DNA Technology BIO/240 May 6, 2013 DNA Technology INTRO – LEE DNA Technology: Cloning, Gene Therapy, and Stem Cell Research DNA technology encompasses a wide variety of applications and because of the duplicating nature of DNA, it is easy to see how humans could benefit from its manipulation. One such technology is cloning. Cloning technology comes in three forms: recombinant DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning. Cloning Recombinant DNA cloning consists of transferring

specialized ribonucleases that degrade mRNA soon after its synthesis. C) are sequence-specific DNA endonucleases. D) are very specific proteases that cleave peptides at only certain sequences. E) catalyze the addition of a certain amino acid to a specific tRNA. Answer- C 2. Certain restriction enzymes produce cohesive (sticky) ends. This means that they: A) cut both DNA strands at the same base pair. B) cut in regions of high GC content, leaving ends that can

1.) Why is the study of bacteria important? There are many factors that contribute to the importance of bacteria. In the organismal world, bacteria play a vital role at the root of the very existence of other microorganisms as they were among the first life forms to inhabit planet Earth. Bacteria are both beneficial and harmful for the human organism and the earth that encompasses us all. The best way to explain bacteria’s importance is to categorize it in two categories: how they help, and how

advances exist to assist law enforcement officials in identifying a criminal suspect. The technological advances that continue to assist the criminal justice system in these identifications are Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) analysis, biometric identification, Intra-agency databases for DNA, fingerprinting and palm printing, and camera and wiretap surveillance. Each aspect serves a specific purpose in making certain that the right person is properly identified for the crimes that they commit. Each technological

DNA replication Name Institution 16th November, 2015 DNA DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Every strand of DNA is comprised of a sugar, a phosphate and a nitrogenous base fortified together into a structure called a nucleotide. Several nucleotides together form DNA. DNA Replication The DNA double helix is typically extremely stable: the two DNA strands are bolted together immovably by an expansive number of hydrogen bonds framed between the bases on every strand. To be utilized as a

blastomeres a) are produced by meiosis b) contain different alleles from one another c) contain different cytoplasmic chemicals d) perform lots of transcription e) repeatedly skip the S part of interphase 5. Which of the following is part of a DNA molecule? a) uracil b) amino acids c) cytosine d) polymerase e) ribose 6. The term “zygote” refers to a) a large haploid ovum prior to fertilization b) the diploid cell created by fertilization c) the entire embryo prior to gastrulation

Surname Lecturer Institution The Price of Silent Mutations Summary of the Article “Price of Silent Mutations” By Chamary, J.V. and Hurst Laurence Silent mutation can be described as an alteration of single nucleotide DNA which lies in the protein-coding region of a gene and which has no effect on the amino acid sequences coded for by the gene. For a very long time scientists believed that these types of mutations could not have an impact on a person since they do not affect the actual protein

Introduction Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most important and considered cereal crop for major part of global population. In Pakistan, wheat is most important crop of agricultural economy. It is grown each year on 8.3 million hectares that is 36% of total area cropped in Pakistan. It accounts for 40% of total value added of major crops. It is essential part of diet for population as it contributes 60% of daily diet of common masses in Pakistan. Average per capita consumption is around 125kg and
