How co-dominance and incomplete dominance differ from simple dominance of an allele. Introduction: DNA is a genetic material consisting of a long stretch of nucleotide sequences with 2 m length. It carries genetic information from one generation to the next. A complete list of the DNA sequences is known as a genome, which includes coding and non-coding regions of DNA. Gene is defined as a segment of DNA that codes for mRNA and protein. The total human genome consists of about 3.1 billion base pairs with 20,000 protein-coding genes. The average length of a single gene is nearly 3000 base pairs size, and it may go up to 2.4 million.

Molecular Biology Please help with question. thank you You are studying the expression of the lac operon. You have isolated mutants as described below. In the presence of glucose, explain/describe what would happen, for each mutant, to the expression of the lac operon when you add lactose AND what would happen when the bacteria has used up all of the lactose (if the mutant is able to use lactose).5. Mutations in the lac operator that strengthen the binding of the lac repressor 200 fold 6. Mutations in the promoter that prevent binding of RNA polymerase 7. Mutations in CRP/CAP protein that prevent binding of cAMP8. Mutations in sigma factor that prevent binding of sigma to core RNA polymerase

Molecular Biology Please help and there is an attached image. Thank you. A bacteria has a gene whose protein/enzyme product is involved with the synthesis of a lipid necessary for the synthesis of the cell membrane. Expression of this gene requires the binding of a protein (called ACT) to a control sequence (called INC) next to the promoter. A. Is the expression/regulation of this gene an example of induction or repression?Please explain:B. Is this expression/regulation an example of positive or negative control?C. When the lipid is supplied in the media, the expression of the enzyme is turned off.Describe one likely mechanism for how this “turn off” is accomplished.
