Is it Possible that DNA Genetic Material itself to fool the Definite Determination? Part 3
Real Fathers may escape responsibility of fathering; Lawyers shall stand on their toes on floor to question the protocols used by laboratories, to determine a real father.
Control
of gene expression
Last episode we were
discussing about coding sequence of triplet codons
and the non-coding sequences of Triplet
Codons of the
DNA molecules and termed the later as of , "useless" codons unless externally for
forensic investigations.
Based on the theory of evolution by Lamarck the first
evolutionist by 1700
“A life particle
cannot maintain an abundant excess to be fittest for the best of survival”
Terming
of non-coding sequences of Triplet Codons of the DNA as of "Junk", “useless” sequences is
wrong biologically and though somewhat an older practice since as soon as the
DNA was exposed as main component of chromosomes which was until then (1960) the
only material for genomics of life studies.
As the
name implies they do not encode for any proteins produced that ultimately
decides the body shape, internal organs and metabolism. Later it was found that
the genetically “useless” triplet codons transcribes into a noncoding
transcribed transfer RNA, produces messenger RNA without a message
and regulator ribosomal RNA etc. and brings about a halt to
protein synthesis; unless otherwise the coding sequences for synthesis of
proteins, would continue to synthesize proteins without any regulations harming
the bodily functions and shape for the worst abnormalities within a life. It is
postulated that non-coding sequences of Triplet
Codons are actually functional as of all important regulating the protein synthesis within the body
cell.
Synthesizing protein,
Transcription and translation
There are many types of cells in a person’s body, such as heart
cells, liver cells, and muscle cells. These cells look and act differently and
produce very different chemical substances, though every cell is the descendant
of a single fertilized egg cell and as such contains essentially the same DNA.
Cells acquire their very different appearances and functions because different
genes are expressed in different cells (and at different times in the same
cell). The
information about when a gene should be expressed is also coded in the DNA. Gene expression depends on the type of tissue, the age of the
person, the presence of specific chemical signals, and environment and its mechanisms.
Proteins are composed of a long chain of
amino acids linked together one after another. There are 20 different amino
acids that can be used in protein synthesis—nine must come from the diet (9essential amino acids), and some are made by
enzymes in the body. As a chain of amino acids is put together, it folds upon
itself to create a complex three-dimensional structure. It is the shape
of the folded structure that determines its function in the body.
Because the folding is determined by the precise sequence of amino acids,
each different sequence results in a different protein. Some proteins (such as
hemoglobin) contain several different folded chains. Instructions for
synthesizing proteins are coded within the DNA.
Transcription
is the process in which information coded in DNA is transferred (transcribed)
to ribonucleic acid (RNA). RNA is a long chain of bases just like a strand of
DNA, except that the base uracil (U) replaces the base thymine (T). Thus, RNA
contains triplet-coded information just like DNA.
When transcription is initiated, part of
the DNA double helix splits open and unwinds. One of the unwound strands of DNA
acts as a template against which a complementary strand of RNA forms. The
complementary strand of RNA is called messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA separates
from the DNA, leaves the nucleus, and travels into the cell cytoplasm (the part
of the cell outside the nucleus. there, the mRNA attaches to a ribosome, which
is a tiny structure in the cell where protein synthesis occurs.
With translation,
the mRNA code (from the DNA) tells the ribosome the order and type of amino
acids to link together. The amino acids are brought to the ribosome by a much
smaller type of RNA called transfer RNA (trRNA). Each molecule of trRNA brings
one amino acid to be incorporated into the growing chain of protein, which is
folded into a complex three-dimensional structure under the influence of
nearby molecules called chaperone molecules.
Thus
it is obvious from the above that there should be a start codon which is ATG,
followed by an openly
readable stretch of 100 odd triplet codons that code for few amino acids of
particular protein free of
noncoding triplets or stop codons such as TAA, TAG,
& TGA TCC and are the final in the stretch; start codon transcribed by mRNA and trRNA as UAG and the stop
codons as UAA, UAG, UGA and UGG.
No group of triplet codons assigned for one amino acid will not code for another; but start codon of RNA UAG codes for amino acid Methionine as well. Similarly stop codon UGG codes for amino acid Tryptophan as well. Both amino acids are essential amino acids and are the only coded by just one each triplet codon in DNA.
How many molecules of DNA are there in one chromosome?
One chromosome is made of two chromatids; and
each chromatid is a DNA molecule. Each DNA molecule is a double helix. So two DNA molecules per
chromosome.
Total of 3.3 billion
Nucleotide base Pairs per cell Nucleus in 46 Chromosomes that makes 3300
million divided 92 (46 X 2) and yields 35 million Nucleotide base Pairs per
Chromosome; thus roughly should carry almost 10
million triplet codons representing 20,000 thousand genes and the rest
are non-coding triplet base pairs. The entire set of coding triplet codon and non-coding triplet available living cell is known as Genome
We have learned the universal
DNA activity of Eukaryotas, that is of animals and plants as a platform to understand the forensic determination of various issues, that will follow then
and there, sexing of offspring also would follow as I wind up the series.
