Lucas Lindsey Mr. Mazhawidza Mircobes to Society 118 Gene Expression [pic] By definition of dictionary.com gene is defined as the basic physical unit of heredity. a gene is a linear sequence of nucleotides that makes part of a segment called DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains genetic codes in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. DNA provides a a linear sequence of nucleotides along a segment of DNA that provides very important

Monoamine Oxidase‚ or better known as “The Warrior Gene” and abuse. In this paper I will explain what the Warrior Gene is‚ how physical and emotional abuse affects it‚ and what it means for our Criminal Justice System today. So what is Monoamine Oxidase? Monoamine Oxidase breaks down important neurotransmitters that happen in our brain. Some of these neurotransmitters include serotonin‚ dopamine‚ and norepinephrine.

alteration of a genomic sequence. It may be divided into two categories: 1) Point/ Gene Mutation 2) Chromosomal Mutation Mutations may either be advantageous or disadvantageous and are not all inherently negative Point/ Gene Mutation They occur at a single locus on a chromosome. It results in a change to the nucleotides on DNA molecules whether they are replaced‚ shifted or a new one/set is added. Gene mutations may be divided into the following categories: 1) Duplication 2) Addition

Genes Review 1) Selective breeding – chosen based on what can be seen and detected (favourable phenotype) Genetic engineering – selected based on genes 2) - DNA are found in nucleus (where most DNA are found)‚ mitochondria‚ chloroplast 3) - Translation requires ribosome‚ mRNA‚ tRNA (anticodon) and amino acids - DNA template‚ polymerase for transcription 4) Mitosis generates daughter cells that are identical Meiosis – homologous recombination 5) DNA coding sequence: 5` GGGCCCTTTAAA

The Future Evolution of Human: Gene Splicing Gene Splicing: Survival of the Fittest Long ago stories‚ legends‚ and myths were created describing humans who were infused with the body parts of animal. Creatures such as mermaids‚ centaurs‚ and Satyrs were placed into our minds and we could only imagine what it would be like to meet these creatures. They became so numerous that they were given a category‚ Anthropomorphism. Over time and with our knowledge of science increasing‚ body parts that

WHAT IS GENE THERAPY? Gene therapy is the transfer of recombinant DNA into an individual’s body cells‚ with the intent to correct a genetic defect or treat a disease. The transfer occurs by the way of lipid clusters or genetically engineered viruses‚ inserts an unmutated gene into an individual’s chromosomes. It is basically a method for fixing defective genes that cause diseases. As Starr‚ Evers & Starr (2013) stated‚ there are over 15‚000 serious genetic disorders in the world. Most of

GENE MUTATION‚TYPES OF MUTATIONS 1. Gene Mutation A Gene Mutation is defined as an alternation in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA. It can affect a single nucleotide pair or larger gene segments of a chromosome. Mutations cause changes in the genetic code which lead to genetic variation and the potential to develop disease. What causes Gene Mutation? → Gene mutations are most commonly caused as a result of two types of occurrences. 1. Environmental factors Ex) chemicals‚ radiation

Gene Cloning Clone: A group of identical cells or organisms To clone a gene: 1) Insert the gene into a vector that can carry the into a host cell 2) Ensure that it will replicate there 3) Insertion is carried out by cutting the vector and the DNA to be inserted with the same restriction endonuclease to ensure that both have the same "sticky ends" Vector for cloning the bacteria come from two major types: (1) Plasmids‚ and (2) Phages Recombinant DNA Technology A) It was developed in

Describing theories TASK 1(P1) Introduction The theory I have chosen to discuss is the theory of inheritance‚ which is attributed largely to Gregor Mendel who lived from 1822 to 1884 and was considered to be a mathematical scientist who introduced the science of genetics. Observation During the period of 1858 to 1866‚ Mendel observed the different characteristics that where inherited by living creatures. He done this by breading garden peas in his monastery garden and analyzing the offspring
