Ribosomal RNA

In this summary response I will be talking about cloning in Brave New World and compare it too gene editing. In Brave New World the have a process called Bokanovsky’s Process which essentially is the fictional process for cloning humans. The human eggs in the story are put in to in vitro which means outside their normal biological habitat. In this world where the government controls everything it’s extremely important for them to control the number of humans. The process does not apply to the…

Pacific Biosciences is the manufacturer that develops comprehensive solution for the used if scientist that stimulate the field of genomics. They also stimulate the field of genomics, improve in science and its research and create positive impact through globally. PacBio also contribute in resolving complex genetic challenges by revolutionized the methods. PacBio tried to develop a new novel technology that is able to push the boundaries of the sequencing in order to overcome the challenges in…

foreign material. When a never-before-seen virus attacks the cell, a spacer is created within the CRISPR system that stores the genetic material of said virus. If that virus or a similar one attacks again, the CRISPR DNA sequence is transcribed into RNA, where proteins are used to target sequences containing the offending material in order to destroy each genome affected by the virus and…

Sequence 2 had the protein, presenilin-2-like, Equus przewalskii . The protein is also known as PSEN2 gene. This gene helps process proteins that transmit chemical signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus. When the chemical signals fire to the nucleus, they turn on genes that make for the cell to grow and mature. The specific role, presenilin is known for, is processing the amyloid precursor protein. The amyloid precursor protein is found in the brain and some tissues. Presenilin gets…

Biochemistry is the “structure and function” within living organisms through chemical processes (Revier). Being able to master the subject is a driven force that grasped my attention to continue pursuing my academics through this major. My interest for the subject grew as I conducted further research to determine the benefits of having a degree in biochemistry and how it would aid me in the long runs by having a successful future. Simultaneously, I enrolled in an Introduction to Biochemistry…

In modern molecular biology and genetics, the genome is the genetic material of an organism. It consists of DNA (or RNA in RNA viruses). The genome includes both the genes and the non-coding sequences of the DNA/RNA. Understanding Human Genetic Variation Genetics is the scientific study of inherited variation. Human genetics, then, is the scientific study of inherited human variation. We study genetic material due to following reasons; 1. One reason is simply an interest in better understanding…

Prokaryote DNA replication is a semi conservative, bidirectional, template driven process. The phrase ‘semi-conservative’ refers to the fact that the newly synthesised double stranded DNA is made up of one parental (existing) strand, and one newly synthesised strand. The parental duplex is not ‘conserved’ as an entity. This was proved by the Meselson-Stahl experiment by replicating E.Coli in different mediums of of different Nitrogen isotopes. The results consisted of half of normal weight and…

with the ATG codon. Most biological activities are carried out by proteins. In order to have the DNA sequence that reads ATG-ACT-CAT-GAG-TGA to be translated into the RNA to build a protein there has to be proteins that are not the same to be able to perform this function. The DNA also needs to be changed into the RNA and the RNA has to be changed into a protein. In order for the cell to have a proper function the proteins that are necessary need to at the time that is proper be synthesized.…

Between 2004-2014, carbon dioxide emissions increased at a shocking average rate of 2.5% annually.1 These carbon emissions come from a variety of sources such as homes, food production, and vehicle exhaust.2 The excess carbon in the atmosphere not only contributes to the greenhouse gas effect causing global temperatures to rise, but also has destructive effects on the environment such as extreme droughts, lowered biodiversity, and food source instability.3,4 In 2009, world leaders met in…

DNA makes proteins. DNA is stored in the nucleus and contains phosphates (a phosphate includes nitrogen bases). DNA is made up of these phosphates, but, in making polypeptides, or a protein, the nitrogen bases are the most important in his process. To make a polypeptide, the helicase unzips the double helix figure, making two rows, or strands, which are one side of all of the nitrogen bases. Floating nitrogen bases string the opposite of these sides, to make an original copy, but leave, ending…
