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)?
Human Genome ProjectIn 2003, the Human Genome Project was successfully completed, determining the exact sequence of the entire human genome, which is made up of 3 billion nucleotide base pairs. The data generated from the Human Genome Project is freely available online to anyone. Many researches and innovations stemmed from the HGP, allowing the identifications of 1 800 disease genes. Many of the corporations using the results from the HGP are privately funded, and research is being done for profit even though the HGP results are provided freely.Identify one advantage and one disadvantage of corporate funding and patenting genetic research results.

But first, let's have this quick activity to get to know DNA ad mRNA well. LET US PAIR! The sequence of bases in one DNA / RNA (indicated per item) strand is given below. Identify the complementary sequence of bases in the other strand of DNA/RNA. The first one is done for you.

Label each arrow to indicate which is processing, transcription, replication, and translation. C. Identify the general location (on the appropriate molecule) of the promoter sequence and the terminator sequence. D. Identify the specific location of the place where the start codon and stop codon function most directly. E. Where does RNA polymerase bind to begin transcription? F. Where specifically does the ribosome bind to begin translation-i.e., what are the ribosome binding sites and where are they found? G.

- I wanted to know where in the concepts of genetics 12th edition book can I find the answer to my question? What are the key properties of the genetic code? Given that the genomes of all organisms are made up of As, Ts, Cs, and Gs, how does one account for diversity in organisms? What are some factors that could adversely affect diversity in nature?arrow_forward???arrow_forwardRead This! Extensive research has been done to find similarities and differences in the DNA sequences of different an- imals. This work is very difficult and time consuming, but it can help biologists determine the evolution- ary ancestry of a species. For example, when investigating the human genome, biologists found that about 99.5% of the DNA sequences among humans are the same. Considering the wide variety of traits in the human population, we are a lot more similar than we are different. Humans share approximately 96% of their DNA sequences with chimpanzees, 85% with mice, and 75% with chickens. 16. Study the table below. Organism Pair Percentage of DNA Similarity A-B 97 A-C 85 A-D 50 a. To which organism, B, C or D, is organism A most closely related? Support your answer. b. Which pair of organisms in the table is least closely related? Support your answer. c. Which pair of organisms most likely shares a recent common ancestor?
