EXPLAIN THE CENTRAL DOGMA OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY USING YOUR GENE/PROTEIN/TRAIT EXAMPLE.

  1. Go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene
  2. You can either search for a human genetic disease or condition of your choice or you can chose from the list of examples below*. When searching for a disease or condition you may find multiple involved genes. I recommend clicking on the link to a few genes, read the summary and pick the one that is easiest to understand. You may also want to do a web-search to find additional (potentially easier to understand) information about your example. Please try to pick a disease/condition, or at least a gene, not yet described in the discussion by other students (post early if you want to research a specific condition).

*Examples: Huntingdon’s Disease, Muscular Dystrophy, Breast Cancer, Cystic Fibrosis, Albinism, Color Blindness, Parkinson’s Disease, Hemophilia, Sickle Cell Disease, Marfan Syndrome
3. Provide the following information for your specific example:
Name of Disease/Condition:
Name of Gene (pick one if there is multiple):
Type of mutation (s) identified in this gene:
Gene located on Chromosome #:
Name of Protein coded for by this gene:
Role of Protein:
Resulting Trait (symptoms) from mutation:
References used:
4. Explain the central dogma of molecular biology using your gene/protein/trait example.
Hint: When considering the role of this particular protein, does it make sense that a mutation in the gene that disrupts the production of the protein result in this particular trait? Or in other words, is there a clear connection between the role of the protein and the resulting trait?
Part II Punnett Square 

  • Pick one dominant or recessive trait found in your family (do a web-search for dominant/recessive human traits, keep in mind that most of our traits are notcontrolled in a simple dominant/recessive manner).
  • What is your phenotype for this trait? What is your likely genotype for this trait?  What is your parents/siblings and/or (if you have) children’s phenotypes for this trait?
  • Show a likely/potential Punnett Square for this trait in your family.
  • If you are adopted or otherwise do not know the phenotype of one or both of your parents for this trait, you can make up an example.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF EVOLUTIONARY THEORIES ROOTED IN BIOLOGY?

Before reading further you have to acces to the book by Jonathan H. Turner “Theoretical Sociology a Consise Introduction to Twevle Sociological Theories”
If you do not access to this book please do not bother asking to do this assignment. All of work have to come from that book plus i will attach some powerpoints.
 
1. Do you think that DuBois’ concept of double consciousness still applies to racial/ethnic minorities today? Why, or why not?
 
2. What are the strengths and limitations of structural functionalism?
 
3.What are the advantages and limitations of evolutionary theories rooted in biology?
 
 
4. Analyze one of your social roles (student, worker, parent, child, etc.) using a dramaturgical approach. Make sure to identify which theory you are using, and use various of its elements and/or propositions.
 
5. Use one of the models of conflict theory to explain the development of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement, and its failure. Make sure to identify the model you are using.
 
Additional instructions each question have to be 150-250 words no direct quotes form the book
 
The point is to show you understand each theory, in your own words, without distorting the theorists’ ideas.
