A chromosome is a structure of DNA, protein, and RNA found in cells. It is a single piece of coiled DNA containing many genes, regulatory elements and other nucleotide sequences. Gregor Mendel -An Austrian monk who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the new science of genetics. Genetics -The branch of biology that deals with heredity, especially the mechanisms of hereditary transmission and the variation of inherited characteristics among similar or related

Summary The aim of this practical is to detect the chemical shift of HINT1 if the ligands interact with the protein. HINT1 gene is associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorders, and therefore the binding ligand might be a potential drug target for mental disorders. Through the understanding of interaction increases the identification for drug design. Two ligands, GMP and 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-ribonucleoside (AICAR) are used in the practical. GMP is a well-known binding ligand to HINT1

Double-stranded DNA Orthopoxvirus - OPV are enveloped brick-shaped viruses (350 × 270 nm) containing a double-stranded DNA genome with a size of approximately 200 kb, the ends of which are connected by covalent links - the different OPV species cannot be distinguished by means of electron microscopy - OPV are closely related to each other with regard to antigens and show marked homology at the genome level - The genome of the poxviruses encodes for 150–200 different genes - Unlike other DNA viruses

grouping different organisms to species that made great steps to understanding breeding of species. This knowledge led to discoveries of genetics and genes that make up the different species by Gregor Mendes in 1865. The discovery of the nucleus and DNA sequence by

it was modified? When you hear genetically modified, the first thing I think about is an oversized tomato or a giant pumpkin of some sort. That is the complete opposite because by definition, genetic modification is the manipulation of DNA by humans to alter the essential make up of plants and animals. Genetically modified organism is define as organisms that the genetic material have been altered that did not come naturally, another terminology for this is called modern biotechnology

admit this was a good chapter; I enjoyed reading about the brain. A gene is a distinct portion of a cell’s DNA. Genes are coded instructions for making everything the body needs, especially proteins (Kugler, 2014). Our genes are passed down to us from our parents, having two copies of each gene. Those genes are found in the different strands in our DNA, which is what makes everyone’s DNA is unique. Behavioral genetics examine the role that our genes play in our behavior. The impact of heredity

Biotechnology Biotechnology is the way in which man uses other organisms to make useful products. Yeast has been used for centuries to make beer, wine and bread. Moulds have been employed in cheese making, and bacteria in yogurt making. Single- Cell Protein (SCP) Microorganisms are single cell organisms which can be cultured to rapidly produce foodstuffs rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. Microorganisms are grown in large fermenters where nutrient, pH and temperature are constantly monitored

The Only Home We Have “Home is the place where they have to let you in.” From the beginning of the life on earth, every living creature has felt the sense of belonging. Belonging to some place that makes us safe, comfortable and peaceful. It’s called home, in today’s language. Home is the place where we all born, raised and come back again everytime when we leave. It’s what we need to be able to continue living. Since the life has begun on the earth, nature is the home for all living creatures.

genetic makeup and help in designing effective treatments for diseases. Personalized analysis based on individual genome, may lead to a powerful form of preventative medicine that will be able to learn about risks of future diseases, based on the DNA analysis. Health care professionals like the physicians, doctors, nurses and genetic counselors, will be able to work with patients and focus their energies on things that are likely to maintain health for a person (Lander, 2011, p.190). That may as
