Answer:
In type 1 diabetes the immune system erroneously attacks the beta cells that produce insulin in your pancreas. It causes permanent damage, leaving your pancreas unable to produce insulin. Exactly what triggers the immune system to do that isn't clear. Genetic and environmental factors may play a role.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nucleic acids
Composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and phosphorous.
DNA
The universal code that stores genetic information in all organisms
Semi
conservative-Bases in original strand split and new nucleotides complementary base pair to form two new strands
Mutations
Any change to the DNA sequence
Gene mutation
Permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene.
Transcription
The process of copying a nucleotide sequence of DNA to form a complementary strand of mRNA
Translation
Process by which mRNA is decoded and proteins are made.
Codon
Three nucleotide bases
tRNA
Reads the codon on the mRNA using anticodons and the complimentary base pair rules and delivers the amino acids
What would be the replicated DNA strand for the following DNA sequence?...GCGTATG
CGCATATC
What would be the mRNA and tRNA be for the following DNA sequence?...AGGTTA
mRNA...UCCAAU. tRNA...AGGUUA.
The process of converting the genetic message from DNA into ____ is called transcription.
mRNA
How many amino acids are in the human body and what do we call the bond that holds them together?
20; Peptide bond
A single strand of DNA contains the following nine nucleotides in order ACTTATGGA. What sequence of bases will be present on the complementary strand of DNA?
TGAATACCT
In humans, insulin is manufactured in the pancreas. Insulin is a peptide hormone that causes the body's cells to take up glucose. The blueprint for the polypeptide chain that is insulin is found in the __________ of specialized pancreatic cells.
DNA
Given the sequence of DNA nucleotide bases TTAGCCTTG, give the complementary mRNA produced during transcription.
AATCGGAAC
Identify the correct sequence of molecules, as a gene goes from coded information in the nucleus, to the product the cell wants to make.
DNA...messenger RNA...transfer RNA...Protein
Why is DNA replication considered semiconservative?
Each half of the old DNA strand serves as a template for the new growing strand causing the copied DNA to half new and half old.
