Code
The genetic code is the correspondence between the triplet of bases in dna with the amino acids. The discovery of the genetic code clearly ranks as one of the premiere events of what has been called the golden age of biology (and Medicine).
Genes are expressed through the process of protein synthesis. This elaborate tutorial provides an in-depth review of the different steps of the biological production of protein starting from the gene up to the process of secretion. Also included are topics on DNA replication during interphase of the cell cycle, DNA mutation and repair mechanisms, gene pool, modification, and diseases...
Part of the genetic information is devoted to the synthesis of proteins. mRNA, a type of RNA, is produced as a transcript that carries the code for protein synthesis. Read this tutorial for further details...
Plants are characterized by having alternation of generations in their life cycles. This tutorial is a review of plant mitosis, meiosis, and alternation of generations. ..
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell capable of producing a specific immune response to unique antigens. In this tutorial, learn about these lymphocytes and the mechanisms they employ to defend the body against the same antigens...
This tutorial looks at the mutation at the gene level and the harm it may bring. Learn about single nucleotide polymorphisms, temperature-sensitive mutations, indels, trinucleotide repeat expansions, and gene duplication...
DNA is a double helix structure comprised of nucleotides. A nucleotide, in turn, is made up of phosphate molecule, deoxyribose, and a nitrogenous base. Know the fundamental structure of DNA and the process of DNA replication in this tutorial...
