Fill in the blanks of the following sentences. A chromosome contains one long __________ molecule. Each gene in this molecule gives the instructions for making a __________________. Both chromosomes in a pair of ______________________ chromosomes have the same ___________, but the two chromosomes may have different _________________. Chromosomes that are not homologous have different ______________ which give the instructions for making different kinds of proteins.

@Abhisar would you mind helping me on this?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Sorry for the delay...these trolls and spammers won't let me teach peacefully :D

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So why don't you try first yourself ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Trolls and Spammers are a drag.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A chromosome contains one long DNA molecule?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Sorry again >_< Yes, that's correct..next one ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Each gene in this molecule gives the instructions for making a daughter cell? I am not 100% with this one.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Nopes, DNA is transcripted and then translated by which proteins are synthesized

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And that means...? Sorry I am not following.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

That means each gene gives instructions for synthesizing a protein.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it Chromosome?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry Biology is my weak subject.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Hey m really sorry >_< ... got involved in dealing with spammers....m feeling bad..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't, it is totally okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll wait for someone I can trust, and someone that helps me understand. Rather than just give me the answer. :)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

A chromosome contains one long DNA molecule. Each gene in this molecule gives the instructions for making a amino acid

OpenStudy (abhisar):

amino acids are the monomers of proteins.....

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Getting it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I think so. I make mistakes of thinking I will remember and then not take notes. Probably the most idiotic thing I do.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It's ok. Shall we do the next one ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes we shall.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ok, so what do you think it should be ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it homologous?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Nw m nt attending anything else untill we complete this ..

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\huge \checkmark\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

next one ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

chromosomes have the same __________(Not sure about this one) _, but the two chromosomes may have different _____gene__________.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Homologous chromosomes are similiar but not identical. Each carries the same genes in the same order, but the alleles for each trait may not be the same.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Homologous chromosomes contains the same genes at the same locations in the chromosome. However, the two homologous chromosomes may have different versions of a gene. The two different versions of the same gene are called alleles.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Very Good \(\huge \checkmark\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I got this now. Thank you soooooooo... much for your help! You are like saving my life right now. Thank you!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Last one ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alleles? Sorry I had some computer problems for a second.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No, be carefull in the last one it says `Chromosomes that are not homologous`

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So here we will say they have different genes.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Homologous ----> Same gene, diff allele Non-Homo ---> Diff Gene.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it heterotypic

OpenStudy (abhisar):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I spelled it wrong give me a sec.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heterozygous. I think that is what I am thinking of.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Actually i think you don't understand the meaning of homozygous chromosome properly..

OpenStudy (abhisar):

oops..i mean homologous :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) I don't think I do either.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

okay....see this Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. 1 pair from father and 1 pair from mother

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, yes. I know that.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

|dw:1416952424352:dw|

OpenStudy (abhisar):

|dw:1416952540718:dw| Lets name 1F to the chromosome no1 from father and 1M to the chromosome no 1 recieved from mother.
