Which RNA is responsible for reading the genetic code and carrying amino acids accurately into protein synthesis?

tRNA is responsible for recognizing (reading) the genetic code (codons) on mRNA. If a tRNA recognizes a certain codon, the amino acid it carries then become attached to the polypeptide chain.

The two main types of flow of the genetic information are?

1.central dogma/unidirectional flow of information

DNA to rna to proteins

2.central dogma reverse

rna to DNA to rna to proteins e.g.in hiv

Where was genetic engineering discovered?

amoebas are one cell that lives in the dust and feeds on bunny's and lives in holes deep in side the ground and wait for a bunny to cross its path and then they attack sticking its venom full fangs in its body as it bumps it into him he dies a slow and painful death but he is just like the honey badger he just don't care

Where do plants store their genetic information?

Genetic information is contained in the chromosomes which are found in the nucleus of the plant cell

What is the name of the genetic syndrome when one develops a streak of silver hair spontaneously?

If you are referring to Poliosis (decrease or absence of melanin in hair of the head) there are a number of diseases associated with it, here are a few:

Waardenburg Syndrome - associated with deafness

Piebaldism - associated with abnormal skin pigmentation

Partial Albinism - associated with eye problems

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome - associated with eye problems

Which organelle store genetic information?

the nucleus is the place in a cell were the genetic imformation is stored

How can rocks be cloned?

No

Rocks, or any nonliving organism lack any genetic material/component (chromosomes, genes, DNA) required for replication or cloning.

Is compulsive lying a genetic disorder?

Though compulsive lying is not considered a genetic disorder, it is a psychiatric illness. Compulsive liars actually take pleasure in this agbnormal entity and it feels right to them. Telling the truth, on the other hand, is very difficult and uncomfortable. This disorder is addictive and very hard to stop. Also, t make this more complicated, there is usually an underlying personality disorder. Compulsive lying can only be dealt with through aggressive counseling and therapy. However, for therapy to be successful, the patient must be able to admit that they do have a problem.

What syndrome is genetic that includes facial features?

Practically every genetic disorder that includes physical characteristics affects facial features. The term is dysmorphic facial features genetic disorders.

What is the probability that a recessive trait will appear?

It depends on the genotype of the parents, but assuming there is an equal chance of being dominant homozygous, recessive homozygous or heterozgous and there are only two possible genes, there is a 1 in 4 chance that the recessive trait will appear.

Describe what genes are and explain what makes a disease genetic?

genes are what make up your DNA. each gene has two alleles, and whether those alleles are dominant or recessive determines what trait you get. Every trait has at least on gene coding for it, and some have more. a disease is genetic when there is a gene coding for it, as opposed to just a mutation or something environmental causing it.

What are the components of brass?

Brass is an ALLOY , a mixture of the metallic elements of copper and zinc.

They do NOT chemically combine.

A compound involves the exchange of electrons between the reacting atoms. A mixture(alloy) doe NOT involve this exchange of electrons.

The main goal of genetic engineering is to create oddities of science.?

No - the main goal of genetic engineering - is to eliminate weaknesses in the subject organism. Example 1 - Creating a strain of wheat that is resistant to disease

What genetic disease was in Queen Victoria's family?

There are two genetic diseases that were (and are) in Queen Victoria's family. The first one was porphryia which is an autoimmune disease, which was passed on through the Hanoverian line historians believe thanks to Margaret Tudor (the daughter of Henry VIII)

The other genetic disease that was in Queen Victoria's family was hemophilia which prevents blood from clotting.

It is known that Queen Victoria was a carrier of hemophilia and passed it on to three of her children and at least 6 of her grandchildren and many grandchildren, but it is impossible that she could have carried the gene for both Hemophilia and porphryia (the chance of it happening is the same as the population of the world when she was born.)

How does umbuku lizard genetically engineered?

The lizard has a flying gene (dormant) inside it's DNA, and once unlocked then the baby lizards grew their wings. Sorry I can't be much more specific than that, I'm trying to find a more detailed answer as well.
