@HAEdOutreach THanks sooooo much!!

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach do we use RNAi or some method like that? #GeneChat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach How many of our 20k-ish genes do we know the functions for? #GeneChat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach What happens on the genetic level when a genetic chimera is formed? #GeneChat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach chimerism..they say

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach Does chromosome # matter in the time it takes to sequence a genome?
#GeneChat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach ooohhhh, you've got em thinking

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach What is the most common misconception people have about DNA? #GeneChat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach Why do we use adenine for our energy molecule? Why not cytosine? #GeneChat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach So, what's with introns anyway? We just cut em out. Why do we have them #GeneChat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach Are people born with different telomere lengths? #DNADay17 #GeneChat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach In fetal development, when does apoptosis stop? #GeneChat #DNADaychat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach Is there research re telomerase and longer life span? #GeneChat #DNADay17

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach What causes telomerase to stop working when the fetus is formed? #DNADay17 #GeneChat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach What is the range of # of genes on human chromomsomes? #DNADay17

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach so, could we make an organism from that?#genechat

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach Does chromosome # indicate levels of evolution? #genechat #DNADay17

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach S asked: Can DNA be 100% synthetically made? Will that be possible in the future?#genechat #dnaday

[Mary Busbee @mary_busbee]

@HAEdOutreach Vestavia High School AP Bio 6th period is here!!! #GeneChat #DNADay17
