    Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

    DNA is a self-replicating material that is in almost all living organisms as the main part of chromosomes. Ribonucleic acid or RNA is a nucleic acid that is in all living cells. Its main role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins. A mutation is a part of your genetic code that is changed. So your genetic code is made up of sections called codons and each codon is made up of three nucleotides. A genetic code is like a sentence. The mad cat ate the fat rat and the big bat. So this sentence would be your genetic code it all makes sense and isn't messed up anywhere. But let's say the mutation in frame error occurs which means that a section of the sentence is deleted but still makes sense. The mad cat ate the big bat. Without of frame errors it's not the codons or ‘words’ that get deleted it's the nucleotides or letters. The mad cat ate the tra tan dth ebi gba t. So now the sentence is intelligible and doesn't make any sense since the mutation took away fa from fat so the codons all mix and squish together to fill that gap. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a defective gene that produces dystrophin. it sometimes occurs in people without a family history of Duchenne. Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to make four cells that only have half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells; sperm in males, eggs in females.…

    Savannah Hypothesis Essay

    The discovery of transposons, also known as “jumping genes” demonstrate how mutations may not be random because these genes that “jump” insert themselves into active genes to adapt and change to the environment. Whole sequences of DNA would move into active genes and they were not completely random because some genes would move to a certain part of the genome multiple times to have an advantageous effect. It is as if these genes deliberately wanted to be mutated in order to survive and adapt. These active genes cut and insert themselves in new parts of the genome due to their need of survival. This was seen in one line of fruit flies as, a gene jumped, making the fruit flies have the ability to withstand starvation and have a higher survival…

    Survival Of The Sickest Analysis

    The potential for evolution begins when a mutation occurs during the reproductive process of a given organism. In most cases, that mutation will have a harmful effect or no effect at all, but sometimes, a random mutation will give it’s carrier an advantage, giving it a better chance to survive, and reproduce. That’s when natural selection comes in; the mutation will spread throughout the population and be passed down through generations and generations. Continued on Next…

    Lastly Leigh Syndrome Case Study

    Mutations can occur for a plethora of reasons. They also can occur by 2 special ways. Exogenous or Endogenous. Exogenous factors that can mutate a gene would include but not limited to environmental factors and radiation. As for endogenous errors during DNA replication can cause a genetic change (aka mutation). Last but not certainly limited to Leigh Syndrome. This specific disorder is a neurological disorder sadly. This condition is characterized by progressive loss of mental and movement abilities (psychomotor regression) and typically results in death within a couple of years, usually due to respiratory failure (Genetics Home Reference, 2015) Leigh syndrome can be caused from specifically 1 out of the staggering number of 30 different genes. The mutated organelle of the mitochondrial DNA (the powerhouse of the cell). Sadly the result of having the disorder is mostly fatal and is found to result early within life by approximately the age of two. Only rare case it can go on to…

    The Pros And Cons Of Human Genome

    The human genome is a very complex and delicate thing within this world. Somehow humans have been reproducing this genome for thousands of years; however, sometimes it does not come out perfect every time. This is where genetic control comes into play and I believe the main concern for this area of genetics is hard to truly know if it is doing more good than harm.…

    Genetic Variation May Occur In A Population

    Genetic Variation are the differences within individuals in a population. They are what make us genetically different from one another. Genetic variation occur because of mutations in our DNA and recombination. There are multiple types of mutation such as point mutations or chromosome mutations. Point mutations are the most common where only a single DNA nucleotide is affected. Within point mutations are frameshift and substitution. Frameshift mutations are when a base is either added or deleted. The ribosome that reads the DNA, reads every base 3 bases at a time. If a base is added, there will be a left over base. If a base is deleted, there will be two left over bases that will not be read. There is also substitution which is when one base is switched for another sometimes it has not affect since that same base might also code for the same codon. Other times, the base will have an affect on the amino acids as it is ended earlier that intended. Another reason for mutations is recombination. Recombination is the process of re-combining things. Recombination happens sexual reproduction and during meiosis. Mutations that happen during sexual reproduction is random fertilization. It is when any sperm and egg meet randomly during fertilization. Recombination also happens during sperm and egg production or meiois. Mutations also occur during meiosis. Meiosis is what makes the gametes or the sperm and egg.…

The legacy of generations of ancestors, our genes carry the key to our similarities and our uniqueness. When genes are working properly, our bodies develop and function smoothly. But should a single gene or even a tiny segment of a single gene go askew, the consequences can lead to deformities and disease, even death.…

    Organisms Of Evolution

    Mutations are ‘accidental’ changes that happen randomly in our DNA. This usually occurs during DNA replication when a cell is splitting itself into two daughter cells. Most mutations have neutral effects, however there are mutations that affect organisms. Negative mutations may make organisms more susceptible to diseases and disorders which in turn can make an organism's survivability chance decrease. Positive mutations on the other hand, can lead to more successful reproductive and adaptability of an organism in its environment. Germline mutations can be the most beneficial because they will be passed onto offspring. Viruses are prone to evolutionary changes as well. Even more than we are. A viruses RNA-polymerase error rate is 1000 higher than that of the human's…

    Mutations Abstract

    What do you think about when you hear the word mutant? You probably think about a big, alien-type monster with many horrendous attachments, or those teenage, crime-fighting turtles. The truth is, everyone is a mutant. Our bodies all contain mutations. They are what make humans so diverse in terms of attributes. Mutations are changes, or mistakes, in our genetic code, or DNA. These changes are normal, and although some mutations can be harmful, or even beneficial, most do not affect bodily functions at all. But how do these mutations form and where do they come from?…

Abnormalities can range from small mutations in a single gene to the addition of an entire set of chromosomes.…
