No, a person's characteristics are partly genetic and partly acquired; biologists refer to this as nature and nurture. For example, the fact that I speak English is not a genetic trait. I speak English because that is the language that my parents taught me to speak. The fact that I was capable of learning to speak English is genetic.
No, a person's characteristics are influenced by a combination of genes and the environment. While genes play a significant role in shaping traits like eye color or height, environmental factors such as upbringing, education, and experiences also play a crucial role in shaping a person's personality, behavior, and abilities.
No, the genes carried on sex chromosomes determine more than just a person's gender. They also play a role in other biological traits, such as physical characteristics, hormone production, and some disease risks.
No, you inherit characteristics from both your mother and your father. Genes from both parents contribute to your physical and behavioral traits.
only some genes located on the X chromosome control female sexual characteristics
Humans have approximately 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. These genes are responsible for encoding proteins that play various roles in the functioning of our bodies. Each of these genes is made up of DNA sequences that determine specific traits and characteristics of an individual.
False. Skin color in humans is a complex trait that is influenced by multiple genes, not just one pair of genes or alleles. Many factors, including genetic, environmental, and evolutionary influences, contribute to the wide range of skin colors observed in human populations.
No. Height can also be determined by environmental factors such as diet.
physical characteristics, yes. unless there was a mutation at birth
No, an organism's genetically expressed characteristics, or phenotype, may be altered or affected by its environment; in a purely physical connotation, Nature versus Nurture. There are dozens of Cell types yet we are told that all Cells contain the same set of Genes; how can this be? An organism is composed from organs. The characteristics of an organ are determined by the Expression of the genes that are ensconced in its Nucleus. It is highly common that many 'gene products' act as biochemical switches that by their presence, or absence, determine {called determination} wether or not another gene will be 'actively' expressed. This would be 'internal regulation'. The NEW SCIENCE OF EPIGENETICS focuses on the external or environmental molecular switches that effect (the) patterns of gene expression.
No- some are determined by environment. If you are tanned, have callouses on your hands, have strong arms and a 6 pack abs- that came only partially from your genes. Exposure to sunlight and hard labor got you the rest.
Because peoples appearances changes as their body changes.
They get the genes of both parents. Only one chromosome determines gender, but the rest of the traits are determined by both parents.
No, the genes carried on sex chromosomes determine more than just a person's gender. They also play a role in other biological traits, such as physical characteristics, hormone production, and some disease risks.
No, you inherit characteristics from both your mother and your father. Genes from both parents contribute to your physical and behavioral traits.
No, a cell can have thousands of genes. Genes contain the instructions for making proteins that carry out various functions within a cell. The interactions of these genes determine the cell's characteristics and behaviors.
because they are the only blood cells with a core .That means that they have dna
No, characteristics can be controlled by multiple genes interacting with each other. This is known as polygenic inheritance. Additionally, environmental factors can also influence the expression of these genes, further complicating the determination of specific genetic control.
