What would be the effect of a deletion or an addition in one of the DNA nucleotides? What would be the effects of a substitution in one of the nucleotides? 2. Describe the operon hypothesis and discuss how it explains the control of messenger RNA production and the regulation of protein synthesis in bacterial cells. 3. Scientists seeking to determine which molecule is responsible for the transmission of characteristics from one generation to the next knew that the molecule must (1)

Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. ➢ DNA is a nucleic acid‚ which consist of long chains (polymers) of chemical units (monomers) called nucleotide. A molecule of DNA contains two polynucleotides‚ each a chain of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base‚ a sugar‚ and a phosphate group. Each DNA strand serves as a mold‚ or template‚ to guide reproduction of the other strand. There are four different types of nucleotides found in DNA

nucleotides into DNA molecules is d. DNA polymerase 7. The process by which the genetic code of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA is called b. transcription 8. In messenger RNA‚ each codon specifies a particular c. amino acid 9. Changes in the DNA sequence that affect genetic information are known as b. mutations 10. An expressed gene is one that b. is transcribed into RNA 11. As scientists tried to discover the nature of genes‚ what three critical gene functions had they identified?

Food security‚ which is the state of having consistent access to an adequate amount of affordable and nutritious food‚ is seen by many as a problem in Africa. Solutions that have been recognised include; redoubling global investments in agricultural science‚ reducing waste of half the food we produce‚ refashioning the world diet etc. However in this essay the genetic modification of products is the solution that will be discussed. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) are plants or animals that

Study Guide 3/1/11 1. Describe the three parts of a nucleotide and how they bond to form a nucleotide. The three parts of a necleotide are a carbon sugar‚ a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The carbon sugars bond to the phosphate groups by covalent bonds while the nitrogenous base bonds with it’s compliment by hydrogen bonds. 2. Summarize the role of covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds in the structure of DNA. The role of covalent

and computer Sciences‚ De La Salle University-Dasmarinas ABSTRACT: The central dogma of biology holds that genetic information normally flows from DNA to RNA to protein. In the experiment‚ DNA and RNA bead kits were used. Different coloured beads correspond to different nitrogenous bases‚ sugars and phosphates. Different structures of DNA and RNA were formed based on the sequences that were given. INTRODUCTION: DNA contains the complete genetic information that defines the structure and function

Chloroplast → (in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. Chromatin → the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria (i.e.‚ eukaryotes) are composed. It consists of protein‚ RNA‚ and DNA. Chromosome → a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells‚ carrying genetic information in the form of genes. Cristae → The infoldings or inward projections of the inner membrane of the
