Does anyone take or have taken FLVS Biology??? I am really far behind and need help!!
(**Will return those who help with a fan & first to help will also receive a medal**)

Answer 1

hello!

Answer 2

i'm here as well

do you take the course? @ilikescience

Answer 4

no, sorry

Answer 5

wish i could help :/

Answer 6

techinally you could...

Answer 7

?

Answer 8

you can still help me right?

Answer 9

i could try

Answer 10

write an essay describing the production of protein molecules through transcription and translation. Your essay should include discussions of the following:

DNA
mRNA
RNA polymerase
base pairing
transcription
translation
tRNA
rRNA
ribosomes
amino acids
protein

Answer 11

just a few paragraphs

Answer 12

sorry man, i dont have that kind of time, and im not that knowledgeable on the subject. im more of a short answer/multiple choice kind of guy

Answer 13

ok can i send you some multiple choice questions & see if you can help?

Answer 14

sure

Answer 15

need help?

Answer 16

yeah

Answer 17

with?

Answer 27

Sorry, in class rn so I can't write a detailed response

Answer 28

could you send it tome later maybe

Answer 29

@Anonymouse2015

Answer 30

i literally know all that stuff from last year but idk if i have time to put an essay together right now, sorry :(

Answer 31

it doesn't have to be an essay just like a paragraph or2

Answer 32

@Anonymouse2015

Answer 33

okay let me see haha

Answer 34

The question / essay is asking for you to describe the process of how cells replicate DNA. Google something along the lines of "cell process of DNA", and then just paraphrase. :)

Answer 35

Hmmmm...Very well...Transcription & Translation...An essay...Well...I can write a whole book... ;) Up to what level do you need the information???

Answer 36

9th grade not to advanced and jut like the basics please @RamiroCruzo

Answer 37

Okie...Dokie...Miss...Writing it now...Sorry for the delay.. :D

Answer 38

oh okay thank you!

Answer 39

Protein synthesis

Protein synthesis is a complicated process where a section of DNA in the nucleus is copied and sent to ribosomes opens in a new window in the cytoplasm. The ribosomes use the information to combine amino acids (the building blocks of protein) to form protein molecules.

Transcription

During a process called transcription opens in a new window, protein synthesis begins in the nucleus, where a section of DNA is copied. The copy, usually about 8000 bases, is known as messenger RNA (mRNA) and is transported to the cytoplasm.
RNA, unlike DNA, is composed of a single strand of nucleotides and can pass through the pores of the nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm.

Translation

Once in the cytoplasm the mRNA binds to a ribosome for translation opens in a new window into a protein molecule. The mRNA provides a sequence of triplet codes – set of three bases transcribed from the DNA – for the synthesis of a particular protein. Each three-base set, or triplet, is called a codon opens in a new window.
Each codon codes for one of twenty amino acids.
Amino acids are carried to the ribosome by transfer RNA (tRNA) and a polypeptide chain is built according to the sequence of codons on the mRNA.
Each molecule of tRNA has three bases (anticodon opens in a new window) which bind to the mRNA triplet codes (codon) following the rules of complementary base pairing.
For example, the tRNA anticodon A A C, shown below, will bind with the mRNA codon U U G (remember uracil replaces thymine in RNA).
Translation is the process where a specific sequence of amino acids is formed along the mRNA in accordance with the codons transcribed on it. The ribosome moves along the mRNA and uses the codons to combine amino acids as they arrive. A polypeptide chain, linked by peptide bonds, is formed as shown below.
Polypeptide chains, once formed, are assembled into protein molecules.

Thanks you're a lifesaver!

Answer 50

When mutation occurs, the genetic code is changed in your body. So, mutations lead to genetic variations.
An example of this would be; a pregnant woman is living in an environment that is contaminated with mutagens of radiation. While the baby is growing inside of her, the production of its DNA is damaged in different ways. It is most likely that the baby will be born with some kind of mutation. This will lead to genetic variations.

From observing the BRCA mutations table, I have concluded that the BRCA1 mutation is far more critical than the BRCA2 mutation. Also, the BRCA1 mutation is more common. Research shows that 18% people died who had BRCA1, and 2.4% people died who had BRCA2.

From looking at the charts, I have concluded that, it is most common for women to get breast cancer in their 30s, 40s, and 50's.

This cancer gene develops over the years. When the women of a family have children, they don't know at the time that they are infected with the gene. That gene is then passed down to their children. It is mainly a hereditary thingy 'cause, that gene is passed through generations.

Genetic analysis and medical history of the family are the database required for me to conclude about the effectiveness & prevention of this disease.

When someone inherits breast cancer, that genetic mutation is carried into the reproductive cells. Despite all the treatments for this disease, I don't think so that it is possible for any doctor to remove all carcinogenic cells from patients body, hence, this disease will continue to pass down generations after generations through the germ line.
