Document Summary

Gene: a sequence of dna that encodes a protein. Dna is double stranded while rna is single stranded. Translaion: mrna -> protein trna (transfer rna) transfers amino acid to mrna. A set of 3 nucleoides on mrna encode 1 amino acid. Ribosomes bring the trna-amino acid complex to the correct spot of the mrna and join the amino acids by a covalent bond. Gene expression means that the gene is transcribed and then translated to produce protein. A set of 3 nucleoides encodes 1 amino acid. Geneic code: each codon speciies one amino acid. Translaion starts at aug and stops at uaa, uag or uga. Is redundant: muliple codons for same amino acids. Is universal: all organisms use the same codes to produce the same protein. A promoter region determines when and where transcripion occurs. Mutaions - changes in geneic sequence (produce an allele)

Question 19 options:

	only the first 900 nucleotides of the pre-mRNA transcript are translated
	it takes 100 nucleotides to specify a single amino acid

	large portions of pre-mRNA transcripts are cut out during RNA processing

Suppose an individual is born into a population with a novel mutation. Is the new mutation an evolutionary change, and why?

	yes, because new mutations are always adaptive
	yes, because the appearance of a new genetic variant is a genetic change in a population
	no, because not enough individuals have the mutation for it to matter
	no, because most mutations are not adaptive
