Biología - Genética / Ingeniería genética

The biological living systems contain large number of fundamental processes that control the system. The components present in the system are interlinked and forms network of interactions. The molecules in the systems perform functional relationships that process the mechanisms based on the structural and functional aspects.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

Chapter 1 Biological process

This chapter introduces the concept of biological processes as interconnected networks of interactions within living systems. The chapter discusses the genome organization, highlighting the c-value paradox, and explores the differences in gene size between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It provides an overview of the structure and function of nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromosome organization, and the role of histone proteins in regulating chromosome structure.

Chapter 2 DNA replication

This chapter delves into the process of DNA replication, the fundamental mechanism for copying genetic information. It likely explores the different stages of replication, including initiation, elongation, and termination. The chapter may also cover important enzymes involved in the process and the mechanisms of error correction.

Chapter 3 Transcription

This chapter focuses on transcription, the process of copying genetic information from DNA into RNA. It may discuss the different types of RNA, including mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA, and the role of RNA polymerase in the process. The chapter could also cover key elements involved in transcription, such as promoters and enhancers.

Chapter 4 RNA processing/Splicing

This chapter examines the various processes that occur after transcription, including RNA processing and splicing. It may explore the role of introns and exons, the mechanism of splicing, and the significance of alternative splicing in regulating gene expression.

Chapter 5 Translation

This chapter focuses on translation, the process of converting genetic information encoded in mRNA into proteins. It will likely cover the key components involved in translation, including ribosomes, tRNA, and amino acids. The chapter may also discuss the steps of translation, including initiation, elongation, and termination.
