Task Two How Genetic information is stored in a sequence of Nitrogenous bases in DNA DNA is the principle molecule responsible for carrying genetic information within almost all living organisms for their development. They also provide some of the apparatus by which the instructions are carried out. This excludes viruses, as they use RNA, to carry their genetic information. (Image 1: DNA molecule, nucleotide, base pairing. Reference: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/422006/DNA-sequencing

Chapter 1: Life Filament of DNA is information and messages are written using chemical where each letter is a chemical. Genetic code is a linear language and has an alphabet of only four letters: A, C, G and T. He also talked about the differences between DNA and RNA. RNA is more chemically active and unstable than DNA. Therefore, prehistoric ribo-organisms came up with DNA through an evolutionary trial. Chapter 2: Species Humans have 23 chromosomes and apes have 24 chromosomes. Human’s chromosome

generations of flies in the test tubes. The flies were red or brown eyed, or red and white eyed. Scientist use fruit flies in genetic studies since the undeniable similarities in genes to humans.Fruit flies have been used for so long by scientists, because the genes that cause disease in fruit flies cause disease in

college we study worms. Reginald read an article about genetics and thought to himself that that was interesting so he decided to become one. A genetics is a person who studies inherited characteristics of an organism. Reginald Punnett got to collaborate with genetics William Bateson. Since, Punnett got to collaborate with a genetics I think that he got a chance to discover that he liked being a genetics that's why he is known as a well known genetics. When Reginald Punnett was in his college years

Fabry Disease is a metabolic disorder characterized by insufficient activity of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (a-GAL A). The most basic result of this enzyme mutation is the accumulation of the glycolipid globotriasosylceramide (GL-3) in the lysosomes of the affected patient’s cells. This, in turn, causes many bodily dysfunctions that generally present themselves in patients around the age of adolescence which include various forms of organ and tissue damage. The gene for a-GAL A is located on

curiosity, innovation, and persistence of James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, and Rosalind Franklin all together led to a detailed and completed understanding of the structure of Deoxyribonucleic acid. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material found in all cells and is the stuff that genes are made out of. Their discoveries would come to answer one of the most impending questions in the science of life. How do living things pass on traits to their children? This is the question

Michaela P. Capulong SC435-02: Genetics November 24, 2015 Unit 3 Final Project Breast Cancer Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer among women and only affect one percent of men. There are multiple risk factors for breast cancer this include genetic abnormalities, unhealthy lifestyle, and environmental. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumor-suppressor genes. The mutation and abnormalities of these genes could increase the people risk of breast cancer and also ovarian cancer. Cancer develops

Epigenetic marks are paving the way for cell research and the health of future generations. These new developments allow us to make changes in our diets and behaviors to positively impact our offspring and our grandchildren. We might also hold the key to preventing cancer, saving lots of lives every year. Epigenetic marks (EM) are in all DNA and play a huge roll in how we act, our health, and our mentality. These EMs lay on the chromatin and affect how the cell reads the DNA. The EMs tell the
