D: Deoxyribose (Sugar) N: Nucleic (Base) A: Acid (Phosphate Group) Base Pairing: G-C A-T https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiiF VSvLfGE
DNA Replication - RNA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qSr meiWsuc
Environment can switch genes on or off . Examples: Rabbit, Child
Causes: Mutagens Radiation: X-rays, UV Rays Chemicals: Asbestos, Formaldehyde
Types Duplication: DNA segment REPEATED Deletion: DNA segment lost Inversion: DNA order reversed
Disorders Down Syndrome: Trisomy 21. Characteristics: short height, round face, enlarged or creased tongue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GieZ 3pk9YVo
