Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The link between an organism’s genotype (for that gene) and its corresponding
Concept introduction:
The DNA act as genetic material which carries information that passes to the next generation. The DNA includes genes and every gene contains a pair of alleles. The DNA present in nucleus divided into chromosomes (long strand of DNA).

Protein synthesis is the process of building a phenotype from a
genotype. In 100-200 words explain how knowledge of this process
helps us to understand how variation is created and expressed. You will
want to refer to specific steps in the process.
What is the genetic phenomenon by which, two individuals carrying the same allele causing a disease do not express the same
symptoms (phenotype)?

In 2003, as a result of the Human Genome Project, the complete sequence of all the bases in human DNA was released to the public. Although knowing the entire sequence of bases has proven valuable, scientists are currently working to map genes. Mapping genes involves determining the exact location of each gene. Since much of human DNA does not code for a protein, it is challenging to figure out which segments are actual genes. Often, scientists look at the percent composition of bases in a segment of DNA. If the segment of DNA has a large percentage of C and G bases (together over 50%), it is likely that it is a gene and codes for a protein. 10. Is it likely this segment of DNA codes for a protein?

- Follow these directions to access the entries for PTGS1 and PTGS2 in the “Gene” database at the NCBI Website:A. First, go to the NCBI homepage using the link on the lab webpage, or by going to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Select “Gene” from the database pulldown menu. Type “PTGS” in the search box, then click “Go.” Scan the results for the “Homo sapiens” entries. There should be one called “PTGS1” and one called “PTGS2.” Select each entry by clicking on its name, then read the paragraph under the “Summary” section for each entry. The drug Celebrex selectively inhibits PTGS2 while aspirin and other NSAID’s inhibit both PTGS1 and PTGS2 in the same way. Why do you think researchers wanted to discover a selective inhibitor to PTGS2? 2.
