  • It was first proposed in 1958 by Francis Crick
  • The central dogma of molecular biology, states that DNA is copied(Replicated) converted into RNA (Transcribed) , which is later decoded (Translated) into proteins, which perform many vital functions in the cell.
  • Dna -The molecule inside cells that contains the genetic information responsible for the development and function of an organism.
  • The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T)
  • The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides
  • Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the protein blueprint from a cell's DNA to its ribosomes, which are the "machines" that drive protein synthesis
  • Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries the appropriate amino acids into the ribosome for inclusion in the new protein.
  • the ribosomes themselves consist largely of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules.
  • The Central Dogma is the process by which the instructions in DNA are converted into a functional product.

    Guess the answer
  • DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules
  • HELICASE – for Uncoiling/Unzipping of DNA
  • PRIMASE – Promotes the start of DNA Copying
  • DNA POLYMERASE – Attaches to Primer and for continuous copying of DNA
  • EXONUCLEASE – For removal of uncopied DNA from OKAZAKI FRAGMENT
  • LIGASE – For Zipping/Joining of Newly Copied DNA
  • Replication is needed to ensure that all the body cells carry the same genetic material and that instructions are copied exactly for the next generation.
  • Transcription -It is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence. This copy, called messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the gene's protein information encoded in DNA.
  • The process of Transcription takes in nucleus in eukaryotes.
  • Steps in transcription -initiation, elongation,termination
  • Transcription produces genetic messages in the form of ribonucleic acid, which uses the DNA as a template
  • Translation is the process where a ribosome decodes mRNA into a protein

    concept of societal development
  • Genetic engineering -the artificial manipulation, modification, and recombination of DNA or other nucleic acid molecules in order to modify an organism or population of organisms.
  • A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an animal, plant, or microbe whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.
  • 1973 -created first genetically modified bacteria

    History of gmo
  • 1974 -created GM mice 

    History gmo
  • 1982 - first commercial development (insulin)

    History
  • History
    1994 -began to sell food
  • 2003 -began to sell gmo as pets (glofish)

    History
  • E. Coli - have been modified as diesel fuel

    Gmo bacteria
  • Cyanobacteria -modified to be a plastic
  • Genetically modified crop - bacillus thuringiensis corn
  • Biolumilicent -glow in the dark, nagkakakaiba ng kulay
  • Insertion -means that a number of nucleotides have been erroneously added to the genome, most often during the process of DNA replication
  • Dna editing and sequencing -These technologies act like scissors, cutting the DNA at a specific spot. Then scientists can remove, add, or replace the DNA where it was cut.
  • a new genome editing tool called CRISPR, invented in 1987, has made it easier than ever to edit DNA
  • Gene mapping refers to the process of determining the location of genes on chromosomes.
  • Gene therapy is a technique that modifies a person’s genes to treat or cure disease.
