Question
Chapter 13, Problem 44RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the statement, “Sometimes, knowing the DNA sequence of a gene that codes for a protein does not tell the amino acid sequence,” is to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Polymerase chain reaction or PCR is the process that is used to make multiple copies of DNA. It helps in DNA fingerprinting.
DNA fingerprinting is useful in the sequencing of DNA.
DNA fingerprinting can be done by using the Sanger method.
DNA contains introns (noncoding sequence) and exons (coding sequence).
