subunlt Small subunit 5' 3' MRNA For our Unit 12 discussion on gene expression, please answer the following: 1. Describe why there is a 3 letter genetic code to translation. Because the genetic code is redundant (multiple code every amino acid), what implication does this have on DNA point mutations affecting the genetic code (a point mutation is when one base changes to another)?
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.

For our Unit 12 discussion on gene expression, please answer the following:
1. Describe why there is a 3 letter genetic code to translation. Because the genetic code is redundant (multiple codes for
every amino acid), what implication does this have on DNA point mutations affecting the genetic code (a point
mutation is when one base changes to another)?
2. Describe the 3 RNA's of translation. How do they work together to build a protein?
