Each gene giving rise to a particular phenotype. OI is characterised by tendency to fracture due to brittle bones‚ bone curvature and short stature. Osteogenesis Imperfecta has a birth prevalence of 6-7 per 100‚ 000 persons but each type has a different prevalence and incidence. 85-90% of OI

BIOLOGY MIDTERM ESSAY 1. How does the biologist determine whether a thing is living or nonliving? Or what characteristics do living organisms have that non-living things do not? They look at it under a microscope and see if it has cells. Basically‚ if it has cells the it’s alive. If it doesn’t have cells it is considered nonliving. There are smaller archaebacteria that behave like small parts of cells. These are considered living too‚ because they have chemical bonds of RNA‚ which is the singular

This paper is an attempt to show why it is a mistake to believe that characteristics that are influenced by genes cannot be changed except by modifying genes. Key terms will be explained Genes are how living organisms inherit features from their ancestors; for example‚ children usually look like their parents because they have inherited their parents’ genes. Genetics tries to identify which features are inherited‚ and explain how these features pass from generation to generation. A feature of a

Abiotic A term-that describes a nonliving factorin an ecosystem. Active Transport -The movement of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration that uses energy provided by ATP or a difference in electrical charges across a cell membrane. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) A molecule that provides energy for cellular reactions and processes. ATP releases energy when one of its high‐energy bonds is broken to release a phosphate group.

THE STEPS WHEN INTERPRETING A PEDIGREE CHART Determine if the pedigree chart shows an autosomal or Xlinked disease. If most of the males in the pedigree are affected‚ then the disorder is X-linked If it is a 50/50 ratio between men and women the disorder is autosomal. INTERPRETING A PEDIGREE CHART Determine whether the disorder is dominant or recessive. If the disorder is dominant‚ one of the parents must have the disorder. If the disorder is recessive‚ neither
