Genetic disorders are a result of a faulty gene or abnormal chromosome, and their potential exists at birth, while congenital disorders are abnormalities that exist before birth and may have an environmental or genetic influence. Thus, this is the key difference between genetic and congenital disorde...
Why is a 2n organism said to have two copies of each chromosome? What is the difference between genome sequencing and DNA sequencing? How many chromosomes are there in humans after S-phase? The genetic composition of daughter cells produced by mitosis differs from that of the daughter cell...
When it comes to genetic traits, scientists look at genes and the locus where that gene or trait encodes on the chromosome. Since humans possess two copies of each chromosome, they also have two copies of each gene and locus on those chromosomes. Each of these trait-encoding genes (or loci...
(a)Compare between DNA replication and transcription.Similarities1. Both involve unwinding of the double helix DNA;2.Both involve breaking of the weak hydrogen bonds between complementarbases;3.Both involve formation of phosphodiester bonds between neighbouring nucleotides;4.Both involve aligning free nucl...
Occurs when only one copy of a certain gene is present in the genome, and both copies are required for proper function. Isochromosome-Xq A genetic defect that results from the total deletion of the short arm of the X chromosome owing to the fusion of two long arms. ...
What is the difference between DNA and RNA? What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis? What is the difference between chromatin and histone? Describe the process of making mRNA from DNA. Describe how amino acids bind to tRNA. What is the difference between genome sequencing and DNA sequ...
Genes associated with cell proliferation, immune response, and drug metabolism are differentially targeted by transcription factors between males and females in healthy lung tissue and lung adenocarcinoma samples. Gene regulatory differences between males and females are also affected by an individual’s hi...
In the case of mental disorder research, for which the causative gene has not been established yet, we are trying to identify the ‘pathogenic gene’ by comprehensive analysis of genetic or epigenetic difference between discordant MZ twins. To date, no compelling evidence suggesting such difference...
A dense SNP-based linkage map for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) reveals extended chromosome homeologies and striking differences in sex-specific recombinat... The Atlantic salmon genome is in the process of returning to a diploid state after undergoing a whole genome duplication (WGD) event ...
Chapter 9: Better explanation of whole-genome shotgun sequencing technology. Chapter 10: New illustration of consensus amino acid sequences in proteins. New information about the process of de novo gene birth. Chapter12: New material on design and synthesis of yeast chromosomes. Chapter 15: New ...
