Guanine and Thymine. The sequence of these bases on DNA determines the structure of these proteins. A gene is a sequence of bases which codes for a single polypeptide. Chromosomes carry these genes and these genes come in specific forms called an allele which is how living organisms vary from each other. For example‚ humans are made up of an XY or XX chromosome. Females are XX and males are XY‚ however in some animals their sex is determined by the ZW sex-determination

9.7 - Genetics: The Code Broken? (Option)1. The structure of a gene provides the code for a polypeptide:•Describe the processes involved in the transfer of information from DNA through RNA to the production of a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide:-The structures involved in polypeptide synthesis are:DNA: A gene contains a sequence of bases to code for a protein. Every set of 3 bases is called a codon. RNA: RNA is similar to DNA except that instead of deoxyribose as the sugar‚ it has ribose

results in 46 chromosomes‚ which makes up a zygote. The difference between a dominant and a recessive gene is that a dominant gene is a gene overrides the recessive gene. It can suppress the recessive gene therefore it changes the allele even though a recessive allele existed. 3. Description of

of how populations change genetically over time. d. Gene pool: the total aggregate of genes in a population at any one time. It consists of all alleles at all gene loci in all individuals of the population 3. What is the Hardy-Weinberg Theorem and why does it appear to be an apparent contradiction to evolution? The theorem states that frequencies of alleles and genotypes will stay the same as long as the gametes are contributed to the next population at random. This appears to be a contradiction to
