Gene

acids in the polypeptide is determined by 3-letter codes in the messenger RNA. “Synthesis of RNA deriving from a DNA template is known as the transcription process. Only one strand of DNA is imitative. After transcription, the DNA strands rejoin.” (Gene expression n.d) Ribosomes that synthesize proteins consuming the mature messenger RNA transcript produced during the transcription process, happens during the Translation process. Recombinant DNA is produced by merging DNA from two or more…

society on the many developing ways in which scientists can change evolution within the ecosystem. This being said, gene technology is stated as the range of tests involved with comprehending gene expressions, acquiring genetic variation, and being able to modify genes to result in being able to transfer those genes to a new host. This process is accessible to every species. Genes are also passed on from generation to generation which was referred to in the interview as “Nature’s Evolution.” As…

The genes in our DNA are what decided what our phenotypes would be, or how we were going to look like. But I don’t think it is accurate to say DNA is responsible for our phenotypes, I believe everything that affects our DNA is what is responsible for our phenotype. Our DNA would be different if I had different parents or if environmental factors took place. Yes, once the DNA is set into place it cannot change (obviously). But before that moment so much can happen that the possibilities are…

The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community is always being discussed whether it be because, people do not agree with the life style or simply because they are trying to discover why someone is homosexual. The largest part of this discussion is if it is a genetic doing or if it is the environment in which someone is raised in. Some communities of people believe that it can actually be a combination of both that is the ultimate determination of someone being homosexual. Nature versus…

arteries and to the rest of the body. Because a shark’s blood pressure is very low, they must be constantly moving to keep circulation going. Chromosomes are structures of protein and nucleic acids found in the nucleus that hold DNA in the form of genes, which are transferred from parent to offspring which determines the order of the monomers in a nucleic acid molecule. A haploid cell means that it only has half the chromosomes, so it’s from one parent, while a diploid cell has a full set of…

The four forces of evolution include natural selection, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift. Natural selection is the foremost force in evolution. It states that biological traits which increase survival will become more frequent in each subsequent generation. It is the most prominent force in evolution because members of a population that inherit these traits live longer, and produce more offspring. Another force of evolution is mutation, the only cause of new genetic material. A mutation is…

A gene is the fundamental unit of heredity. Genes determine the genotype and phenotype of living entities. Compared to the past, genetic research has advanced a great deal. For many centuries, it was believed that God had created the human species; however, due to the researches and experiments done by scientists like Hippocrates, Aristotle, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel… it is now accepted that the true force behind evolution, is the adaptation of the genetic code to the environment. As the…

and female and certain genes are inherited depending on what the parents are carriers of. It is understood that a gene carrier inherits one copy of an intact, dominate gene and one copy of a mutated gene and does not have the trait itself. If both parents have chromosomes that are carriers of a specific gene then the offspring will inherit the trait. ‘We believe that a dominate male African Ape and a female African Ape from an opposing tribe were both carriers of the single gene and therefore…

human body needs tyrosine, a type of amino acid, to form neurotransmitters like epinephrine or dopamine. To produce this the body uses the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase to develop into the tyrosine your body needs. When the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene has a deformity, Phenylketonuria is created. This deformity causes the body to not be able to break down the phenylalanine, creating the buildup. Symptoms of PKU can include the following: seizures, tremors, stunted growth, hyperactivity,…

distributions in the control and case groups were compared by the Pearson chi-squared test. In each group the allele distribution was checked for deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium using an exact test. The haplotypic association between the genes was constructed with the help of SNP version 2.0 software .Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS software, version 12. Results were considered statistically significant when the probability of findings occurring by chance was less than…
