Translating the mRNA .



Transcribing the mRNA from the DNA


March 8, 2018
The nitrogenous bases present in the RNA are
1) cytosine
2) guanine
3)adenine
4) Uracil

The DNA is double helix.
The nitrogenous bases in the DNA are:
1) cytosine
2) guanine
3) adenine
4) thymine

The base pairing rule for copying the DNA is
Cytosine bonds with guanine ( C bonds with G)
thymine bonds with adenine  ( A bonds with T)

Codominance  inherited pattern explained using Blood Types: A, B, AB and O
 Blood type is an example of a gene with more than two allele in the population.

Sex-linked / X-linked disorders affecting mainly males was also explained.
Examples of a few sex-linked conditions are: hemophilia, red-green color blindness, congenital deafness, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and some forms of mental retardation.
