Complete question:

Question: Where does variation in a population come from?

1. Observe: Hold your cursor over one of the insects. The two rod-like structures under  the Genotype on the right side of the Gizmo represents chromosomes. The three letters next to  each chromosome represent alleles.

Which alleles does the insect have? ____________________________________________

The alleles carried on an organism’s chromosomes make up the organism’s genotype

Explanation:

You will see that each chromatid has three alleles. Next to each allele, you will see which version of the gene is (W). In this particular example, all the alleles are the same, so all of them express white. Both chromatids carry only W alleles.

Think about alleles as an alternative form of the gene. So on this chromosome, we have only three genes but eight possible alternatives, which will be coding for white, red, blue, green, cyan, magenta, yellow, or black. The color expression will depend on the individual´s genotype.

In this case, the selected insect carries only the W allele, and its phenotype is white. The genotype of this insect is WWW WWW.

Note: If you click on any other insect, you will find the same genotype for all of them.

However, consider that depending on the environmental conditions and the selective pressures, these alleles might change. Individuals might carry other alleles that code for another color instead of having only W alleles.

transcription is a process in which information is rewritten. it is something our cells must do, in a more specialized and narrowly defined way. in biology, transcription is the process of copying out the dna sequence of a gene in the similar alphabet of rna. it needs to happen in the nucleus because that's where the dna is. dna is always inside the nucleus unless the cell is dividing.

transcription is the first step in gene expression, which involves copying a gene's dna sequence to make an rna molecule. transcription is performed by rna polymerases. it has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. rna molecules must be processed after transcription in eukaryotes.

explanation:

long version:

the protein synthesis consists two processes which are, transcription and translation. transcription takes place in the nucleus. it uses dna as a template to make an rna molecule. rna then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: dna → rna. it is the transfer of genetic instructions in dna to messenger rna (mrna). during transcription, a strand of mrna is made that is complementary to a strand of dna.  

these three stages are:

  initiation: in which   is the beginning of transcription.occuring when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

    elongation: in which is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

    termination: in which is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
