damaged DNA causes errors during transcription. This process can result in a population of mutant transcripts that could ultimately result in an altered cellular phenotype. The cell is equipped with mechanisms to combat such DNA damage. However, if the damage is not repaired before replication it can induce a permanent mutation in the cell’s genome, an event known as replicational mutagenesis. When this occurs the mutation is passed along to every subsequent daughter cell, thus completing the cycle of

Amanda Dodson, Senior Capstone Seminar About 37% of U.S. adults are diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), which is the combination of metabolic risk factors including insulin resistance,
on chromosome 17 and it affects women more than men. Though there are risks for men as well. There are two copies of this gene in everyone. One of the genes comes from the mother and the other comes from the father. If one of the parents have the harmful variant of the gene, their child has a fifty percent chance of inheriting the harmful variant. This is due to humans having 46 chromosomes in a cell that are divided by 23 pairs. The BRCA 1 protein helps to fix strands breaks in damaged DNA cells
