Document Summary

How information in dna is transcribed into protein. Thymine (replaced with uracil in rna which is only different to thymine by a methyl group) Guanine: (cid:498)how are genes copied from cell to cell, and parent to offspring? (cid:499) Dna has 4 nucelotides: too simple to encode proteins. Proteins contain 20 amino acids and make diverse and complex materials: hair, skin, enzymes etc. Protein likely to be hereditary: watson and crick discovered the physical structure (double helix) and chemical composition of dna, chargaff"s rule of base composition: Amount of a = amount of t. Amount of g = amount of c. The sum of purines (a+g) = the sum of pyrimidines (c+t) % of (g+c) will not equal % of (a+t) (a+t doesn"t necessarily equal c+g) G-c content increases stability of the molecule1 because: Info was used by watson & crick to model the structure of.

You obtain the DNA methylation status of five genes of interest (the data are shown in the table below). The plus (+) sign indicates the level of DNA methylation; more plus signs correlates with increased methylation levels.Based on this information which genes would you predict to have the highest rate of transcription?
