PSYCH 242 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Genetic Code, Interactome, Noncoding Dna
Document Summary
Inversions: deletions, recombination, transposition: inner objects moving around to create changes, ecoli, 4,377 genes, 1 chromosome, haploid, humans, 20,000 genes, 23 pairs of chromosomes. Junk dna: no junk dna, only junk scientists, has important functions. If it has mutations, can lead to diseases such as cancer. Steven j: alteration of natural selection, the observed effect vs. what is happening at the molecular level, multiple places (locations) to get increases/decreases, darwin, herbert spencer: If mutation occurs, may allow to use more than citrate in few generations, and survive better. First mutation occurred at gen: 20,000; had to be other mutations before: evolution will allow 1 population to be more fit, actualization: first use of citrate at 31,500, refinement: mutations allow efficient use of citrate. Found that there is potentuation: accumulate 2 mutations: red queen: (red queen"s race) In order to get anywhere, you have to keep running in place.
