Dna and genes

DNA, genes and chromosomes provide an instruction manual for your body to form and function.

This picture shows the organization of chromatin including DNA's double helix structure and how DNA winds around core particles to form nucleosomes. From there, the DNA continues to wind upon its self until a chromosome is created. The function of genes in DNA is to code for the creation of proteins to be used in the body. A genome is all the genes one person has. For example, the human genome is approx. 30-35,000 genes. (Picture obtained from McGraw-Hill Connect).

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids present in all living cells. Learn more about the DNA, RNA and its differences.

Human Genome Project - Genome Mapping, DNA Sequencing, Genomics: The International HapMap Project, genomics studies, the Entrez Genome database, and the BLAST software tool allow the study of genetic similarity and divergence among humans and between species. The influence of the genome on health has led to personalized medicine. CODIS and comparative DNA sequence analyses have revolutionized the fields of forensics and anthropology, respectively.

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that play essential roles in genetic coding but have different structures and functions. Learn their differences and roles here!

The process of producing two identical replicas from one original DNA molecule is called DNA replication. DNA Replication requires a number of enzymes, proteins, and DNA sequences that function together to synthesize a new DNA molecule. These components are important but lets not get so immersed in the details of the process that we lose sight of the general principles of the replication. 1. Replication is always semicoservative. 2. Replication begins at the sequences called origins. 3. DNA…
