Messenger RNA

Introduction: Bacteria are very diverse and are part of the prokaryotic domain. Some bacteria can be harmful, but others can also be beneficial in many ways. There are bacteria everywhere on Earth; places that you would think would have bacteria, like your gastrointestinal tract or our skin (Wenner, 2007). Although bacteria are small in size and are a simple cell organism, it is essential to life. There are different ways in how to distinguish and classify bacteria. One way is you can look…

PCR is a common practice used to amplify a certain region of DNA. In this experiment, PCR was used to amplify the 16S ribosomal RNA gene of the bacteria. This locus was used because it is one that evolves slowly in bacteria. A Taq polymerase is used for this PCR because of the temperatures the reaction goes through. The16S rRNA primers used in this PCR, are complimentary to sequences…

quickly carries the process out. The base of DNA may be any one of the four types in a nucleotide: thymine(T), guanine (G), cytosine (C), or adenine (A). The double strand of DNA is held together by hydrogen bonds. Ribonucleic Acid better known as RNA is a protein single strand composed of molecules and its nucleotides contain ribose. This is another type of nucleic acid that includes sugar ribose rather…

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that takes part in protein synthesis. The nucleic acid has molecules that are big. Nucleotides has phosphorus, atoms, hydrogen and oxygen that creates them. Each nucleotide has ribosome or deoxyribose. DNA is the genetic material of a cell that has a repeating chain of five-carbon sugars connected together. It has four organic bases which are called nucleotides. There’s also deoxyribose which is a sugar that is in a double helix shape. DNA molecules…

generation. The purpose of transcription is to make RNA copies of individual genes that the cell can use in the biochemistry. Definition DNA replication is the replication of a strand of DNA into two daughter strands, each daughter strand contains half of the original DNA double helix. Uses the genes as templates to produce several functional forms of RNA Products One strand of DNA becomes 2 daughter strands. mRNA, tRNA, rRNA and non-coding RNA( like microRNA) Product processing In eukaryotes…

DNA fingerprinting is a test to identify and evaluate the genetic information called DNA in a person’s cells. This dna fingerprinting process was found in 1984 by a british geneticist Alec Jeffreys. The procedure she had invented for DNA fingerprinting was that it consists of first obtaining a amount of cells, such as skin, hair, or blood cells, which all contain some type of DNA. the DNA is then cut into specific points along the strand with proteins known as the restriction enzymes. The…

ydney Brenner was born in January 13, 1927 in Germiston, South Africa. Brenner’s parents were Jewish immigrants. His father was a shoe repairer and they lived in rooms that were at the back of his father’s store. Brenner started to read at a young age. One of his father’s customers, Miss Walkinshaw, encouraged Brenner’s father to allow Brenner to go to her kindergarten without charge. Brenner finished three years of primary school in one year and enrolled to local school when he was six. After…

because all of the others would still be able to code for it correctly. 2) Why is it postulated that the initial genetic code was doublets rather than triplets? Do you find the evidence convincing? Why or why not? 3) Why is it hypothesized that RNA evolved prior to DNA? Are you convinced?…

the information a cell needs to assemble protein and RNA molecules. (Talking glossary of genetic n.d.) RNA, which stands for…

human immunodeficiency virus which is the driving force behind scientists collaborating worldwide in ending and preventing this pandemic. Etiology “The primary etiologic agent of AIDS is HIV, an enveloped ribonucleic acid (RNA) retrovirus that carries its genetic material in RNA rather than DNA.” (Porth, 2015, p. 363) There are two different forms of HIV; HIV-1 and HIV-2. The human immunodeficiency virus-1 is the virus mostly…
