What does the normal gene responsible for hyperkalemic periodic paralysis responsible for?
The normal gene is responsible for a muscle protein controlling the flow of sodium during muscle contraction.
A segment of chromosome responsible for a particular characteristic?
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
Which of the following is the first step in gene therapy?
Identifying the faulty Gene. Identifying the faulty Gene that causes the disease.
What is the gene that makes fireflies glow?
In the nucleus of each cell in a firefly's tail, an enzyme called RNA Polymerase finds the DNA encoding the LUC gene within the cell's genome. The LUC gene specifies the squence of amino acids that make up the Luciferase enzyme, which in turn is responsible for the glow we see.
Can s single gene control more than one characteristic?
Yes, a single gene can control more than one characteristic through a concept called pleiotropy. This occurs when a gene influences multiple, seemingly unrelated traits or phenotypes. Examples include the gene responsible for sickle cell anemia, which can also affect resistance to malaria, or the gene responsible for Marfan syndrome, which can impact the heart, eyes, and skeleton.
What does the gene ST2 responsible for?
The gene ST2 codes for a receptor known as IL-33 receptor. This receptor plays a role in regulating the immune response and is particularly important in allergic reactions and inflammatory processes.
Is the SRY gene responsible for testosterone?
Indirectly. The SRY gene is responsible for activating the gene responsible for testosterone production (thereby causing 'maleness' in a developing foetus).
What are the different types of Charcot Marie Tooth disease?
CMT types 1 and 2 can be broken down into subtypes based upon the gene that is causing CMT. The subtypes are labeled by letters, so there is CMT1A, CMT1B, etc.
What gene is responsible for the wings on a bat?

Is there a gene responsible for alcoholism?
There is no gene known to cause alcoholism.
What does the normal gene responsible for hypokalemic periodic paralysis responsible for?
The normal gene is responsible for a muscle protein controlling the flow of calcium during muscle contraction.
What does the normal gene responsible for hyperkalemic periodic paralysis responsible for?
The normal gene is responsible for a muscle protein controlling the flow of sodium during muscle contraction.
What is the NF2 gene responsible for?
The NF2 gene is responsible for helping to prevent the formation of tumors in the nerve cells. In particular the NF2 gene helps to prevent acoustic neuromas
What is the gene responsible for baldness?

What is gene G responsible for in fruit flies?
Gene G in fruit flies may be responsible for a specific trait, protein, or function within the organism. Further research and experimentation would be needed to determine the exact role and function of gene G in fruit flies.
What is the rufus gene?
It is a coat color gene in animals that is responsible for the deep orange color as in tigers.
What gene does bipolar disorder happen in?
