BIOL 1202 : Notes For Exam 1
Document Summary
*the left of the start codon is called the 5 prime un-translated region. *the right of the stop codon is called the 3 prime un-translated region. *everything between the start and stop codon is used to. *one gene can produce a dozen different proteins when it is transcribed in different ways. *if you change one amino acid from its normal type to a different type there is a chance that entire protein will be screwed up . *protein structure is extremely important in determining the function of that protein in a cell. *some mutations are good, some bad, and some make no significant changes. Mutation: any change in the sequence of bases in dna, 3 types, point mutation, insertion mutation, deletion mutation. Thefatcatatetherat (the fat cat ate the rat) still readable. Hefatcatatetherat (hef atc ata tet her at) if a deletion is made every codon after the deletion is changed and the last codon becomes unreadable.
