RNA – Ribonucleic Acid
Differs from DNA in that:
1. Contains the sugar Ribose
2. Is mostly single stranded
3. Contains the base Uracil
instead of Thymine

Transcription
The synthesis of RNA on a DNA
template
(copying process that makes RNA)
![Page 4: Chapter 3 Human Genetics. RNA – Ribonucleic Acid Differs from DNA in that: 1.Contains the sugar Ribose 2.Is mostly single stranded 3.Contains the base](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e845503460f94b8535f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Process of Transcription:1: RNA polymerase binds with part of the DNA
strand
2: RNA polymerase unwinds a portion of the double helix (separating the strands). RNA
nucleotides pair with complementary bases one at a time
3: A continuous RNA strand is formed
4: The RNA molecules separate, polymerase comes off, and the DNA strands rejoin

The product of transcription is RNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Why is mRNA made?
• DNA canNOT leave the nucleus
What does mRNA do?• Carries DNA information to the ribosomes• Is used to make protein
![Page 8: Chapter 3 Human Genetics. RNA – Ribonucleic Acid Differs from DNA in that: 1.Contains the sugar Ribose 2.Is mostly single stranded 3.Contains the base](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e845503460f94b8535f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How does mRNA make proteins?
• At the ribosome, mRNA assembles amino acids into chains– Codons – group of 3 nitrogenous bases
• tRNA helps assemble the AA
• AA chains combine to form proteins
![Page 9: Chapter 3 Human Genetics. RNA – Ribonucleic Acid Differs from DNA in that: 1.Contains the sugar Ribose 2.Is mostly single stranded 3.Contains the base](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e845503460f94b8535f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
tRNA
• Carries anticodon and an amino acid

Translation uses all 3 forms of RNA:
• mRNA as the template
• tRNA to match a codon to an amino acid
• rRNA to form the platform where the process takes place

Chromosomal aberrations (larger changes in genes)
Chromosomal fragment may:
1. Be duplicated
2. Become attached at new location
3. Be lost completely
4. Be inverted and reinserted (*most frequent)
5. Change in chromosome #

Karyotype – an arrangement of homologous
chromosome pairs Autosomal chromosomes – same in both sexes
(22 of 23 pairs) Sex chromosomes – 23rd pair; have a role in
determining the sex of an individual
(most of the genes on the X chromo. are not on the Y chromo.)

Genes that are carried on sex chromosomes determine sex and
sex-linked traits

Exceptions to the rule:Not all females are XX and not all males are XY
A cross-over during meiosis can occur between an X & Y chromosome and is followed by an exchange of DNA pieces ---translocation
1/20,000 normal males is XX (chromosomally)1 of X chromo. contains small translocated piece of Y chromo.
1/20,000 normal females is XY (chromosomally)missing same small piece of the Y chromo.

Lead to the assumption that:
• An XY female has 99.8% of the Y chromosomal DNA; therefore, the male-determining factor must be located in the .2% portion of the chromo. she did not have
• The .2% of the chromo. has the sry gene – which is thought to induce male development

Sex-linked traits• Most genes are located on the X chromo.
• Genes that are on the X chromo. and not on the Y chromo. are sex-linked genes
![Page 31: Chapter 3 Human Genetics. RNA – Ribonucleic Acid Differs from DNA in that: 1.Contains the sugar Ribose 2.Is mostly single stranded 3.Contains the base](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e845503460f94b8535f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Females
• Can be either homozygous or heterozygous for sex-linked traits (b/c they have 2 X chromo. and 2 alleles of every sex-linked gene)
Males• Because males only have
1 X chromo., they have 1 allele for each sex-linked trait (which determines his phenotype for the trait)
• Hemizygous
e.g., red-green colorblindness

Variations in sex chromosomes:Klinefelter’s syndrome• XXY• Male phenotype• Sterile• Some symptoms treated

Pedigrees
• Diagrams giving the pattern of mating and descent of certain traits– most basic methods for presenting genetic data– are most useful when they span many generations
![Page 50: Chapter 3 Human Genetics. RNA – Ribonucleic Acid Differs from DNA in that: 1.Contains the sugar Ribose 2.Is mostly single stranded 3.Contains the base](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e845503460f94b8535f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Pedigrees help determine if traits are:
1. Inherited
2. Dominant or recessive
3. Have a more complex genetic basis

Human Genome Project
Proposed in 1986
Completed in 2003
Purpose: 1. Make a genetic map of the human genome
a. Including chromosomal location of all human genes
2. Complete DNA sequence of the human genome
3. DNA sequence of each human is unique
a. People share same genes, but sequences vary (different alleles)

Genome - Complete set of inherited genetic information encoded in our DNA
• 3.1 billion nucleotide base pairs in each cell• Only about 2% of the human genome contains
genes, which are the instructions for making proteins
• Approx. 28,000 – 35,000 genes in the human genome
• The human genome is nearly the same (99.9%) in all people

1. Who owns the human genome?
2. Who owns the sequence of a particular gene?
3. Can genes be patented?
4. Who should have access to the information?a. Physicians?
b. Insurance companies?

Ethical Issues:1. Genetic discrimination?2. Misuse of genetic info. due to ignorance. 3. Who should be tested?
Those at higher risk, for ex.:a. African Americans – sickle-cell anemiab. Mediterranean or southeast Asian –thalassemiac. Ashkenazi Jews –Tay-Sachs diseased. European Americans – cystic fibrosis
4. Eugenics - Altering a gene poola. Positive eugenics – encouraging certain genotypes to breed in
greater numbersb. Negative eugenics – preventing certain genotypes from breeding

Cloning
Asexually produced organism (or cells)
Procedure:1. Nucleus from a fertilized egg (zygote) is removed
2. and replaced with the nucleus from a cell of a fully developed individual
3. implanted in the womb
4. and brought to term

Many genes are highly complex and involve the interaction of many genes
(such as hair color, eye color, skin color, height, etc.)
Several traits are determined by only one gene, and if you have the gene then you have the trait.
such as the following: • Come to Class for Examples!! *see, it’s not all right
