Being able to understand the relationship between DNA, mRNA, tRNA, ribosomes and proteins, is necessary for any researcher inter

ested in gene therapy. Gene therapy is dedicated to correcting genetic defects by replacing mutated genes with wildtype versions. This can include complete removal and replacement of the entire gene (knock-outs or knock-ins) or removal of only the actual mutated nucleotides. Sickle Cell Disease is an example of a single-point mutation: GAG becomes GTG, which codes for a new amino acid. One would only need to replace a single base to correct the disorder making it very amenable to gene therapy. The mutant sickle cell allele is called HbS (for sickled hemoglobin) while the wt allele is HbA. Philippe Kasongo, a masters student from Oxford is studying for an oral exam on gene therapy, and has an especial interest in the disorder since he comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo where Sickle Cell has a historical high rate of occurrence due to the prevalence of malaria. Oral exams are a feature of certain British schools where students form a line and have to answer a series of questions from their proctor rather than take a written exam. Should we try oral exams at Lehman this semester

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, we should try oral exams at Lehman this semester in order to fulfill the research on gene therapy done by the masters student. Test is to evaluate the performance of the student in the class, it can be taken by both the methods i.e. through written or through oral exams. Both have the same significance because both evaluate the performance of the students so we can try oral exams instead of written exams at Lehman this semester to help the masters student in his research.

Why do we have so much dna?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Of the trillions of cells that compose our body, from neurons that relay signals throughout the brain to immune cells that help defend our bodies from constant external assault, almost every one contains the same 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome – the entirety of our genetic material. It is remarkable that each of the over 200 cell types in the body interprets this identical information very differently in order to perform the functions necessary to keep us alive. This demonstrates that we need to look beyond the sequence of DNA itself in order to understand how an organism and its cells function.

True or False? As the energy is transferred from producers to consumers, energy is gained.
Natali [406]
False because it's using energy to do the work. one way to gain energy is by making it. but yet again this is my thought but like i said it's false.

A cotton farmer applies a new insecticide against the boll weevil to his crop for several years. at first, the treatment was suc
romanna [79]
Yes, it is possible that evolution occurs in this case.

At first, the new insecticide is effective against the boll weevil. Spraying the insecticide will kill the boll weevil in a way. The insecticide might attack boll weevil enzyme or any part of its organs.<span>
But some of them might have a mutation that renders the insecticide ineffective. The mutation probably happens to DNA that code the enzyme or protein that targeted by the insecticide, makes the insecticide completely ineffective.
The next spray will kill all old organism, leaving the new resistant organism in less competition area. This will allow the resistant organism to grow fast and eventually replace all the old organism in the area.</span>
