gene during embryonic development. Identifies mRNA and It can suggest protein
function at that stage. **Southern Blppotting deals with separation of DNA while
northern deals with separation of RNA. Northern Blotting is DNA-RNA

What is the purpose of Northern blot analysis?
,-Garrod suggested that genes dictate phenotypes through enzymes that catalyze
specific chemical reactions
-Symptoms of an inherited disease reflected inability to synthesize a certain enzyme.
-Linking genes to enzymes required understanding that cells synthesize and degrade
molecules in a series of steps called the metabolic pathway.

How did evidence from the study of metabolic defects contribute to the
fundamental relationship between genes and proteins?
-Genetic code- consists of 20 amino acids but only 4 nucleotide bases in DNA
-the flow of information from gene to protein is based on a triplet code. a series of
non--overlapping, three nucleotide words.
-the words of a gene are transcribed into complementary non overlapping three
nucleotide words of mRNA.
-words are then translated into a chain of amino acids forming a polypeptide.

How are the instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins encoded
into DNA?
Said that her cells were not as healthy as those of a normal sheep possibly reflecting
incomplete reprogramming of the original transplanted nucleus. Many cloned animals
exhibit defects, there are many epigenetic changes→ acetylation of histones,
methylation of DNA, must be reversed in the nucleus from a donor cell.

, What may have contributed to the early death of Dolly, the first cloned
mammal, and what may have been the mechanism involved?
Regulated at stages of Transcription, RNA processing, transport to cytoplasm,
translation, protein processing (such as cleavage and chemical modification), and
transport to cellular destination.

Describe the different stages where gene expression is regulated in
eukaryotic cells.
Non-coding RNAs control gene expression at mRNA translation and chromatin
configuration

How do non-coding RNAs control gene expression?
Polypeptide synthesis always begins in the cytosol and finishes in the cytosol unless
the polypeptide signals the ribosome to attach to the ER (bound
ribosome).Polypeptides destined for the ER or for secretion are marked by a signal
peptitide.

How are polypeptides shuttled to the endoplasmic reticulum for secretion?
