obtained 0% survival rate and the lowest germination rate (70%). Thus‚ irradiation of 10 kr induces mutation to the corn which will give the highest survival rate and germination of the seed while doses of radiation higher than 10 kr will inhibit its growth and decrease germination. Generally‚ irradiation has a negative effect on the growth and germination of the corn plant. INTRODUCTION Mutations occur when there is a change in the sequencing of nucleotides in the DNA of an individual that results

the bacteria itself and has gone into mutations therefore causing evolution. In the twentieth century there has been many medical breakthroughs. One of those remarkable breakthroughs was Fleming’s discovery of the antibiotic penicillin. That antibiotic had the ability to fight off bacterial diseases and infections through microbial antibacterial chemicals. Through a couple of years the bacteria grew resistant to the penicillin. That was due to gene mutation such as involving genes‚ which encodes

ABSTRACT Mutation was induced via a physical agent‚ radiation. 4 levels of radiation—0 kr (control)‚ 10 kr‚ 30 kr‚ and 50 kr—were used in seeds to determine the radiation effects on the growth of Zea mays. Using two duplicate set-ups‚ each‚ planted with 18 seeds per radiation‚ the differences in height were observed from January 29 to March 17 in a 1 to 2-day interval (Mondays-Wednesdays-Fridays). Results show that as radiation increases‚ the potential of plants to grow decreases—0 kr seeds reached

will be more common in the next generation than those of its less ‘fit’ relatives. This process is called natural selection. Natural selection is a critical aspect of the evolutionary process. The reason for diversity is mutation. Mutations are random alterations in our genes‚ Mutations can be minor‚ like a slightly longer neck‚ or they can be obvious‚ like

Evolution Generally‚ evolution is any process of change over time. In the context of life science‚ evolution is a change in the traits of living organisms over generations‚ including the emergence of new species. Since the development of modern genetics in the 1940s‚ evolution has been defined more specifically as a change in the frequency of alleles in a population from one generation to the next. Darwin ’s theory of evolution describes the descent of all living organisms from a common ancestor

The chromosomal region 15q11-13 (base pairs 23‚133‚488-23‚235‚220)‚ contains the gene UBE3A. However in brain‚ UBE3A is expressed differently due to epigenetic imprinting‚ the mechanism for which is DNA methylation. The maternal allele is expressed and the paternal imprinted. Therefore any defect in the maternal allele‚ caused
