Short Notes on Oncogenes | Gene

Genes that confer the ability to convert cells to a tumourigenic state are called oncogenes. Cancer cells are characterised by immortaliza­tion, transformation and metastasis. Oncogenes induce uncontrolled cell growth resulting in tumour, so it can be anticipated that the products of these genes would act by stimu­lating cell division in some manner. Now it is clear that the products of [...]

Quick Notes on Genetic Code | Cell Biology

Quick Notes on Genetic Code:- 1. Introduction to Genetic Code 2. Properties of Genetic Code 3. Exceptions 4. Decipherence. Introduction to Genetic Code: Living things depend on proteins for exis­tence, the latter produce enzymes necessary for all chemical reactions. Structural infor­mation required to specify the synthesis of any given protein resides in the molecule of DNA which has the spatial [...]
