    Evolutionary Thinking

    • 778 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Evolution‚ in its most simple sense‚ is described as change over time. I believe it’s important that we understand how evolutionary thinking is relevant to understanding disease as an agent of natural selection because evolutionary thinking taps into two important fields: biology and medicine. It helps us understand the field of biology because evolution helps explain life; specifically differences‚ changes and developments to adapt. On the other hand‚ it helps us understand the field of medicine

    Review 2: Text DNA is a very special and important molecule that is in our life‚ DNA is found in the nucleus. DNA stores the data needed to make poly peptides‚then data in a nucleic acid is transferred to messenger RNA‚ which escapes the nucleus into a protein. According to the DNA and protein article DNA is used in many things but DNA is used to make pol-peptides. They are another word for proteins. When a cell makes a protein the direction are resembled from the part of an DNA. DNA strand and transcript

    Protein Essay- Erin Keegan What are proteins? A polypeptide is a chain of monomers joined up to make a polymer. Proteins are organic polypeptides made up of a chain of amino acid residues- they’re residues because they lose a water molecule. The amino acids (monomers) join up by forming peptide bonds. When two amino acids join together‚ they become a dipeptide. This happens when the carboxyl group of an amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid link up through a condensation reaction (which

    DNA Assignment Keshia Yeates BIOLOGY 4U 1. DNA molecule with a length of 2m can fit inside a nucleus that is invisible by the naked eye by coiling around itself several times. It continues to coil even more (Supercoiling)‚ arranging itself on histones‚ which are proteins. 2. Nitrogen bases determine the traits of living organisms by coding the 20 amino acids. The order of the amino acids determines what protein is made; therefore‚ proteins are the makeup of all living organisms. Proteins regulate

    DNA‚ or deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA)‚ but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A)‚ guanine (G)‚ cytosine (C)‚ and thymine (T). The order‚ or sequence‚ of

    ions -DNA replication minimizes errors such as the DNA that is duplicated but changes in the DNA do occur‚ producing mutations. Although most mutations are either neutral or harmful they are also the raw material for evolution. Such mutations from alleles‚ alternate forms of a given gene that may produce differences in structure or function such as black‚ brown or blond hair in humans‚ or different mating calls in frogs.
