Mutation:addition

"Dna Damage". Slideshare.net. N.p., 2017. Web. 27 May 2017.Mutation addition is when a base gets added into the DNA or RNA sequence. When a base gets added into it usually throws off the amino acid code. Just like in the visual above at first the amino acids were Pro- Glu- Glu- Cys- Gly then it had turned into Pro- Gly- Val- Arg. 


I believe this subject was easy as well because once you understand the concept of how to count the bases and turn the RNA into amino acids then you basically get the whole unit. Always remember if theres an extra at the end then it was an addition to the sequence.

    This is very well organized, the pictures are very good. You could put things into bullets to improve. Your reflection is very well made and shows you really know the topic.

    Your post is really well organized. Your information is very well written and correct. Your reflection is not detailed much.

    I really liked the visual and the structure of your post. I also think this subject was a very easy one because it was more like common sense to me but I can relate to your reflection. A proper definition of the term mutation would of been good just so that the reader can better understand but overall good job.

Anaerobic Energy Production - MORGAN BANKS

ANAEROBIC ENERGY PRODUCTION  Anaerobic Energy Production is one form of Cellular Respiration  This form requiers no oxygen  Is used for a fast burst of energy Occurs mostly in prokaryotes cells  Fermentation 1- lactic acid (makes muscles sore)  2- Alocholic REFLECTION - Anaerobic Production has no oxygen, therefore many of the things we do, do not involve anaerobic production! It involves the aerobic energy production. This is not only a good review for you but for me as well on how to justify the two.  http://slideplayer.com/slide/9078035/ MORE INFO: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Aerobic_Respiration_vs_Anaerobic_Respiration VIDEO/QUIZ:  http://study.com/academy/lesson/anaerobic-exercise-definition-benefits-examples.html

Genetic Variation: Mutations

Image
What is a mutation? A mutation is any change in the DNA sequence.  There are three types of mutations: * addition: One or more nucleotide base pairs are inserted into a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation)  *deletion: The removal of one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation) *substitution: A mutation that exchanges one or more bases for another (also called point mutation) How do they occur & why? Mutations for randomly, but different mutations occur different ways.  Most of the time a mutation comes from radiation (so like the sun, X-rays, tanning salons, etc). Some mutations can be genetic though, like autism. Autism is caused when theres an extra chromosome. Another common mutation would be cancer. Cancer occurs when cells uncontrollably grow, and don't die.  Can it be prevented?  Unfortunately, mutations are random. The best way to prevent them is to protect yoursel...
