Genome:
The entire genetic complement of a living organism.
Gene:
A DNA segment containing biological information and
hence coding for an RNA and / or polypeptide molecule.
Eukaryotes genomes;
Divided into two or more linear DNA molecules.
Each contained in a different chromosome.
Possess smaller, usually circular, mitochondrial
genomes.
Third genome located in the chloroplast (in plant and
other photosynthetic organism)
10 Mb 100,000 Mb in length.
Higher eukaryotes need larger genome to
accommodate the extra genes.
Correlation between genome size and complexity (???)
--- C-value paradox.
Space is saved in the gnomes of less complex
organism because the genes are more closely packed
together.
Prokaryotes genomes:
Whole prokaryotes genomes are smaller than
eukaryotes.
Most if not all -- are contained in a single DNA
molecules.
The molecule is circular.
Have second circular or linear genome, called
PLASMID.
Have fewer genes
More compact genome organization, more gene but
less space.
There is NO INTRONS (some exception is in
archaea.)
Infrequency of repetitive sequences.
upstream
Initiation codon
downstream
termination codon
Genetics codes
DNA Replication:
The transmission of genetic material from parent to
progeny requires an exact duplication of the original
DNA strands.
Major errors in this process leading to prevent normal
cell growth and development.
Each strand of the parent DNA serves as template
for the formation of a complementary strand.
DNA transcription:
The process in which one strand of DNA serves as a
template for the synthesis a single-stranded
messenger RNA (mRNA).
It is the information on the RNA that can be
translated into usable information by the cell.
