DNA repair

humanity or damage it. The DNA that is known as CRISPR-cas9 has been said to do incredible things, but also horrible things. Another problem is that in this world today who owns the patent, who can truly say that this was their discovery, and what does CRISPR really do? Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, CRISPR for short, are segments of DNA that contain short, repeating sequences. The repetitions are then followed by segments of DNA from the host DNA strand. A simple…

Metaphase I (MI) (Assembly of meiotic apparatus) During Metaphase I, Chromosomes move together along the metaphase plate. DNA replication, repair spindle function, and chromosome segregation are controlled by regulatory mechanisms of spindle assembly checkpoints (Elledge, 1996). The cellular spindle apparatus includes the spindle microtubules, associated proteins, and any centrosomes or asters present at the spindle poles. The dynamic lengthening and shortening of spindle microtubules (Mitchison…

mutations in DNA sequence, nucleosome positioning, chromatin organization and epigenetic changes in DNA methylation and histone modifications. Numerous genetic mutations of inherited cancers have been identified, as there is a large body of research dedicated to identifying DNA mutations that are linked to tumor initiation. After initiation, tumor progression often occurs due to multiple additional dysregulation events, including epigenetic changes which are often not as easily identifiable as…

Darwin’s Theory of normal choice was known as a hereditary change in a populace coming about because of differential conceptive achievement. Darwin had persuaded the vast majority of mainstream researchers that new species emerge through plunge through change in a spreading example of difference from regular precursors, however while most researchers acknowledged that normal choice is a legitimate and experimentally testable speculation, Darwin's view that it is the essential instrument of…

result in daughter cells forming. In the end of mitosis, two daughter cells appear shortly after and have identical DNA like the parent cell. However, in meiosis four daughter cells are produced and genetically distinct from one another and from the parent cell. Due to the fact mitosis produces new cells with identical DNA as the parent cell it can function in the renewal and repair in fully grown eukaryotic cells, replacing cells that died.…

What is cloning? Coning is the process of making a replica of something using its DNA. How does it affect agriculture? One way cloning affects agriculture is animals. The perfect animal can be made through cloning. Take a farm animal for example. You take the DNA from one farm animal, and clone it. A cow for example, it would never be sick, if it was a milking cow, it would produce some of the best milk. If it was a meat cow, you would get the best beef. If a female, it would get pregnant with…

chromosomal DNA, the basic unit of which is the nucleosome, consisting of 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a core histone octamer. To regulate the structure of chromatin, histones undergo a large number of post-translational modifications, such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, sumoylation, ADP ribosylation, beta-N-acetylglucosamine and deamination. These modifications can also recruit other remodeling proteins and complexes to reposition nucleosomes and take part in many…

necessary needs for the cell. Although this mainly applies to Eukaryotic cells, this can also apply to Prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells perform some of these function, but in a simpler way. Organelles work together to protect the cell, provide energy, repair the cell, direct the cell, and clean up the cell. First, organelles work together to protect the cell. The cell membrane is the main organelle that regulates and controls what goes inside the cell and what stays out. According to the…
