7 Questions
What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?
Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
How is the genetic code read?
In groups of three nucleotides, or codons.
How many possible codon combinations are there?
What are the three steps involved in translating the genetic code into protein?
Transcription, RNA processing, and translation.
What is the difference between Mendelian and complex diseases?
Mendelian diseases are caused by a single gene mutation and follow predictable inheritance patterns, while complex diseases involve multiple genes and environmental factors, and do not follow simple inheritance patterns.
What is the difference between somatic and germline mutations?
Somatic mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and are not passed on to offspring, while germline mutations occur in reproductive cells and can be passed on to offspring.
What is a trinucleotide repeat disorder?
It involves the expansion of a repeated triplet of nucleotides, which can affect gene expression and lead to disease.
