Each DNA molecule is made up of two spirally coiled chains
made up of sugars and phosphorus molecules and in the
middle nitrogenbases.This arrangement looks like a ladder.
nitrogen bases are adenine, guanine, thiamine, cytosine.
Adenine always pairs with thiamine by two hydrogen bonds.
These are known as 2D base pairs.
Guanine always pairs with cytosine by three hydrogen
bonds.These are known as 3D base pairs.

In the definition of mutation we say sudden heritable change i the DNA, so what does sudden means here?
A base deletion occurs in the regulator gene of the LAC operon. Describe how the operation of the LAC operon might be affected?
The ABO blood system has been employed to settle cases of disputed paternity. Suppose, as an expert in genetics, you are called to testify in a case where the mother is type A, the child is type O and the alleged father is type B. How would you respond to the following statements of the attornies: a. "Since the mother has type A, the type O of the child must have come from the father and since my client is type B, he obviously could not have fatered the child." Made by the attorney of the alleged father. b. "Further tests revealed that this man is heterozygous and therefore he must be the father." Made by the mother's attorney.
Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?
Does a person diagnosed with turner syndrome have trouble hearing? please reply if you have this syndrome or know someone who does.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) occurs with a frequency of about 1/2500 Caucasian newborns and is inherited as an autosomal recessive. A woman had an older sister die from complications of this disease. CF is not present among relatives of her husband. Both the woman and her husband have normal phenotypes. What is the chance this couple will have a CF child?
Can you name a few potential risks of Genetic Engineering?
How will you differentiate alleles of a gene in the double strand of DNA?
What are the down sides of Genetic Engineering?
Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele (p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait. What is the probability that their first child will have cataracts and polydactyly?
What is the chemical composition of gene?
Is There any way in which a currently living could be mutated in reality to such a large scale as to which others could see the mutation, such as a third arm?
In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
