Molecular basis of inheritance: DNA, RNA, replication, transcription

Genes

Genes are found in all living things. They can be found all over the body. Genes are a set of instructions which govern how an organism looks, how it survives, and how it interacts with its surroundings. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the material that makes up genes. They tell a living being how to […]

DNA negatively charged

The existence of genetic material such as DNA or RNA in every organism results in certain parallels in their personalities with their parents. This assists in the transfer of qualities from one generation to the next. Because of the presence of phosphate groups in nucleotides, DNA has a negatively charged charge. The phosphate backbone of

Characteristics of Genetic Code

The amino acid order of proteins is decided by the order of nucleotides in deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid. Proteins are not generated directly from DNA, despite the fact that the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA provides the information for protein sequences. There are two forms of genetic coding. RNA codons or DNA codons

Asthma: Classification

Asthma is a long-term non-communicable disease where the airways that transport air to the lungs swell up and reduce the width of the air passage. Asthma is also known as bronchial asthma, which indicates swelling of the bronchioles. Various factors can cause asthma, but the most common is Genetic inheritance. Asthma is a chronic non-communicable

Allele

Definition of an allele A gene’s allele is a particular variant. Bacteria have only one allele per gene per organism due to their single ring of DNA. Each parent supplies an allele to each gene in sexually reproducing organisms, giving the offspring two alleles per gene. Different alleles are found in the same locations on
