The nitrogen oxides are not all bad. They are both used in the lead chamber process as catalysts to convert SO2 to SO3, which is the essential first step in the production of sulphuric acid. They are also precursors in the Ostwald Process for the manufacture of nitric acid (see below).
Single Gene Traits in Humans. The following is a list of some autosomal human traits that have been attributed to a single gene. Although clearly other genes are involved, the inheritance of each of these phenotypic traits acts as if it were governed by a single gene. First, indicate your expression of the trait (i.e., circle the appropriate phenotype).
dominant gene one that produces an effect (the phenotype) in the organism regardless of the state of the corresponding allele. An example of a trait determined by a dominant gene is brown eye color.See also heredity. histocompatibility gene one that determines the specificity of tissue antigenicity (hla antigens) and thus the compatibility of donor and recipient in tissue transplantation and blood transfusion.hen both pairs of an allele are either dominant or recessive, the individual is said to be homozygous for the traits coded by the gene. If the alleles differ (one dominant and one recessive), the individual is heterozygous. See: illustration; chromosome; DNA; RNA.
