Explanation:
Proteins are constructed from MRNA, so why is it said that information specifying traits of organisms is encoded in DNA?
Answer:
Because the mRNA are produced from DNA.
Explanation:
DNA, which encodes the genetic information needed for the survival and growth of living organisms, is said to be the BLUEPRINT OF LIFE. This is because DNA stores the information for specifying the traits of an organism. Although, according to this question, it is very TRUE that protein molecules are constructed from mRNA, but the mRNA are synthesized from DNA.
The gene, which is found in the DNA molecule, undergoes expression in two ways namely: transcription to mRNA, and translation to amino acid or protein. This protein is responsible for the traits exhibited by organisms. However, the whole process begins with DNA.
DNA sometimes has chemical groups attached, called methyl groups, that affect gene expression. Suppose that, during each hour, first a fraction m of unmethylated locations on the DNA become methylated, and then a fraction u of methylated locations become unmethylated. Find a recursion for the fraction f of the DNA molecule that is methylated.
Answer:
f = m - u
Explanation:
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification associated with the regulation of gene expression. As such, the analysis of DNA methylation marks and the dynamics of this process may shed light on the genes that are being expressed at a given time in a given cell type/tissue. In the example above described, f is defined as the fraction of the DNA molecule that is methylated after one (1) hour, whose value can be estimated by subtracting u fraction (i.e., fraction of methylated locations that become unmethylated) from m fraction (i.e., fraction of unmethylated locations that become methylated).
In consequence, the equation is
f = m - u
What role do chromosomes play in genetic variation?
Answer:
Each egg and orgasm contains a different combination of genes. This is because when egg and orgasm cells form, the chromosomes join together and randomly exchange genes between each other before the cell divides.

Consider a species of sparrow that originally lived only in Alaska but recently expanded its range through North America, then Central America, and finally South America. How would you expect heterozygosity for most loci to differ among populations in North America, Central America, and South America
Answer:
North America is the one with the highest heterozygosity frequency for most loci, followed by Central America, and finally, South America with the lowest heterozygosity level.
Explanation:
Some different forces or mechanisms might alter H-W equilibrium and lead to evolution, such as mutation, natural selection, migration, and genetic drift.
In the exposed example, we have a species of sparrow that migrates from Alaska to North America. Migration is unidirectional, which means that the movement occurs in only one direction: from Alaska to North America. We should also consider that the first immigrants colonized the area for the first time, meaning that there was not a receiving population of the same species already established. Finally, we need to consider that Alaska´s environmental conditions are very different from North America´s environmental conditions.
When a species arrives at a new place, it needs to adapt. The establishment and dispersion of the species in the new area depend on previous adaptation. So, when the firsts sparrow individuals arrived in North America, they faced new environmental conditions that acted as selective pressures that drove to the occurrence of mutations. A mutation implicates a stable and inheritable change in the genetic material. A mutation introduces changes, new alleles in the population, variability. But mutation rates are very low and have no evolutive direction, so they need another force to increase or decrease the mutant allelic frequencies. Natural selection benefits new advantageous alleles and transmits them to new generations changing their relative frequencies. So, sparrows arrive in North America, mutated, and natural selection favored the beneficial mutations leading to a better adaptation to the environment. This means that the heterozygosity level in this new recent population is very high.
As animals adapt to the new habitat and have better dispersal genes, they get to disperse even more. So they start new migration south, to Central America and South America. Again, they are moving to new regions with new conditions, and to establish they need to suffer new adaptations. But remember that we are talking about a recent event in time. Probably the animals migrating south are just a few. They have not spent enough time yet in the new area, to adapt to the new environment and to include new genes into their population. What is even more, as they are a small new population moving south, they are more vulnerable to genetic drift events. Genetic drift acts on a population decreasing the variability between individuals, hence, decreasing the heterozygosity. This small population suffers low mutation, has not enough time to establish, and is more vulnerable to genetic drift events. The heterozygosity level is probably inferior to North America´s one.
Comparing the three areas, we could say that North America is the one with the highest heterozygosity frequency, followed by Central America, and finally, South America with the lowest level of heterozygosity.

How does conduction differ from convection?
In conduction, particles remain approximately in place; in convection, fluid particles move from one location to another.
Conduction transfers thermal energy in solids; convection transfers thermal energy in liquids.
Conduction transfers energy by direct contact of particles; convection transfers energy in the form of waves.
Conduction transfers energy by movement of matter; convection transfers energy by direct contact of particles.
Answer:
Explanation:
I think the first one is correct.
The second one is half right (conduction works mostly in solids). The second part is not correct. Convection works mostly in gases.
The third one is wrong about waves. Conduction usually has direct contact of particles.
The last one is not correct. There is no visible movement of matter in conduction. The definition for convection is also incorrect.

How does the lac operon help E. coli conserve energy and other resources?
Answer:
A lac operon is a group of three genes that are always transcribed together which code proteins needed for the metabolism of lactose. ... This way of transcription control preserves the energy of E. coli, so proteins that these bacteria need in presence of lactose aren't synthesized when this molecule is absent.

What
happens once a neurotransmitter is received by a post synaptic neuron receptors
Answer:
Neurotransmitter binding increases membrane permeability and form a new action potential.
Explanation:
Neurotransmitters are specific lipid-based compounds that are used in the nervous system in chemical signal transduction. They exhibit receptor-specific functions in triggering many regions and physiological responses of the brain and spinal cord or the central nervous system (CNS).
When released into the space between the synapses called the synaptic cleft, they trigger a range of responses. On the postsynaptic cells they briefly bind to chemical receptors. This results in changes to the membrane which increases the cells' permeability to ions like Na+; a new action potential is created.
Identify which layer of the integumentary system each of the following is most likely to be found and provide a one phrase description of each (3pts): Phagocytic cells Keratinocytes Arrector pili Papillae responsible for fingerprints Melanocytes Paccinian corpuscles
Answer:
The integumentary system comprises the skin, nails, hair and exocrine glands. The average persons skin weighs a approximately 9Kilograms and spans about 20 square feet.
Phagocytic cells: These are found in the dermis or hypodermis. The skin layer that lies directly beneath the epidermis and above the subcutaneous layer is the dermis. It is made up of fibrous and flexible tissue and is the thickest layer of the skin. It thus gives the skin power and flexibility.
Phagocytic cells are cells within the skin that are designed for detecting, engulfing, and destroying pathogens (such as bacteria and other harmful organisms) and apoptotic cells. Apoptotic cells are cells in the human body that have spent their lifespan and are ready for replacement.
Keratinocytes: This is the most common type of cell in the human skin. It is mostly found on the Epidermis and comprises about 95% of the same.
The Epidermis is the most visible part of the skin. It is the part of the skin which the eyes can see. Its function is mostly protective. It receives all nutrition from the dermis because it does not contain any blood vessels.
Arrector Pili Muscle: Beneath the skin, there are tiny muscles that are attached to the base of a hair follicle at one end and to dermal tissue on the other end. These are known as the Arrector Pili.
Papillae: The dermal papillae comprise a little amount of the dermis. They project out of the epidermis. They aren't always immediately visible on the surface of the skin but tend to be quite obvious when examined under a microscope.
Melanocytes: These are neural crest-derived melanin-producing cells. They are mostly found in the lower layer of the skin's epidermis (also known as the stratum basale), the middle layer of the eye (uvea), the inner ear, the vaginal epithelium, the meninges, the bones, and the core. A black pigment mainly responsible for skin color is melanin.
Paccinian corpuscles: can always be seen in the deep part of the dermis of both glabrous and hairy skin. Structurally, they are very much like the Meissner's corpuscles.
Paccinian corpuscles can be found in the Periosteum of the bone, capsules of the joints, pancreas, other internal organs, breast, and genitalia.
