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 Proteins have a crucial role in various biological activities.
Get to know how proteins are able to perform as enzymes, cofactors, or regulators. In this tutorial, you will also know the common metabolic pathways of biomolecules, such as glucose and other carbohydrates, fats, proteins and amino acids, and essential nutrients Setting up and using a Punnett square is quite simple once you understand how it works. You begin by drawing a grid of perpendicular lines:. Next, you put the genotype of one parent across the top and that of the other parent down the left side.
For example, if parent pea plant genotypes were YY and GG respectively, the setup would be:. Note that only one letter goes in each box for the parents. It does not matter which parent is on the side or the top of the Punnett square.
Next, all you have to do is fill in the boxes by copying the row and column-head letters across or down into the empty squares. This gives us the predicted frequency of all of the potential genotypes among the offspring each time reproduction occurs. These will be the odds every time a new offspring is conceived by parents with YG genotypes.
An offspring's genotype is the result of the combination of genes in the sex cells or gametes sperm and ova that came together in its conception. One sex cell came from each parent. Sex cells normally only have one copy of the gene for each trait e.
Monohybrids and Dihybrids Some hybrids have only one trait, involving one pair of alleles, and others involve separate pairs of alleles and two separate traits. When only one trait is involves, the possibilities are simple, and the Punnett square is a simple 2 X 2 grid. A relatively simple trait in humans is whether earlobes are free dominant or attached recessive. If two individuals are heterozygous for the trait, their offspring might have the following genotypes: EE, Ee, Ee, and ee.
If two separate traits are involved, the Punnett square will be larger because of the many different possibilities. For watermelons, solid color green G is dominant over striped green g , and short length S is dominant over long s. If a green , short watermelon GGSS is crossed with a striped, long watermelon ggss , the grid grows to 4 X 4, with 16 different genotypes in the second generation. Incomplete Dominance Not all alleles are dominant or recessive, however. Sometimes, both alleles are expressed.
For example, short tailed cats have one gene for no tail T N and one gene for long tail T L. The roan reddish-brown color of some cattle also results from incomplete dominance, as well as many other features of plants and animals.
