∟Gene and Chromosome
This chapter provides quick introductions about gene, genome and chromosome.
What Is Gene
What Is Human Genome
Gene Address on Chromosome
DNA Coding and Codons
Gene Expression - Building Proteins
Genetic Transcription - Creating mRNA
Genetic Translation - Creating Protein
DNA Gene Sequence - Exons and Introns
Chromosome Replication (or DNA Replication)
Takeaways:
- A Gene is a section of a double helix DNA structure that contains a specific sequence of base pairs representing a specific coded instruction to construct building blocks for living organisms.
- Human Genome is the complete set of genes packaged inside 23 chromosome pairs in the nuclei of each human cell.
- A DNA codon is a sequence of 3 nucleotides with different combinations of nucleobases: Adenosine (A), Cytidine (C), Guanosine (G), Thymidine (T) and Uridine (U).
- Gene Expression is the process of building new proteins according to the instructions stored a given gene.
- Genetic Transcription is the process of copying genetic information of a gene from DNA to a special RNA molecule called mRNA (Messenger RNA).
- Genetic Translation is the process of translating the nucleotide sequence of a mRNA (Messenger RNA) into the amino acid sequence linked with peptide bonds to build a new protein according to the genome codon map chart.
- Chromosome Replication is the process that all 46 paired chromosomes in a human cell get replicated into 2 sets of identical 46 paired chromosomes.
