Dolphins produce a variety of vocalizations, usually in the form of clicks and whistles. Dolphins are sometimes hunted in places like Japan, in an activity known as dolphin drive hunting. Besides drive hunting, they also face threats from bycatch, habitat loss, and marine pollution.
The DNA sequence of a gene can be altered in a number of ways. Gene mutations have varying effects on health, depending on where they occur and whether they alter the function of essential proteins. The types of mutations include:his type of mutation is a change in one DNA base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene.
Genetic Transformation. Genes can be cut out of human, animal or plant DNA and placed inside bacteria and the bacteria will produce the âforeignâ protein coded for by the gene. * * * * * When genes from one organism are transferred into the DNA of another organism In this lab, we will transform bacteria, giving it the ability to make fluorescent proteins. These are proteins that absorb light at one wavelength (color) and re-emit the light at a different wavelength, or color.
