In the brain, circadian rhythms are regulated by the expression of several genes. These genes code for the proteins PER and TIM

which build up over time and at high levels cause the animal to ________. After a certain point, these proteins inhibit their own production, causing levels to decrease and the animal to ________

Answer:

Sleep.

Awaken.

Explanation:

The time and duration of circadian rhythms  are regulated  by the interactions of PER(period) and TIM(timeless) genes and their proteins. The TIM proteins  binds with PER- proteins and the two entered the cell nucleus to set up  circadian rhythms.

At midday the two genes becomes active,and their DNAs transcribed to form PER-RNA, and TIM -RNA. These RNAs accumulated in the cell nucleus   over some hours.

At dusk(night) the  amount  of these  RNAs reached highest levels.and are translated  to the PER and TIM -proteins, which bonded together and moved into the  cells nucleus causing  sleep in the animals.

Hours to dawn,(morning) the concentration of the two proteins exceeded their limit, and signals is sent to their genes to stop transcription, thus the protein(PER  and TIM) synthesis is stopped.

At almost dawn, the PER and TIM proteins disintegrates, the cycle begins again and the individual is awake.

In the future, doctors may be able to evaluate your DNA to check for genetic markers related to specific medical conditions or h
puteri [66]
First things first, I'd call this a questionnaire rather than a problem but anyways. Your DNA profile is literally your identity, and to have that stored in the medical records would be useful in some other cases besides medical issues. It is like having a copy of your fingerprint in the government's hands. Thus one may find it useful as another way to identify someone when the need occurs. As for purposes such as to be referred for the development of personal medical treatment (I believe you're referring to project CRISPR) , is not as necessary because the way they identify mutated genes or "infected" DNA or cells is by referring it to the normal DNA found in any other cells in your body, and if cells are that easy to access, they do not have the need to keep a medical record just for your DNA sequence along with all your gene codes, especially when you are performing investigations on the same species, humans, who have the same number of chromosomes with the similar genes.
