RNA polymerase

Molecules and cells are the building blocks of development. The cells in our body performs different functions, which makes development possible. DNA contains instructions needed to tell cells what to do. RNA transfers the instructions to make proteins, which acts as receptors of signals in the brain. If RNA translates the wrong instruction from DNA, PKU could be the result, and children could become intellectually disabled. This all shows that biology is clearly a big role for human…

the nucleus of a cell origin and its significance is the beginning or the core that shape our lives. “Like the stone in a cherry, it is found in the center of the cell, and like this stone keeps its precious kernel in a shell” (p. 404). What Role of RNA and DNA in future life events?…

THE ROLE OF ELONGATION FACTORS IN GENE TRANSLATION AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS. Professor Kinzy’s lab seeks to investigate the structure and function of G- protein in relation to it’s regulation and the post transcriptional processes associated with gene expression. The lab uses Translation Elongation apparatus found in yeast to investigate these processes. The components of these elongation factors are important targets for antibacterial and antifungal drugs such that improper expressions and…

Kary Mullis was born December 28, 1944. Mullis worked as a DNA chemist for 7 years, He also invented the polymerase chain reaction. Kary Mullis was born in Lenoir, North Carolina. Mullis is 71 years old, He’s also been married 3 times. He wrote a quote stating “Art is subject to arbitrary fashion”. Kary Mullis accomplishments were very overall. His invention of the polymerase chain reaction chain reaction helps specific segment of DNA results quickly and accurately. Methods obtaining a…

The title of the video, “Ghost in your Genes”, is very appropriately titled because it discussed the various appearances of phenotypic differences among organisms with identical genomes. In the mid to late 1900s, scientists were convinced that DNA sequences were solely responsible for every trait evident in organisms. After the human genome experiment, which involved compiling and analyzing genomes of thousands of different people, it was determined that humans have around 25,000 genes, far…

Caulobacter Crescentus is a dimorphic, α-proteobacterium found in oligotrophic environments. Their dimorphic cell cycle produces two morphologically and functionally different daughter cells, known as the stalked cell and the swarmer cell. The stalked cell remains anchored to the substratum and is sessile, while the swarmer cell is motile. Upon chemotaxis, the swarmer cell disperses in search of nutrients. Once sufficient nutrients are located the cell cycle can continue. In the early phases of…

in order to correct genetic disorders. Gene therapy uses a vector, typically a virus to deliver a gene to the cells where it's needed. Once it's inside, the cell's gene reading machinery uses the information in the gene to build RNA and protein molecules. The proteins, RNA can then carry out their job in the cells. Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a…

proteins are the workhorse of the cell, as they make up most tissues and organs of the body. Lipids are the storage areas. They contain the extra energy that the organism does not currently need. Nucleic acids are the parts of cells that include DNA and RNA, which dictate cell replication, and specialization. Every single organic molecule, from carbohydrates to nucleic acids is just as important as the other. All of the molecules play significant roles in allowing the organism to function…

All genes of living organisms are translated into proteins according to a single genetic code. Eighteen out of the twenty amino acids are encoded by multiple codons, called synonymous codons. If the ultimate goal of protein translation is to produce the encoded amino acid, each synonymous codon should be used equally. Interestingly however, biased usage among synonymous codons occurs in organisms like Escherichia coli and yeast. Codon usage bias refers to the fact that some synonymous codons are…

et Assignment 1.2 DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule which carry genetic instruction used in the functioning ,development ,reproduction and growth of all living organism including viruses. DNA are composed of simpler monomer units called nucleotide. They are termed polynucleotide as DNA have two strands. Nucleotides is composed of four nitrogenous base, they are ADENINE(A), THYMINE (T),CYTOSINE(C), and GUANINE (G).””(DNA) DNA bases pair up with each other, A:T and C:G, to form…
