What You Will Learn!
- Learning about the structure of nucleic acids and nucleotides.
- Understanding the processes of DNA replication, transcription and translation.
- Correlation between some diseases and genetic mutation.
- A little glimpse of biotechnology in relation to genes.
Description
We have been told since childhood how living organisms are composed; every organism consists of systems, and each system consists of organs, and each organ consists of tissues, and each tissue consists of dozens and dozens of cells.
Cells are lots of types, yet all of them have essential things in common, like the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and importantly, the nucleus.
Let's say the nucleus is the mind of the cell, in other words, it controls all cell activities, stores the genetic information of each which defines and differentiates each person from each other, and which is also the main source for protein synthesis for all body functions.
There won't be genetic information and proteins without the nucleic acids.
So what are the nucleic acids? That is why you're here, so that you learn all what you need to know about this topic.
Here we will cover:
The main basics of nucleic acids
The structures of nucleic acids in human body, and how to differentiate between DNA and RNA
The processes of DNA replication, and protein synthesis (the processes of transcription and translation), from A to Z
Related diseases and biotechnological applications
Understanding nucleic acids will help you in many life topics, like the variation between human beings, inheritance, genetic diseases, and biotechnological ways of improving quality of life, like drug production and genetic engineering.
So, enough talking, let's put your mind into work!
