Genotype to phenotype
An important concept in the following sections is the relationship between genetic information,
the genotype, and the result of expressing it, the phenotype. These two terms and the
mechanisms that link the two will be discussed repeatedly over the next few weeks—start
becoming proficient with using this vocabulary. Genotype refers to the information stored in the
DNA of the organism, the sequence of the nucleotides, and the compilation of its genes.
Phenotype refers to any physical characteristic that you can measure, such as height, weight,
amount of ATP produced, ability to metabolize lactose, response to environmental stimuli, etc.
Differences in genotype, even slight, can lead to different phenotypes that are subject to natural
selection.
Genes
What is a gene? A gene is a segment of DNA in an organism's genome that encodes a functional
RNA (such as rRNA, tRNA, etc.) or protein product (enzymes, tubulin, etc.). A generic gene
contains elements encoding regulatory regions and a region encoding a transcribed unit.
Genes can acquire mutations—defined as changes in the in the composition and or sequence of
the nucleotides—either in the coding or regulatory regions. These mutations can lead to several
possible outcomes: (1) nothing measurable happens as a result; (2) the gene is no longer
expressed; or (3) the expression or behavior of the gene product(s) are different. In a population
of organisms sharing the same gene different variants of the gene are known as alleles. Different
alleles can lead to differences in phenotypes of individuals and contribute to the diversity in
biology that is under selective pressure.
The Flow of Genetic Information in the Cell
The sequence of bases in DNA encodes genetic information. The duplication of DNA, giving
rise to a new DNA molecule with the same base sequence as the original, is necessary whenever
a cell divides to produce daughter cells. This duplication process is called replication. The actual
formation of gene products requires RNA; the production of RNA on a DNA template is called
transcription. The base sequence of DNA is reflected in the base sequence of RNA. Three kinds
of RNA are involved in the biosynthesis of proteins. Of the three, messenger RNA (mRNA) is
particularly important. A sequence of three bases in mRNA specifies the identity of one amino
acid in a manner directed by the genetic code. The process by which the base sequence directs
the amino acid sequence is called translation. In nearly all organisms, the flow of genetic information is DNA > RNA > protein. The only major exceptions are some viruses (called
retroviruses) in which RNA, rather than DNA, is the genetic material. In those viruses, RNA can
direct its own synthesis as well as that of DNA. The enzyme reverse transcriptase catalyzes this
process. (Not all viruses in which RNA is the genetic material are retroviruses, but all
retroviruses have a reverse transcriptase. In fact, that is the origin of the term retrovirus, referring
to the reverse of the usual situation with transcription.) In cases of infection by retroviruses, such
as HIV, reverse transcriptase is a target for drug design. Figure 10.1 shows ways in which
information is transferred in the cell. This scheme has been called the “Central Dogma” of
molecular biology.
In population genetics, gene flow (also known as gene migration or allele flow) is the transfer of
genetic variation from one population to another. If the rate of gene flow is high enough, then
two populations are considered to have equivalent genetic diversity and therefore effectively be a
single population. It has been shown that it takes only "One migrant per generation" to prevent
populations from diverging due to drift. Gene flow is an important mechanism for transferring
genetic diversity among populations. Migrants change the distribution of genetic diversity within
the populations, by modifying the allele frequencies (the proportion of members carrying a
particular variant of a gene). High rates of gene flow can reduce the genetic differentiation
between the two groups, increasing homogeneity. For this reason, gene flow has been thought to
constrain speciation by
combining the gene
pools of the groups, thus
preventing the
development of
differences in genetic
variation that would
have led to full
speciation. In some
cases migration may
also result in the
addition of novel
genetic variants to
the gene pool of a
species or
population. Questions

остается Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule composed of two chains that coil around each other to
form a double helix carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development,
functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule essential in various biological roles in
coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes. RNA and DNA are nucleic acids, and,
along with lipids, proteins and carbohydrates, constitute the four major macromolecules essential
for all known forms of life.
DNA replication is the biological process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from
one original DNA molecule. DNA replication occurs in all living organisms acting as the basis
for biological inheritance. The cell possesses the distinctive property of division, which makes
replication of DNA essential.
Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is
copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Both DNA and RNA are
nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language. During
transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces a
complementary, antiparallel RNA strand called a primary transcript.
Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of
amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including
catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, responding to stimuli, providing structure to
cells and organisms, and transporting molecules from one location to another.
polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes long chains of polymers or nucleic acids. DNA
polymerase and RNA polymerase are used to assemble DNA and RNA molecules, respectively,
by copying a DNA template strand using basepairing interactions or RNA by half ladder
replication.
Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts. Enzymes accelerate chemical reactions.
The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates and the enzyme converts the
substrates into different molecules known as products.
Polyadenylation is the addition of a poly(A) tail to a messenger RNA.
RNA splicing in molecular biology, is a form of RNA processing in which a newly made
precursor messenger RNA (premRNA) transcript is transformed into a mature messenger RNA
(mRNA).
Protein primary structure is the linear sequence of amino acids in a peptide or protein.
