β¦ Synopsis
Why do children resemble their parents and siblings? Introducing young readers to the fascinating world of genetics, this educational resource presents the main concepts of the science, including what a chromosome does, how DNA is structured, and how genetic inheritance works. Students learn about new discoveries in the field of genetics and how those discoveries have helped to cure or even prevent certain diseases, as well as examine controversial issues in genetics such as genetically modified foods and stem cell research. Combining inquiry-based, age-appropriate activities with biology.;Cover; Contents; Timeline; Introduction: The Code of Life; Chapter 1: Gregor Mendel; Chapter 2: Looking Inside the Cell; Chapter 3: DNA:The Genetic Material; Chapter 4: Genes and Chromosomes; Chapter 5: Sex Cells and Meiosis; Chapter 6: Sending Messages; Chapter 7: Gene Mutations; Chapter 8: Genetic Advances How; Glossary; Resources; Index; Back Cover.

A model for topological coding of proteins is proposed. The model is based on the capacity of hydrogen bonds (property of connectivity) to "x conformations of protein molecules. The protein chain is modeled by an n-arc graph with the following elements: vertices ( -carbon atoms), structural edges (p

The function of DNA is to specify protein sequences. The four-base "alphabet" used in nucleic acids is translated to the 20 base alphabet of proteins (plus a stop signal) via the genetic code. The code is neither overlapping nor punctuated, but has mRNA sequences read in successive triplet codons un

The main theories which have been suggested to explain the origin of genetic code organization are discussed. The coevolution theory, which considers the genetic code as a map of the biosynthetic relationships between amino acids, seems to be based on a mechanism that links it closely to certain sta
