Introduction:
The genes determine the physical traits of any organism. A gene is a part of the DNA that gives rise to RNA, which is then translated, into a protein and this protein can alter any organism’s physical characteristics. Different proteins are created when there is a small difference in the genetic code of a gene and hence these different proteins can result in variations in the physical characteristics. Thus, the variation of the same gene is known as alleles. For example, allele 1 of gene A will result in black hair whereas allele 2 of gene B will result in white hair.
As per the given data, a single dominant gene controls carrying strips of leaves in the bill and diploid organisms in general have two copies of the genome. This means that each gene will be represented twice. The

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forward
