Connect the dots…DNA to DISEASE Project
Introduction
We’ve learned that DNA is the genetic material that organisms inherit from their parents, and that DNA encodes how to make the proteins that comes together to make life forms. We have also learned the types of mutations that may occur when the DNA produces errors in replication or when exposed to mutagens and that these mutated DNA sequences will continue to encode for proteins. When made, these proteins are shaped differently than the “normal” proteins made from non-mutated DNA and a different shape leads to different functioning. These different proteins may lead to different and non-normal traits of organisms. When these traits threaten the everyday health of an organism, humans call the complications they cause diseases.
