B3 - Genetics - Coggle Diagram

- - - - This Double Helix Structure is made up of complementary base pairing, A - T
        C - G
        
        Each Base is made up of Nucleotides, that consist of a sugar, phosphate and base
  - - - mRNA is bound to the Ribosome
      - Another RNA molecule called tRNA bring amino acids to the ribosome
      - The order in which amino acids are brought into the ribosomes by tRAN should match the base triplets found on the mRNA
        
        These base triplets are called codons
      - tRNA contain anti-codons which are complementary to the codon, and these make sure that they are complementary
      - The amino acids form a polypeptide, also known as a protein
    - - RNA Polymerase bind to a non-coding section of DNA
      - The two strands that make up the double helix structure of DNA unzip
      - It uses the coding section of DNA to produce a template called mRNA
      - mRNA moves out of Nucleus into the cytoplasm, to the Ribosomes
    - - A mutation in the coding sequence of DNA could affect the protein, specifically their shape, this could have a overall affect on the phenotype of the organism
- - - - Can populate a niche very quickly due to the rapid reproductive cycle
      - No Need to find a mate
    - - Lack of Genetic Variation means that a disease has the ability to kill an entire population
  - - - Genetic Variation, means that a disease cannot kill an entire population
    - - Takes a lot longer to sexually reproduce than sexually reproduce as there is a need for a mate
- - - - However mutations need to be drastic to affect an entire population and a single mutation could rarely affect a person's phenotype
