What Areproteomes And Proteomics.? |
|
Answer» The proteome is the complement of proteins EXPRESSED by an organism, tissue or cell type. PROTEOMICS, the study of proteomes, CHARACTERISATION of patterns of gene expression at the PROTEIN level or defined more widely as the link between proteins and genomes. Importance of proteomics is to identify proteins with altered levels of expression. Changes in protein expression levels are ASSOCIATED with disease states, drug treatment, cellular stress, genetic manipulation or changes in metabolism.

What Is Co-dominance ? |
|
Answer» co-dominance means there are ALWAYS two alleles for any character. If the two alleles are equally dominant over one another and neither of them exprasses to outside is called codominance.Here neither of the character appares in offspring.This PHENOMENON can be CLEARLY EXPLAINED by taking the example of DROSOPHILA. co-dominance means there are always two alleles for any character.

What Is Mutation? |
|
Answer» SUDDEN HERITABLE CHANGE in dna or chromosomes is called mutation. There are agents which cause mutations called mutagens.

What Are Teaspoons? |
|
Answer» These are specific sequences in DNA of all oranisms ,viruses which can get inserted to any other DNA. So called as jumping genes DISCOVERED by by Barbara MC clintosh.They may be replicative /non replicative.They are CLASSIFIED as composite ,Is Cut &paste .Retroposons etc.They bring about MUTATION (frame shift )& also oncogenic .some of the egs are LINES ,SINES In humans ,gal genes in drosophila.

What Happens In Dislexia, Genetic Or Brain Damage ? |
|
Answer» Dyslexia is an unexpected impairment in reading and SPELLING DESPITE a normal intellect. Dyslexia RESULTS from a disfunction in visual memory and visual perception due to a delayment in maturation. Most dyslexics also display poor writing ability. Dyslexia is a classical primary reading disorder and should be DIFFERENTIATED from secondary disorders such as mental retardation, educational or environmental deprivation, or physical/organic diseases. The disorder results as a combination of genetic and environmental causes, which can induce VARIATIONS in the behavioral, cognitive, and physiological measures related to reading disability. Dyslexia was previously called congenital word blindness. Dyslexia is an unexpected impairment in reading and spelling despite a normal intellect.

What Is A Genetic Disorder ? |
|
Answer» SUDDEN CHANGE in the structure and composition of a chromosome or genes is called mutation.If mutation occurs at genetic level these mutations are called point mutations. if any nitrogen base in a gene is added or DELETED that leads to many chromosomal aberrations LADING to many phenotypical and genetical DISORDERS.

Is Haemophilia A Sex Linked Disease? How? |
|
Answer» Yes,The gene for Haemophilia is carried on the X sex CHROMOSOME (FEMALES are XX; males are XY). A man with Haemophilia PASSES the faulty gene to his daughters who then carry this gene and MAY pass the condition onto their sons. A man with Haemophilia does not pass the faulty gene onto his sons because they receive a copy of his Y chromosome (their X chromosome comes from the mother).
