Expert Solution

Answer=

1.Central dogma of biology -Describes the two-step process transcription and translation ,by which the information in genes flows into proteins: DNA RNA protein.Transcription is the synthesis of an RNA copy of a segment of DNA.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.Differences between DNA & RNA

DNA	RNA
1.DNA is double stranded	1. RNA is single stranded.
2.Pentose sugar is deoxyribose	2.Pentose sugar is ribose.
3.It conatins bases,Adenine,Guanine,Thymine and cytosine.	3.It contains the bases Adenine,cytosine,guanine and Uracil.
4.Found in nucleus.	4.Found in nucleolus.

=====================================================================================

3] The process of transcription = Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which the information in a strand of DNA is copied in messenger RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

=============================================================================

4]The transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell.because DNA is present in the nucleus.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.There are 3 types of RNA :

1.Messenger RNA (mRNA) -it carries the genetic information copied from DNA in the form of a series of three -base code words ,each of which specifies a particular amino acid.

2.tRNA - helps to decode a messenger RNA sequence into protein.

3.rRNA - helps to form ribosomes.These complex structures ,which physically move along an mRNA molecule,catalyses the assembly of amino acids into protein chains.

1. What is a dogma? Describe the central dogma of biology. Include the names of the three cellular molecules and the three processes that make those molecules in your description. 2.The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously (in Okazaki fragments.) Why is it not replicated continuously like the leading strand? Be specific and use enzyme names and directionality in your answer. 3.How is all RNA made? Describe the process of translation in terms of the three types of RNA discussed in...

The Central Dogma of Biology states that DNA is turned into RNA, which is turned into proteins. Is this rule infallible? Think of RNA viruses and telomeres when writing your response.

The central dogma of molecular Biology goes DNA to RNA to Protein. Describe the processes of transcription and translation. (in 2-3 sentences for each). Question 2: RT-PCR (real time - PCR) is a technique we can use that measures the amount of RNA in a cell at a given time. This allows us to see what genes are being "expressed" in a cell. Briefly explain how RT-PCR is being used to determine if people are positive for Covid-19.

The textbook presents a very simple, linear scheme of the central dogma of molecular biology (text page 500), but is explicit in noting the simplicity of the original concept and exceptions to it. Which of the following would NOT be reasonable additions or modifications that could be made to this simple linear scheme to account for experimental data?
