Why is biochemical purification of one gene away from the other genes in a cell more challenging than biochemical purification of one protein away from the other proteins in a cell?

a)A cell has many more genes that it has proteins.
b) DNA is very unstable and is likely to be broken down during the purification process.
c) Proteins are larger molecules than genes.
d)The chemical nature of all genes is very similar; the chemical nature of various proteins can be very different.

The purification of one gene from the other genes is more challenging than the biochemical purification proteins because the chemical nature of all genes is very similar (Option d).

DNA is a double helix molecule composed of two long chains of nucleotides linked by hydrogen bonds.In DNA, there are four types of nucleotides, each containing one different type of nitrogenous base (i.e., Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine)Genes are very similar chains of nucleotides, which are always composed of specific single-strand fragments of the DNA molecule.Conversely, proteins have specific tridimensional (3D) structures and these macromolecules are composed of 20 different types of amino acids.

In conclusion, the purification of one gene from the other genes is more challenging than the biochemical purification proteins because the chemical nature of all genes is very similar (Option d).

d) The chemical nature of all genes is very similar; the chemical nature of various proteins can be very different.

Explanation:

The isolation of proteins requires protein separation techniques and identification which can identify individual proteins because of their distinct differences as well as different charges but in the case of genes, their chemical nature comprising of DNA are the same.

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.

Charles darwin published his theory of evolution in 1859. in what way foes modern evolutionary theory differ from the theory as proposed by darwin? a) darwin inferred that individuals can evolve, but modern generic science has shown that this is not true. b)darwin inferred that individuals do not evolve, but modern genetic science has shown that this is not true. c)modern science has disproved most of darwin's original theory of evolution, because darwin knew nothing about generations and their role in heredity. d)generic studies have shown that gene expression and other factors operate along with natural selection, but most of darwin's theory has been supported by modern science.
