pauling2.htm Moreover, the process of natural selection may be expected later on to lead to the survival of a species or strain that synthesizes somewhat less than the optimum amount of an autotrophic vital substance rather than of the species or strain that synthesizes the optimum amount. To synthesize the optimum amount requires about twice as much biological machinery as to synthesize half the optimum amount. As suggested in Fig. 1, the evolutionary disadvantage of synthesizing a less than optimum amount of the vital substance may be small, and may be outweighed by the advantage of requiring a smaller amount of biological machinery. Evidence from the study of microorganisms is discussed in the following paragraphs. Many mutant microorganisms are known to require, as a supplement to the medium in which they are grown, a substance that is synthesized by the corresponding wild-type organism (the normal strain).

PLOS Genetics: A Peer-Reviewed Open-Access Journal HGNC database of human gene names | HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee 3D Animations - Chromosome 11 Flyover :: DNA Learning Center Home DNA Learning Center Preparing students and families to thrive in the gene age 3-D Animation Library Chromosome 11 Flyover Zoom along a three-dimensional rendering of 650,000 nucleotides of human chromosome 11 to see how little actually encodes protein. Duration: 5 minutes, 54 seconds Transcript: We will now take a tour of about 650,000 nucleotides from the tip of the short arm of human Chromosome 11. (1:25) Next we encounter two small genes that encode olfactory receptors, common features of Chromosome 11. (02:57) The intergenic region is followed by two adjacent ubiquilin genes, which are involved in key cell processes, from replication to "programmed" death. (04:38) Next follows a cluster of four genes in the tripartite motif (TRIM) family.

THE BRAIN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM Alcohol Alcohol passes directly from the digestive tract into the blood vessels. In minutes, the blood transports the alcohol to all parts of the body, including the brain. Alcohol affects the brain’s neurons in several ways. It alters their membranes as well as their ion channels, enzymes, and receptors. Click on the labels in the diagram to the right to see an animation about how alcohol affects a GABA synapse. The neuron’s activity would thus be further diminished, thus explaining the sedative effect of alcohol. However, chronic consumption of alcohol gradually makes the NMDA receptors hypersensitive to glutamate while desensitizing the GABAergic receptors. Alcohol also helps to increase the release of dopamine, by a process that is still poorly understood but that appears to involve curtailing the activity of the enzyme that breaks dopamine down.

All About The Human Genome Project (HGP) All About The Human Genome Project (HGP) The Human Genome Project (HGP) was one of the great feats of exploration in history - an inward voyage of discovery rather than an outward exploration of the planet or the cosmos; an international research effort to sequence and map all of the genes - together known as the genome - of members of our species, Homo sapiens. Completed in April 2003, the HGP gave us the ability, for the first time, to read nature's complete genetic blueprint for building a human being. In this section, you will find access to a wealth of information on the history of the HGP, its progress, cast of characters and future.

www.estagiar.pt | Informações sobre estágios Chromosome Abnormalities Fact Sheet Chromosome Abnormalities What are chromosomes? Chromosomes are the structures that hold genes. Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and function; they govern physical and medical characteristics, such as hair color, blood type and susceptibility to disease. Many chromosomes have two segments, called "arms," separated by a pinched region known as the centromere. Top of page Where are chromosomes found in the body? The body is made up of individual units called cells. How many chromosomes do humans have? The typical number of chromosomes in a human cell is 46: 23 pairs, holding an estimated total of 20,000 to 25,000 genes. Of the 23 pairs of chromosomes, the first 22 pairs are called "autosomes." How do scientists study chromosomes? For a century, scientists studied chromosomes by looking at them under a microscope. To help identify chromosomes, the pairs have been numbered from 1 to 22, with the 23rd pair labeled "X" and "Y." Glossary of Terms
