genetics is that an allele will remain in
a population at the same frequency as long as it is neither selected for or against. (The Hardy-Wienburg Principle).
What is the working principal behind RT PCR?
Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), is a variant of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) commonly used in molecular biology to detect RNA expression. RT-PCR is used to qualitatively detect gene expression through creation of complementary DNA (cDNA) transcripts from RNA.
Even though both techniques, RT-PCR and PCR, produce multiple copies of a particular DNA through amplification, the applications of the two techniques are fundamentally different. The most common PCR technique is used to exponentially amplify target DNA sequences. Meanwhile, RT-PCR is used to clone expressed genes by reverse transcribing the RNA of interest into its DNA complement through the use of reverse transcriptase enzymes. Subsequently, the newly synthesized cDNA by RT-PCR is amplified using traditional PCR technique.
Usually, RT-PCR is often confused with real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) by students and researchers alike, but they are quite separate and distinct techniques.
No it's not a genetic trait. If your father or an uncle always whistles (my father use to do this and I loved the sound of it) then it's a habit you can pick up, but it's one of the better habits.
What chromosomes are affected in sticklers syndrome?
Mutations in the COL11A1, COL11A2 and COL2A1 genes Found on wikipedia chromosome 1
The obvious disadvantage of having hemophilia is that you can die from fairly simple bleeding. The advantage might result when a hemophiliac develops an atrial fibrillation accompanied by tachycardia (heart fluttering with a very fast pulse) which can result in injury and death as the heart whips the blood into clots.
How does genetic engineering rely on a shared genetic code?
for the genetic engenerring to take place it needs genetic code like for a car to drive you need to put gas in it. its simple
How does genetics help in the study of evolution?
Genetics allows us to chemically study the evolutionary history of organisms in a way that cannot be disputed. You cannot argue against basic chemical signiture homologies.
