- CLONES
- diploid nucleus removed from the adult body cell
- nucleus removed from an egg cell
- the diploid nucleus is added to the egg cell
- cell then divides (mitotic division) and grows an embryo
- embryo placed inside a surrogates uterus until it is ready to be born
- advantages
- offspring will have all
the good features of
the parents
- disadvantages
- can take many attempts
- can die early and
suffer more health
problems
- any genetic defect will
be given to the
offspring
- STEM CELLS
- cells that can divide to
produce many cells
- embryonic
- taken from
the embryo
and only
produce a few
cells
- advantages of ESC
- easy to extract
- produce any type of cell
- disads of ESC
- kills embryo
- can be rejected
- adult
- found in differentiated tissue
- divide to replace damaged cells
- ads of ASC
- nothing is killed
- will not be rejected
- disads of ASC
- difficult to extract from tissue
- only produces a few types of cell
- advantages of both
- make a person well again
- risks of both
- can produce cancer cells
- TRANSCRIPTION
- double helix is unwound
- free complementary bases are paired with the strand
- makes a strand of complementary
- T is replaced by U in RNA
- TRANSLATION
- ribosome moves along and reads the mRNA
- tRNA molecules bring amino acids to match in the ribosome
- the mRNA strand is paired with the tRNA piece
- close amino acids are joined to make an AA chain
- tRNA is free to go to another amino acid
- PROTEINS
- globular
- enzymes
- lipase
- turns lipids (fat) into fatty acids and glycerol
in the stomach, small intestines and
pancreas.
- amylase
- breaks down starch into sugars in the
pancreas, salivary glands and small
intestines.
- protease
- break down proteins into amino
acids in the small intestine and
pancreas
- fibrous
- keratin (nails)
- makes your nails tough
- MUTATIONS
- can change
one or more
bases in the
DNA sequence
- can change the
amino acid that is
added to the chain in
the ribosome
- this can
have no
effect, be
beneficial
or be
harmful
- ENZYMES
- biological catalysts that control reactions in the body
- all reactions in
transcription and translation
are controlled by different
enzymes
- ENZYME REACTION
- temperature
- down, up and down curve
- substrate concentration
- down up curve
