In this article we discuss about the expression of mutations. The expression of mutation can be observed only when there occurs a detectable and altered phenotype. If a mutation occurs from a most prevalent wild type to a mutant form, it is called forward mutation. In forward mutation, a second mutation may take place resulting in appearance of a wild [...]
The following points highlight the top six uses of mutations in microorganisms. The uses are: 1. Determination of Function 2. Demonstration of Metabolic Pathways in Microorganisms 3. For Understanding The Metabolic Regulation 4. For Matching a Biochemical Entity with a Biological Function 5. For Locating the Site of Action of External Agents 6. For the Production of Useful Products. Use [...]
In this article we will discuss about: 1. Meaning of Genetic Code 2. Patterns to Genetic Code 3. Properties. Meaning of Genetic Code: It has became obvious that nucleic acids are the genetic material. The nucleic acids being polynucleotide, function to store genetic information's and to replicate. The genetic information flow from polynucleotide to polypeptide. It is surprising to note [...]
