30. STRUCTURE Each DNA molecule consists of two chains formed by a large number of chemical compounds called nucleotides .
31. Each nucleotide consists of three units: a sugar molecule (desoxyribose), a phosphate group and one of four possible nitrogen compounds called bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T) and cytosine (C).
32. Containing adenine nucleotides are coupled always with thymine, and cytosine with guanine. The complementary bases are joined together by weak chemical bonds called hydrogen bonds .
33. Deoxyribonucleic acid is a polymer of two antiparallel strands (orientation 5 '3'y3'5').
34. REPLICATION The DNA replication process allows the DNA to double, ie, synthesize an identical copy.
35. This duplication of genetic material occurs according to a semiconservative mechanism(the chain of the DNA is previous ).
36.
37. DNA polymerases give each daughter cell a DNA copy of the original in the process of mitosis. They carry out the synthesis of new DNA strand matching the deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate.
38. Primer is a iniciator of the creation of the chain delayed (so called because its direction is 3-5).
39. DNA polymerase III is the principal responsible enzyme for DNA elongation (polymerase activity 5 '-> 3'). It also performs tasks of correction (exonuclease activity 3 '-> 5').
40. DNA polymerase | (adds 20 to 100 nucleotides per binding event) is responsible for the elimination of primers and the "filling" the space left by DNA.
41. DNA ligase is a enzyme with forms links between 5 'end of a chain end and 3 'of another string.
42. Gene expression DNA -> RNA -> protein: gene expression. To express the genetic information contained in DNA, first the nucleotide sequence of a gene is transcribed into RNA. The transcript is catalyzed by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
43. The sequences of the nucleotids of DNA's molecules indicate to RNA polymerasa where to start and where to finish the transcription.
44.
45.
46. Most genes are divided into small coding regions (exons) interspersed with noncoding regions (introns) .
47. At the core, the introns are removed from the primary RNA transcript through a process of maturation of RNA. By a reaction catalyzed by small ribonucleoprotein complexes known as snRNPs, the introns are excised from the primary transcript and exons are joined together directly. Then the mRNA moves to cytoplasm.
48. The nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in groups of three nucleotides ( codons ), so that each codon corresponds to an aminoacid.
49. The possible combinations of four different nucleotides in the RNA produced 64 different codons in the genetic code. Most amino acids are specified by more than one codon.
59. Numerical: The disorder affects the number of chromosomes. There are two types: euploidias: affect the number of chromosomes: aneuploidy : missing or overrun chromosomes.
60. Causes of mutations Mutagenic agents can be: physical (X-ray,radiation) chemicals (pesticidios, dyes, smoke snuff) biological (human papillomavirus)
63. Autosomal disorders The most frequent are trisomies. Down syndrome (trisomy 21): Features: Mental retardation Mongoloid facial features Various disorders (eye, heart ...)
