Genetic Information and Protein Synthesis
Genes are expressed through the process of protein synthesis. This elaborate tutorial provides an in-depth review of the different steps of the biological production of protein starting from the gene up to the process of secretion. Also included are topics on DNA replication during interphase of the cell cycle, DNA mutation and repair mechanisms, gene pool, modification, and diseases...
Genetic Mutations
Mutations involving a gene can similarly be harmful as the chromosomal mutations. This tutorial looks at the mutations occurring at the genes and the harm it may bring. Get to know genetic mutations, such as gene inversions, gene translocations, and DNA sequence alternations...
Role of Golgi Apparatus & Endoplasmic Reticulum in Protein Synthesis
The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are the organelles involved in the translation step of protein synthesis and the ensuing post-translational steps. Read this tutorial for more info...
Protein Synthesis
Part of the genetic information is devoted to the synthesis of proteins. mRNA, a type of RNA, is produced as a transcript that carries the code for protein synthesis. Read this tutorial for further details...
DNA Structure & DNA Replication
DNA is a double helix structure comprised of nucleotides. A nucleotide, in turn, is made up of phosphate molecule, deoxyribose, and a nitrogenous base. Know the fundamental structure of DNA and the process of DNA replication in this tutorial...
Mutation Frequency and Polyploidy
Humans are diploid creatures. This means that for every chromosome in the body, there is another one to match it. However, there are organisms that have more than two sets of chromosomes. When there are more than three this condition is referred to as polyploidy. Know more details about this topic as well as mutation frequency in this tutorial...
