Document Summary

Permissive conditions are those under which a mutation is silenced. Eg: in temperature sensitive mutations, at low temperature (permissive conditions), the mutation will be almost silent and the organism will be able to survive. On the other hand, at higher temperatures, the organism will fail to survive due to loss of function: define (or compare and contrast): a) gene expression; transcription; replication; translation; b) gene; allele. The process of forming multiple copies of dna by semi- conservative replication. The process of formation of protein from mrna. a) Dna is made into a functional gene product (protein or mrna) Dna replication, transcription, post- transcriptional modifications, translation and post- translational modifications. Occurs in the s phase of the cell cycle. Occurs in all phases of the cell cycle: gene: the sequence of nucleotides that code for a particular protein or rna. So in other words, it"s the entire dna sequence required for production of a functional protein or rna.
