    Protein Synthesis Notes If DNA’s shape is altered it can’t function properly. RNA is more flexible so changing the shape changes the function‚ which is wanted. Any shape of RNA can become another. Three shapes/functions of RNA: -mRNA: messenger (linear_____) -rRNA: ribosomal (large and like a globe) More stable than mRNA. -tRNA: transfer (shaped like t) If you flatten this it becomes mRNA. Hydrogen Bonds ………………………………. Protein Synthesis Overview- Two Processes: Transcription- synthesis of

    Protein Synthesis Worksheet 1. 2. a. Protein synthesis began in the nucleus. b. Chromatin is a diffuse mass located in the nucleus where genetic material is found. c. A gene is a sequence of nucleotides‚ it is important because they form the template and these templates are used for synthesizing proteins. 3. a. Transcription is the first step of protein synthesis it uses a sequence of DNA nucleotides to produce a sequence of RNA nucleotide. b. RNA polymerase bonds to RNA nucleotides together

    Introduction DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) is a nucleic acid that has many names‚ each representing the phases that it undergoes (chromosomes‚ chromatin‚ genes/alleles); it resides in the nucleus (bound by 2 *phospholipid bilayers) of almost every cell in the body (red blood cells being an exception). DNA (your genotype) is double stranded and is responsible for replicating (from 46 to 92) during Interphase‚ so that mitosis can make new cells‚ repairing and allowing for growth in the body. It is

    The evolutionary perspective on relationships‚ while one of the most thought provoking and interesting‚ is also one of the more criticized perspectives in the field of relationship psychology. The father of evolutionary psychology‚ Charles Darwin‚ foresaw the importance of the evolutionary perspective but could have not predicted all of the faultfinding that would also be attached to this theory. In relation to relationships‚ the evolutionary theory revolves around the ability of men and women to

    Biology 110 March 2‚ 2015 DNA Lab BACKGROUND In this laboratory experiment‚ students were introduced to DNA electrophoresis. DNA electrophoresis is an instrument that many forensic scientists use to get a DNA fingerprint as an evidence for crimes. Not only can it be used for forensic science‚ people can use this for paternity test‚ as well as look for evolutionary relationships among organisms. Agarose is used to make the gel that the DNA fragments are going into. Since DNA particles are negatively

    The evolutionary paradigm covers different theories of evolution. Some theories can be applied to modern times and others may seem a little outdated or more relevant to the animal kingdom rather than to humans. I believe that individuals are unique‚ some theories may apply to individuals in different ways‚ and other theories may not apply at all. It all depends on the individual. Darwin’s theory of evolution covers different ideas or theories explaining human behavior. One belief of Darwin’s that

    of Muscle Proteins to Infer Evolutionary Relationships of Mammals‚ Fish and Birds Abstract This experiment used electrophoresis to examine the makeup of muscle proteins from two mammals (cow‚ Bos taurus; bear‚ Ursus americanus)‚ two aves (chicken‚ Gallus gallus; turkey‚ Meleagris gallopavo)‚ and two fish (King Salmon‚ Oncorhynchus tshawytscha;  Albacore Tuna‚ Scombridae unclassified). The hypothesis was that as species have diverged evolutionarily‚ the makeup of their muscle proteins has also
