MutationsJacob KnightPart One – Observation: What inspired me to become interested in this field of biology? Mutations are fascinating beyond imagination as they are the keystones in the transformations of life. It is these small changes that have caused the genetic diversity we see in the world today. At the beginning of the semester I read a review of the book “Life at the Speed of Light” by Craig Venter. The review referenced a part of the book in which Venter discussed the importance of genomic mutations and their role in the efficacy of life. This prompted my question about what types of mutations exist and how they are passed on without being destroyed. Part Two: My Question Are there different types of mutations, and if so, what factors create them and allow them to survive and make them possible? do mutations occur in places that can produce a viable zygote? Part Three – Hypotheses To begin with, there must be at least a few different types of mutations. I know that mutations are changes in genomic exons, so. Furthermore, there must be different types of mutations both in their duration and in their function. Different types could include single base mutations, codon mutations, multiple codon mutations, and entire gene mutations. I believe it might be possible for an entire gene to be mutated if there were both deletions and core mutations. However, the factors that allow them to survive are quite difficult to predict. While it is the nature of the mutations that allows them to survive, it begs the question: why do they survive? I think I would bet that there could be mechanisms to verify the suction parameters that ensure that each transmitted gamete can survive. If not, I wonder if these mutations result in a non-viable zygote, and what time do the... middle of paper... appear in their appearance? o Schizophrenia can be strongly influenced by genetic factors o Twin studies have shown that one twin has an almost one in two chance of the twin having schizophrenia. o Genes, however, do not determine the onset of schizophrenia. o The glutamate receptor gene plays a role in the response and delay of important neurotransmitters. The production of this membrane-embedded protein that controls much of cellular transmission and neural connections that appears to play a role in schizophreniaPart 7 Refine your questionHow can we advance the human race using artificial mutations?Mutations can be used to help beings humans produce natural proteins that can help the body fight disease? What percentages of mutations survive fetal development? There is the possibility of creating a completely new genetic code that can work?
