Title: Review: DNA? RNA? Protein


1
Review DNA? RNA? Protein
  • In a cell, genetic information flows from DNA to
    RNA in the nucleus and RNA to protein at the
    ribosome.

  • Transcription and translation are how genes
    control
  • The structures
  • The activities of cells

6
Mutations
  • A mutation is any change in the nucleotide
    sequence of DNA.
  • Mutations can change the amino acids in a
    protein.
  • Mutations can involve
  • Large regions of a chromosome
  • Just a single nucleotide pair, as occurs in
    sickle cell anemia

7
  • How can Mutations be BAD?
  • How can Mutations be GOOD?

8
  • Although mutations are often harmful, they are
    the source of genetic diversity, which is
    necessary for evolution by natural selection.

9
Mutagens
  • Mutations may result from
  • Errors in DNA replication
  • Physical or chemical agents called mutagens
  • UV rays, X-rays, gamma rays, chemicals

10
Types of Mutations
  • Mutations within a gene can occur as a result of
  • Nucleotide substitution, the replacement of one
    nucleotide by another
  • Nucleotide deletion, the loss of a nucleotide
  • Nucleotide insertion, the addition of a nucleotide

11
If a mutation changed a codon from GGU to GGA
then what would happen? If a mutation changed
a codon from GGA to UGA then what would happen?

  • Insertions and deletions can
  • Change the reading frame of the genetic message
  • Lead to disastrous effects

The Human Genome Project
  • Begun in 1990, the Human Genome Project was a
    massive scientific endeavor
  • To determine the nucleotide sequence of all the
    DNA in the human genome and
  • To identify the location and sequence of every
    gene
  • Aims of the project
  • - to identify the estimated 100,000 genes in the
    human DNA.

20
  • At the completion of the project in 2004
  • Over 99 of the genome had been determined to
    99.999 accuracy
  • 3.2 billion nucleotide pairs were identified
  • About 24,000 genes were found
  • About 98 of the human DNA was identified as
    noncoding

22
  • The Human Genome Project can help map the genes
    for specific diseases such as
  • Alzheimers disease
  • Parkinsons disease

24
Benefits of Human Genome Project research
  • - improvements in medicine.
  • - microbial genome research for fuel and
    environmental cleanup.
  • - DNA forensics.
  • - improved agriculture and livestock.
  • - better understanding of evolution and human
    migration.
  • - more accurate risk assessment.

25
Making Humulin
  • In 1982, the worlds first genetically engineered
    pharmaceutical product was sold.
  • Humulin, human insulin
  • Was produced by genetically modified bacteria
  • Was the first recombinant DNA drug approved by
    the FDA
  • Is used today by more than 4 million people with
    diabetes

26
  • Today, humulin is continuously produced in
    gigantic fermentation vats filled with a liquid
    culture of bacteria.
