Introduction The scientific study of Huntington’s Disease (HD) had began in 1872, by George Huntington who is a family physician that had published a report on the clinical symptoms and peculiar mode of inheritance of the disorder.(1, 2) Huntington’s disease has 3 subtypes according to the age onset, which are infantile, juvenile and the adult-onset.(2) Individuals with Huntington’s disease can become asymptomatic between the ages of 1 and 80 years.(3) The typical mean age of onset is 40 years,…

We determined that the UV light treatment was the most potent treatment of mutagenesis and also the most effective in inducing mutations, followed by the Tn5 and the EMS was the least potent and effective treatment. Introduction A culture of E.coli K12, KL14 was used to carry out the experiment on. The advantage of using E.coli cells to experiment on is that they are haploid organisms and contain a single set of chromosomes so if a mutation was to occur, the bacterial cell will express it as…

in history. Scientific Foundation of DNA Profiling The DNA (also known as Deoxyribonucleic acid) in cells is formed of two long strands that wrap around each other. There are four different types of bases in DNA, A (adenine), C (cytosine), G (guanine), T (thymine). These bases join together, A with T and U with G, to form a structure that looks like the twisted steps of a…

BSC1010L SectionU42 The effect of Control Plasmid and Plasmid Lux in Bacterial Transformation Vanessa Louis PID: 4709178 Lab Partners: Patrick Abaunza Raquel Alespeiti Robert Lugo Date Performed: 31 October 2014 TA: Reinier Llorca Abstract According to The General Biology I Lab manual, involved in Gene expression are two complex cellular pathways, each being subjected to regulation (Alberte et al., 2012). The first pathway is the synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA strand.…

each species unique is a code often referred to as Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. In every cell in an organism DNA can be found in the cell’s nucleus. mRNA a replication of DNA leaves the cell’s nucleus and journeys to the mitochondria. Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T) are the four coded chemical bases that the DNA uses to store information. Three of these bases code for a triplet of a codon. DNA’s four chemical bases each have a pair; A with T and C with G. Each base pair…

It is also conceivable that, at lower pH, depurination can occur via protonation of the purine nucleobase at both N1 and N7. The presence of the 2′-OH has a significant effect on the nucleoside’s susceptibility to depurination. For example, guanosine and adenosine are more resistant to depurination compared to deoxyadenosine and deoxyguanosine. Deoxyadenosine itself depurinates 1200 times faster than adenosine (York, 1981). Interestingly, N-acyl-protected purine nucleosides (particularly…

What are the nonpolar parts of a phospholipid? c. Tail group 4. This is the only polar portion of a cholesterol molecule and it forms hydrogen bonds with the polar heads of phospholipids. d. –OH group 5. This type of membrane protein will extend throughout the entire membrane touching both the Intracellular fluid and the Extracellular fluid. e. Integral proteins f. Transmembrane proteins g. Integral proteins and Transmembrane proteins Ans: D…

The Voice behind Animals on Testing In today’s world, we continuously come in contact with problems that can become controversial. One problem that has been predominantly occurring in our nation is Animal Testing or Experimentation. This epidemic has grown drastically over the years and continues to bring about disputes day to day. Familiar house hold items are part taking in this epidemic and the average, everyday person does not realize that by buying these products we are constantly adding…

Imagine a world where life threatening diseases are a thing of the past, where child are born without birth defects or serious illness. Imagine a world where parents could choose what their child looks like, or make sure their child is not susceptible to drug addictions, alcoholism, depression or violence. Imagine a world where parents could make their children genius or amazing athletes. Does this idea scare you or make you excited? Through the use of genetic engineering this imagined world…

Importance of Microbes Introduction It was long ago when Man realized that, along with animals and plants, he was also accompanied by some other organisms as well, and though which remained hidden from his eyes. Those organisms were unveiled by Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, who first saw the tiny organisms which accompanied Man through the lenses of microscope. Later it was found out that microorganisms inhabited each and every surface of earth, on man himself, or even inside him, resided under the…
