BIOL 1301 Lecture Notes - Lecture 35: Transfer Rna, Arginine, Lysine
Document Summary
How information in dna is transcribed into protein. The normal karyotype and some abnormal karyotypes. Genes are the hereditary factors that cause the phenotypes and traits. Proteins known as the key components of body 20 amino acids known. Dna known to consist of 4 nucleotides but structures are unknown. Thymine (replaced with uracil in rna which is only different to thymine by a methyl group) How are genes copied from cell to cell, and parent to offspring? . How can mutation occur to permit evolution? (in order for tdings to cdange tdeir pdysical nature and to evolve, we need mutation) How do tdey encode information to proteins for making an organism? . Dna has 4 nucelotides: too simple to encode proteins. Proteins contain 20 amino acids and make diverse and complex materials: hair, skin, enzymes etc. Watson and crick discovered the physical structure (double helix) and chemical composition of dna. Amount of a = amount of t.
