Concept explainers

Molecular techniques are methods employed in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and biophysics to manipulate and analyze nucleic acids (deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)), protein, and lipids. Techniques in molecular biology …

DNA Fingerprinting and Gel Electrophoresis

The genetic makeup of living organisms is shown by a technique known as DNA fingerprinting. The difference is the satellite region of DNA is shown by this process. Alex Jeffreys has invented the process of DNA fingerprinting in 1985. Any biological sampl…

Molecular Markers

A known DNA sequence or gene sequence is present on a chromosome, and it is associated with a specific trait or character. It is mainly used as a genetic marker of the molecular marker. The first genetic map was done in a fruit fly, using genes as the fi…

DNA Sequencing

The most important feature of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules are nucleotide sequences and the identification of genes and their activities. This the reason why scientists have been working to determine the sequences of pieces of DNA covered under …

Chapter 17.2, Problem 2LO

Students have asked these similar questions

Compare the process of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to DNA replication. Discuss three modifications of the PCR process and which enzymes/molecules these modification replace in the usual DNA replication process

Which enzyme is responsible for proofreading nucleotides during DNA replication? a nuclease b exonuclease c ligase d polymerase

Explain how cells activate nucleic acids for polymerization. Explain why DNA is stable and why its structure dictates its replication mechanism. Explain why many RNA molecules exhibit tertiary structure, while most DNA molecules do not. Explain how DNA replication occurs from structural and enzymatic perspectives. Develop an understanding of nucleic acid biology outside a natural biological context (such as PCR, etc.)
