BIOL3190 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Locus Control Region, Methionine, Dna Replication
Document Summary
Branch of biology that deals with heredity and variation of organisms. Lecture 2: housekeeping genes, does stuff all cells need to do to be cells, rbc, muscle, pancreatic. Insulin: synthesized by pancreatic cells and only expressed in one cell type (pancreatic) but not the. We thi(cid:374)k ge(cid:374)es ulti(cid:373)atel(cid:455) are tra(cid:374)slated i(cid:374)to protei(cid:374)s (cid:894)9(cid:1009)%(cid:895) a(cid:374)d (cid:1009)% is tra(cid:374)slated i(cid:374)to rna that does(cid:374)"t other two (rbc and muscle) code. We have like 20-25k genes and a cell expresses like 2000 genes (roughly 10% of the genetic information is actually used) Storage material for all cells on earth. Dna: made up of nucleotide if there is(cid:374)"t a phosphate, it is (cid:272)alled a (cid:374)u(cid:272)leotide, there"s a (cid:448)ar(cid:455)i(cid:374)g (cid:374)itroge(cid:374)ous (cid:271)ase, sugar base. Figured out the rule: whatever the content of a is, there is the same amount of t, % a and t match, and % c and g match.
