DNA says of how the genes are pass or passed on‚ and what the human or animal body does with that information. Example of genetics let just say‚ if you can cross a red flower and a white flower‚ it’ll make pink flowers. The red would be BB and the white would be bb. Suppose pink is Bb‚ so it would be the only one color its offspring would have. An incomplete dominance example is that the offspring would be red and have blotches of white on it. Other example like the dominant gene is actually to have

disability‚ behavioral and learning challenges‚ and various physical characteristics. FXS is caused by changes in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene. The FMR1 gene makes a protein called fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). FMRP is needed for normal brain development. People who do not produce this protein have FXS. The FMR1 gene is located on the X chromosome; we all have 46 chromosomes in all of our cells. Out of 46 chromosomes‚ 44 chromosomes are numbered 1-22 in pairs. Females

oncolytic effects. Oncolytic adenoviruses present a recent approach to achieve virus induced cell lysis in cancer cells but not in other healthy cells. The first presented oncolytic virus ONYX-15 consisted of an Adenovirus that was deleted in its 55kDa gene for E1B. E1B was believed to be involved in degradation of p53. Therefore ONYX-15 would only be replicated by cells with impaired p53-function. Most human cancers include mutations in p53 or its downstream players. Unfortunately ONYX-15 was slightly

proximate explanations are described by its anatomy‚ physiology‚ and biochemistry. Evolutionary explanations go into detail on what would happen if we didn’t have the genes that cause us to get sick. Proximate causes look for what genes it is made up of and how it works. Evolutionary causes are why natural selection hasn’t eliminated the genes that cause us harm. For example the author uses the example of how with proximate causes our taste buds detects saltiness‚ sweetness‚ sourness‚ and bitterness then

Module 11 A. Behavior Genetics Chromosomes containing DNA are situated in the nucleus of the cell Segments within DNA consist of genes that make proteins to determine our development Genome is the set of complete instructions for making an organism‚ containing all the genes in that organism. Thus‚ the human genome makes us human‚ and the genome for drosophila makes it a common housefly.

“Novel Gene Discovery Could Lead To New HIV Treatments” The 4 W’s Who: A team of researchers led by Kings College London What: This article is about the discovery of a new gene which may be able to prevent HIV. When: September 20th is when the article is posted but this probably took course over an extended period of time. Where: This again does not say a specific area. Summary of Article A team of researchers have discovered a new gene that may prevent HIV. Researchers say this gene

Which of the following is most likely to occur when a tumor-suppressor gene is mutated? - The tumor-suppressor gene and resulting protein may lose its function and ability to suppress cell proliferation. Mutations can produce a polypeptide with increased function. - TRUE ________can convert proto-oncogenes into oncogenes. - Nonsense mutations Most human embryos that are aneuploidy - are spontaneously aborted in the first trimester. Horses and donkeys are closely related species that can

Gregor Mendel drew from his experiments with pea plants? A) There is considerable genetic variation in garden peas. B) Traits are inherited in discrete units‚ and are not the results of "blending." C) Recessive genes occur more frequently in the F1 generation than do dominant ones. D) Genes are composed of DNA. E) An organism that is homozygous for many recessive traits is at a disadvantage. 2) How many unique gametes could be produced through independent assortment by an individual with the
