The upcoming discussion will update you about the similarities and dissimilarities between chromosomes and genes. Similarities: Chromosomes: 1. Each diploid cell has two sets of a chromosome. 2. A gamete contains half the number of chromosomes than somatic cell. 3. Each member of homologous pair of chromosome assorts independently during meiosis (anaphase I). 4. Chromosomes show segregation. 5. Chromosomes duplicate [...]
The below mentioned article will highlight the seventeen important types of genes with regard to their role and activity. The seventeen important types of genes are: (1) House Keeping Genes (2) Non-constitutive Genes (3) Inducible Genes (4) Repressible Genes (5) Multi-genes (6) Repeated Genes (7) Single Copy Genes (8) Pseudo-genes (9) Processed Genes (10) Split Genes (11) Transposons (12) Overlapping [...]
In this article, we propose to discuss the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes with diagram. Operons are also functional in eukaryotes. Likewise, they are of two types, inducible and repressible. Gene regulation of eukaryotes is slightly complex as compared to that of prokaryotes. 1. Different structural genes connected to a metabolic pathway do not often lie adjacent to one [...]
