Frameshift Mutations

Show More
Missense- A mutation that occurs when one DNA base pair is substituted.
Insertion- A mutation that occurs when another piece of DNA is added to the DNA chain. This can lead to issues with the protein not working.
Frameshift- The grouping of the bases are shifted, which results in the code being altered. An substitution and a insertion of a DNA is an example of a Frameshift mutation.
Nonsense- A slight change within the DNA pair. This can result in the protein being shorter or not being able to function

(Khan Academy) E. coli chooses prefers glucose and other "better" sugars, so if any are present other than lactose the lac operon will not be expressed in the plasmid.

    Muckle-Wells Syndrome

    This usually results in a protein that is defective, or loses the ability to fold in such a way that allows it to function properly. Sometimes a point mutation can code for a premature stop codon, and depending on where it is in the normal sequence of amino acids, it can severely alter the protein produced [16]. One mutation that has been shown to cause this defect on the NLRP3 gene is the p.D303N mutation. This mutation causes a G907A (Guanine to Adenine) transition on the DNA. This point mutation changes only one amino acid aspartic acid into asparagine in the peptide chain [17].…

    Differences Between Genetic Mutations And Natural Selection

    Mutations are changes in the genetic code which is the only way through which new genetic material and variations can be obtained. Mutations further include chromosomal mutations which is necessary for various variations. Genetic Drift can be defined as how the changes that occur randomly in the frequency of alleles which impact populations of many species. These also lead to effects such as bottle neck and founders effect.…

    To The Bitter End Case Study

    Moreover, a haplotype is referred as a combination of alleles or a set of SNPS that can be found in the same chromosome. 3. If PAV which codes for proline, alanine and valine is the original, therefore the AVI which codes for alanine, valine, and isoleucine is the missense codon (Overath, 2011). As a result, when there is an alteration in which a only one nucleotide changes to a different amino acid it’s a missense mutation. The “functional enzyme hypothesis” is the idea that every a gene codes for a only one enzyme and that as a result alters a stage in the metabolic pathway.…

    Rolling Circle Mitosis

    In rolling circle replication, a nicking protein called relaxase identifies a specific sequence on the DNA and makes a “nick” or cut at that location. The nick is created by the protein and allows the DNA to unwind and continue the process. Once the DNA opens forming an open complex from there a lagging strand will develop along the 3’ template strand due to the polarity and orientation of the strands. A leading strand will emerge and DNA polymerase enlists nucleotides to pair with the exposed DNA template while RNA primer provides a 5’ end for nucleotides to pair with on the laggings strand. This continues until all the DNA is replicated, once the DNA is copied over what exists are tandem repeats called concatemers.…

    Reserve Genetic Analysis

    Reserve genetics is a tool used to identify the functionality of a known gene sequence or a gene family by genetic editing to generate the mutant phenotype. As it is done in a direction from gene to phenotype, which is opposite to ‘forward genetics’, hence named as reverse genetics. As the whole genome sequences are much more accessible nowadays with various genome sequencing technologies developed. This enables modifying a known gene, and to create a known mutation. The mutated gene might then give a change in the phenotype.…

    Transduction is the process of how foreign DNA is transferred into a gene cell. An example is the viral transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another. After the gene cell's are multiplied the viruses assemble and remove a portion of the host cell's bacterial DNA. Transduction is one of the most common tool used by molecular biologist to introduce a foreign gene into a new host cell's genome. "Specialized Transduction".thefreedictionary.com N.p., 2017.…

    Causes Of Autism Spectrum Disorders

    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects the brain’s development of social and communication skills. A person with autism may have repetitive behaviors, social challenges, and communication difficulties which last throughout a person’s lifetime. About one percent of the world’s population is living with autism, and about 3.5 million Americans are living with an ASD. There is no known single cause for autism, but most accept that autism is caused by abnormalities in brain structure or function. Brain scans show differences in the brain structure when compared to a neurotypical brain (Autism-Society).…

    Central Dogma Of Molecular Biology

    Possible Modifications of Central Dogma of molecular Biology Introduction The central dogma of molecular biology is describes the transfer of genetic information within a biological system and was first stated by Francis Crick in 1956. The central dogma is the flow of genetic information as ‘’DNA makes the RNA and RNA makes the protein. ’’All biological cells with few exceptions in some follow this rule. This flow takes place through three fundamental processes: replication, transcription and translation.…
