Mutations

Our video shows the process of replication, transcription and translation. We explain the significance of the sequence of nitrogenous bases for coding amino acids. Through diagrams we show how a mere change in one nitrogenous base effects the entire function of the cell, which can lead to loss of control in the cell. Cigarette smoke, ultraviolet light, and nuclear radiation are all examples of mutagenic agents which can lead to the breakdown of DNA. Any substitution or deletion of nitrogenous bases can lead to production of inappropriate proteins, resulting in loss of control in cells, which could ultimately lead to cancer.

I liked the clear text on the screen. Helpful when you do a presentation to not include ALL of your text on the screen. Then your audience may listen harder.

Lots of good information, but this was more like a report than a video.

Enjoyed it.
