Research on Prokaryotic Transcription

1 page / 640 words

Studies in E. coli primarily led to the discovery of the detailed mechanism of prokaryotic transcription. Overall, it appears that prokaryotic transcription requires the DNA double helix to partially unwind in the region where mRNA synthesis takes place. This region of unwinding is known as...

Gene Environment Interaction

6 pages / 2721 words

Gene-environment interaction is when two different genotypes respond to environmental variation in different ways. A norm of reaction is a graph that shows the relationship between genes and environmental factors when phenotypic differences are continuous. They can help illustrate GxE interactions. When the norm of...

Heredity Concept: Transmission of Genetic Characteristics, Possible Heritable Traits.

7 pages / 3656 words

Introduction Heredity is the transmission of genetic characteristics from ancestor to descendant through the genes. As a subject, it is tied closely to genetics, the area of biological study concerned with hereditary traits. The study of heritable traits helps scientists discern which are dominant and...
