DNA sequence

bring issues into the world. One of these “issues” that humans know today is genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is one of the well known creations known to man kind. However people believe that this creation of alternating Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) can have its negative effects just as it has it positive effects.(“Genetic engineering of animals”). Genetic Engineering was intended only to modify the genetic makeup of someone or something. (“What Is Genetic Engineering?”). But it is…

plasmid has an Ori, pBAD, araC, bla, and GFP. The Ori, origin of replication, is the site of DNA replication in the plasmid. On these DNA strands is the pBAD promoter, a sequence of DNA used to start the transcription of the GFP (green fluorescent protein), which only…

replicated and divided. The cell cycle functions comparable to set of sequences in a control system. This control system behaves like switches with many backup processes and qualities allowing the cell cycle to operate effectively and efficiently. During the cell cycle, four stages occur known as G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, & M phase. The G1 phase is where the cell is assigned to enter the process for chromosome duplication. DNA replication occurs in the S phase. The third phase, G2 phase, the…

In the 1960’s two scientists named François Jacob and Jacques Monod explored how the regulation of transcription of DNA affects the enzyme levels in a cell. They found this information through experiments in eubacteria and eukaryotes. According to Kireeva (2013) “However, the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase proved elusive until 1960, when it was independently identified in bacteria by Hurwitz and Stevens and in plants by the Bonner group” (p. 8325). There were also many experiments after these in…

set of genetic instructions also known as an organism’s set of DNA, which allow a human being to grow and develop. There are approximately more than 3 billion DNA pairs within an entire genome, containing millions of cells, which all carry various instructions. Inside of our DNA, there is a unique chemical code, which determines our growth, development, and health. This specific code is derived by four nucleotide bases that conform the DNA. These are called, adenine, cytosine, guanine, and…

(Liao et al, 2011). The IL2RG gene is located on the chromosome X: 71,107,404-71,112,108 and the chromosome band is q13.1. The structure of the IL2RG-004 transcript contains 8 coding exons and 369 residues when translated (Flicek et al, 2014).The sequence of the translated protein is shown below: >ENST00000374202 peptide: ENSP00000363318…

In the article, Perkin begun by describing how the fossils can shed light of evolutionary changes. For example, the transitional fossil can provide how the ancestor and modern species are different and similar. The most known example of transitional fossil is Tiktaalik which is the species between the arthropod and tetrapod. In addition, we can trace back the ancestor of the modern species using fossils. In the article, Perkins details how the species named elder frog might be an ancestor of…

Evolution of FOXP2 in Humans In order to better understand the mechanism that resulted in the exon 7 amino acid substitution in humans and no other species, researchers compared the rate of protein sequence evolution in humans compared to that of chimpanzees. By obtaining protein sequences from different species and aligning them, using a rate analysis and computer simulations, they found that protein evolution rate in humans, compared to that of other primates, was significantly higher in human…

It was time to depart. The engines had been warmed up, the supplies were ready and the equipment had been installed and was ready to use. “Five, four, three, two, one, BLAST-Off” chanted Captain Xerox at headquarters, and with that our micro-V96 craft was propelled towards the cell membrane for the first leg of our journey to investigate the process of Protein Synthesis in a eukaryotic animal cell. The cell membrane is a delicate wall of phospholipid molecules, consisting of hydrophilic heads…

Abstract: Wisdom Panel’s genetic analysis of a canine with traits that are predominant in the animal shelter supports that Sunny is a mixed breed with terrier blood on both sides of her ancestry tree. This did not support that her breed would have relatively higher susceptibility to mutations as she tested negative for MDR1, and also displays no lameness, behavior, or traits limiting her mobility and neurological state. Introduction: In shelters, there are predominantly medium to large…
