Document Summary

Central dogma: flow of information within a cell, the flow is largely in one direction. Dna: dna can also make rna, and rna can make proteins, some organisms can take rna and make dna reverse transcription. Info is held in dna and is used to make more dna. Dna transcription: transcription- involves making rna from dna, dna rna (one nucleic acid to another) Dna translation: translation- convert the information in rna into the sequence of amino acids in a protein, rna proteins (nucleic acid to proteins; nucleotides to amino acids) Rna dna (only some organisms can do reverse transcription- ex: retroviruses) Pku: fails to produce proper enzyme, every infant in the united states is tested for this, the mutation lies in the dna and the ultimate result is we do not get the protein. In development high levels of phenylalanine cause neurological disorders. Inherited- genetic disorder we want (improper enzymes: changes in dna changes in protein.

Transcription of a gene has just completed. What are the next steps (in the correct order) to complete expression of that gene?

RNA polymerase makes a copy of DNA into mRNA.

mRNA is translated in the nucleus and ribosomal RNA moves into the cytoplasm.

Gene expression is completed after transcription.

mRNA moves into the cytoplasm and with tRNA they interact to form protein

Translation machinery moves into the nucleus and mRNA is translated into protein.

How is it that a mutation in DNA stored inside the nucleus of a cell can cause a disease affecting multiple organs?

This remains an unanswered question in science that scientists are still trying to figure out.

The mutated DNA is expressed in multiple cells through the process of transcription and translation, and the altered protein causes the disease wherever the DNA was expressed.

The mutated DNA is expressed in one cell and the altered protein travels to multiple organs to cause disease.

The mutated DNA is expressed and the mRNA takes the mutated information to other cells where the altered protein is made to cause disease in that organ.

The advantage of sickle cell anemia is which of the following?

It decreases the amount of oxygen in the blood cells so that mosquitoes carrying malaria will live
