DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genomic material in cells that contains the genetic information used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. DNA, along with RNA and proteins, is one of the three major macromolecules that are essential for life. Most of the DNA is located in the nucleus, although a small amount can be found in mitochondria (mitochondrial DNA). Within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, DNA is organized into structures called chromosomes. The formation of new protein molecules is made from amino acid building blocks based on information encoded in DNA/RNA. The amino acid sequence of each protein determines its conformation and properties (e.g. ability to interact with other molecules, enzymatic activity etc).", "The life cycle of an mRNA in a eukaryotic cell. RNA is transcribed in the nucleus; processed, it is transported to the cytoplasm and translated by the ribosome. At the end of its life, the mRNA is degraded. In transcription, the codons of a gene are copied into messenger RNA by RNA polymerase.In simple word or formation of RNA from DNA is known as transcription. This RNA copy is then decoded by a ribosome that reads the RNA sequence by base-pairing the messenger RNA to transfer RNA, which carries amino acids. In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase, and therefore the initiation of transcription, requires the presence of a core promoter sequence in the DNA. Promoters are regions of DNA that promote transcription and, in eukaryotes, are found at -30, -75, and -90 base pairs upstream from the start site of", "The ribosome is responsible for the synthesis of proteins in cells and is found in all cellular organisms.

A promoter with consensus sequences for the −10 and −35 regions (boxed) is shown; the sequences of actual promoters deviate from those shown here. In general, the more closely a promoter resembles the one shown, the stronger (more active) the promoter will be. Some time ago, it was proposed (24) that sequences in the −35 region would affect the initial binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter and that those in the −10 region would affect the isomerization to the open complex. Thus, mutations in the two promoter elements would affect different steps (30, 80, 81).", "Translation. The mRNA formed in transcription is transported out of the nucleus, into the cytoplasm, to the ribosome (the cell's protein synthesis factory). Here, it directs protein synthesis. Messenger RNA is not directly involved in protein synthesis − transfer RNA (tRNA) is required for this. The mechanism of transcription has parallels in that of DNA replication. As with DNA replication, partial unwinding of the double helix must occur before transcription can take place, and it is the RNA polymerase enzymes that catalyze this process." ], "url": [ "https://quizlet.com/10258239/bio-chapter-7-flash-cards/", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome", "https://cm.jefferson.edu/learn/dna-and-rna/", "https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/An_Introduction_to_Molecular_Biology/Transcription_of_RNA_and_its_modification", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome", "https://quizlet.com/10258239/bio-chapter-7-flash-cards/", "https://cm.jefferson.edu/learn/dna-and-rna/", "http://jb.asm.org/content/180/12/3019.full", "http://www.atdbio.com/content/14/Transcription-Translation-and-Replication" ] }

But the mutations we hear about most often are the ones that cause disease. Some well-known inherited genetic disorders include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, phenylketonuria and color-blindness, among many others. All of these disorders are caused by the mutation of a single gene. Most inherited genetic diseases are recessive, which means that a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene to inherit a disorder", "Each of these mutations can cause a variety of different diseases and conditions. Read on to learn what these mutations are and what disorders they can cause. slide 1 of 8. The causes of chromosomes mutation occur when there is any change in the arrangement or structure of the chromosomes. These mutations occur most often during meiosis during the stage when crossing over occurs. There are several different mutation types that result in chromosomal structure change. This cause of mutation occurs when a piece of one chromosome is transferred to a non-homologous chromosome. The two chromosomes, that are often reciprocal, swap segments with each other. This genetic mutation is often responsible for chronic myelogenous leukemia.", "Such types of mutations are also called as mosaicism.

It acts as a cushion or buffer for the brain's cortex, providing basic mechanical and immunological protection to the brain inside the skull. Hydrocephalus is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles, or cavities, of the brain, which may cause increased intracranial pressure (ICP) inside the skull.

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced from arterial blood by the choroid plexuses of the lateral and fourth ventricles by a combined process of diffusion, pinocytosis and active transfer. A small amount is also produced by ependymal cells. The total volume of CSF in the adult ranges from140 to 270 ml. The volume of the ventricles is about 25 ml. CSF is produced at a rate of 0.2 - 0.7 ml per minute or 600-700 ml per day. The circulation of CSF is aided by the pulsations of the choroid plexus and by the motion of the cilia of ependymal cells.", "up vote 27 down vote favorite. 2.
