Myotonic Dystrophy Different Types of Treatments Being Tested Today Myotonic Dystrophy: Treatments Being Studied Today As a child growing up I didn’t understand why my uncle was always confined to a wheelchair. I didn’t know why he would sip his drinks through a straw instead of picking up the glass. But now‚ I know my uncle suffers from Myotonic dystrophy‚ a muscular dystrophy that affects the person’s muscles‚ and other body systems (Learning About Myotonic Dystrophy‚ 1). Now

pairing. For example‚ in transcription‚ when a cell uses the information in a gene‚ the DNA sequence is copied into a complementary RNA sequence through the attraction between the DNA and the correct RNA nucleotides. Usually‚ this RNA copy is then used to make a matching protein sequence in a process called translation‚ which depends on the same interaction between RNA

Genetic transformation of Escherichia coli with pGLO (Adapted from: Biotechnology Explorer: Bacterial Transformation: The pGLO System. Instructors Guide. BIO-RAD). Objectives a. To understand one of the most commonly used techniques for introducing DNA into E. coli cells and its use in molecular cloning. b. To become familiar with the concept of using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a molecular tag for studying gene expression in bacteria and other organisms.

causes the brain to function differently(MedBroadcast‚2017). Rhabdovirus‚ single stranded RNA viruses‚ is the causative agent for rabies. The rabies virus is enveloped‚ it is covered/surrounded by a covering for protection. The rhabdovirus contains up of a helical ribonucleoprotein core(RNP)‚ and an envelope that is surrounding the viru (CDC‚2011). Eukaryotes have a synthesis process between protein and RNA that forms the ribonucleoprotein. The rabies genome has five protein components: nucleoprotein

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

DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA. DNA replication during mitosis is the basis for biological inheritance. The process of DNA replication starts when one double-stranded DNA molecule produces two identical copies of the molecule. Each strand of the original double-stranded DNA molecule serves as template for the production of the complementary strand‚ a process referred to as semiconservative replication. Cellular proofreading and error-checking

relates to the hypotheses of life on earth by showing life originated from a single ancestor‚ the genetic code has more or less remained consistent. Life is a molecule that can rebuild itself‚ RNA-polymerase consists mostly of RNA. These fact tell that a world must have existed once‚ where proteins was also taken RNA molecules. The similarities of different species the scientists cut the DNA of the species into small-segments to separate the strands and mix the DNA together. When the DNA between the 2
