Medical Genetics Genes are entities that parents pass to offspring during reproduction

Medical Genetics Genes are entities that parents pass to offspring during reproduction

Medical Genetics These entities encode information essential for the construction and regulation of proteins(such as enzymes) and other molecules that determine the growth and functioning of the organism

Medical Genetics 2. Gene structure Richard J. roberts and phillip A. Sharp(1993 Nobel Prize winner) made their amazing discovery of the existence of split genes in the adenovirus, when they examined a hybridized nucleic acid molecule made between a adenoviral mrna and its template dna in the electron mIcroscope

Sharp (1993 Nobel Prize winner) made their amazing discovery of the existence of split genes in the adenovirus, when they examined a hybridized nucleic acid molecule made between a adenoviral mRNA and its template DNA in the electron microscope

Medical Genetics They observed that the mRNA was much shorter in length and thus was not encoded as an equal colinear segment of the DNa molecule. Instead, large loops of unhybridized dNa (A, b and c in figure) were seen. Their interpretation was that the mature messenger rNa was derived from four discontinuous segments on the viral dna
