Chapter 14, Problem 12TYU
FOCUS ON INFORMATION
Evolution accounts for the unity and diversity of life, and the continuity of life is based on her table information in the form of DNA. In a short essay (100‒150 words), discuss how the fidelity with which DNA is inherited is related to the processes of evolution. (Review the discussion of proofreading and DNA repair in Concept 13.2)

Junk DNA — Not So Useless After All
https://healthland.time.com/2012/09/06/junk-dna-not-so-useless-after-all/
(Claim) Summarize scientist's error in naming noncoding DNA "junk" DNA. (Evidence) Is the amount of DNA an organism has correlated to intelligence or complexity? (Reasoning) What are two discovered uses of noncoding DNA (introns)?

Concept 23. A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides.
This concept describes the discovery of the DNA sequencing technique that made modern biology and bioinformatics possible. The method was later used to sequence the human genome and genomes of many other organisms. This led to the accumulation of great numbers of nucleotide and protein sequences in the numerous databases.
The concept 23 web page is here: http://www.dnaftb.org/23/
After reading the Concept page, answer the following questions.
What was the Mendel’s definition of a gene? How was it different from the definition by Beadle and Tatum?
Describe proteins based on the early sequencing efforts.
What was the definition of a protein coding gene based on the genetic code?
What are the beginning and ending codons of the gene’s protein coding sequence?
What is the name of the method that makes use of a “defective” DNA nucleotide?
After reviewing the Animation pages, answer the following…

- Discuss Concepts A forensic scientist obtained a small DNA sample from a crime scene. In order to examine the sample, he increased its quantity by cycling the sample through the polymerase chain reaction. He estimated that there were 50,000 copies of the DNA in his original sample. Derive a simple formula and calculate the number of copies he will have after15 cycles of the PCR.arrow_forwardDuring your first year, you took Foundations in Biology for Biomedical Sciences 2 (or equivalent), and were introduced to many important biology concepts that you will use throughout your career.

In the first event, you must transcribe the proper RNA sequence from the DNA sequence provided. In the next event, you must translate the RNA strand that you have just created and use it to create the proper string of AMINO ACIDS and, eventually, the proper PROTEIN'. When your protein is completed, the final event is to match your protein with its proper trait (ex: tongue rolling). 1. A TGCATGCGCGACTG GGG TC GGAGTGGarrow_forward
