BIOL 115 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Ribosomal Rna, Nitrogenous Base, Methionine
Document Summary
Each nucleotide composed of deoxyribose, phosphate, and nitrogenous base. Nucloetidues comprised of ribose, phosphate, and nitrogenous base. 4 bases: a, c, g and u (uracil) A gene is a sequence of dna that contains information to make a protein. There are other parts of dna that control how those genes are turned on and turned off. Other parts of dna act as spacers that make sure that when you go through the process of protein production, you are not going to have basically this process produci(cid:374)g (cid:449)eird protei(cid:374)s that you do(cid:374)"t want. A gene is a minimal unit of expression. The largest gene in the human genome is dystrophin, which is part of your muscle. More and more, when we start talking about stem cell and development, we learn that 3d organization inside your genome is important is affected by lifestyle, egender, and bunch of toher things. A messenger rna (mrna) extracts this information and delivers it to a ribosome.
