Cyclins
are the chemicals that regulate the cell cycle. Cyclins work by regulating the timing
of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cell. Cyclins activates cyclin dependent
kinases (CDKs) (an enzyme that works by adding <span>negatively charged phosphate groups to other
molecules in a process called phosphorylation) by binding to it to form a cyclin-Cdk
complex. This complex then functions by acting as a signal to the cell to move
to the next cell cycle phase. At the end of the event, the cyclin is degraded, Cdk
is deactivated, therefore signaling exit from a specific phase.</span>
Selective breeding
In selective breeding, the
desired genes from one organism are combined with genes of another
organism, resulting in a new combination of genes.
The selective breeding is quite voluntary and is not necessarily natural or congenital. It is the act of how people or individuals can choose traits in the gene pool of their choice to produce their desired or goal organism in the process. This trait is influenced in the host of the specific sperm and egg cell which makes up the chromosomes.
Genotype of the Q gene is homozygous dominant
The exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids that may result in new gene combinations on the chromosomes is called the random assortment. It involves formation of random combinations of chromosomes in meiosis and of genes on different pairs of homologous chromosomes by the passage according to the laws of probability of one of each diploid pair of homologous chromosomes into each gamete independently to each other pair.
The nine activities that scientists engage in as a part of scientific inquiry are the following:
1. Observe
2. Define the problem
3. Form a study question
4. Research the problem
5. State the expectations (hypothesis)
6. Experiment and gather data
7. Analyze the results
8. Reflect on the findings
9. Communicate with the wider community
