restriction enzymes are inserted into the nucleus of human cell. The DNA strand is then cut at specific sites (where the required AAT gene is). The enzymes are able to do this by hydrolysing the bonds between the nucleotide bases thus breaking the bonds. After the DNA has been cut by the restriction enzymes the piece of extracted DNA has sticky ends which will form complementary base pairs when the extracted gene binds with another strand of DNA. A gene promoter was added to the isolated gene so as to make

which involves plasmid DNA being bound to the cell surface and the subsequent uptake of DNA by the cell (Panja et al.‚ 2008). For artificial transformation of E. coli cells with plasmids‚ plasmid DNA has to be extracted from bacterial cells using the High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit‚ which is then mixed with competent E. coli cells followed by heat shock and the streaking of transformed cells on two different types of agar plate (LB and LB+ampicillin). The extracted plasmid DNA is important as it contains

Experiment: DNA damage and mutations in human cells when exposed to nitric oxide Aim: To examine mutations after in vitro exposure of nitric oxide to human cells. Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) is a anatomical carrier formed by various cell types. In this experiment nitric oxide is made to react with undamaged human cells and solutions of DNA‚ RNA ‚ guanine or adenine in aerobic conditions. TK6 human lymphoblastoid cells were altered. It has been observed that deamination of purines‚ pyrimidines

A. polyploidy B. increased chromosomal translocations C. increased DNA damage D. aneuploidy E. Increased apoptosis 2. Attenuation is fine tuning of gene regulation of operons for enzymes associated with anabolic (chemical building) pathways‚ such as the Trp operon for tryptophan synthesis. Which of the following

genome is a circular molecule ‚ have little non-coding DNA‚ and have their genes tightly packed with few intergenic regions between genes. Furthermore‚ mitochondria are organelles that contain a separate set of DNA from the rest of the cell and the body. Mitochondrion DNA contains 16‚569 nucleotides and contains 37 genes. These genes are all involved in the production of energy and storage of ATP. The point of this lab is to understand how DNA can mutate over

Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945. Nuclear bombs release radioactive gamma rays that severely disrupt DNA. The author‚ in this chapter‚ takes us through a journey via Tsutomu Yamaguchi‚ and presents his experiences with the nuclear bombs in Japan. He also gives the reader a breakdown of DNA from a scientific perspective. He explained the harm of radioactivity on DNA‚ “Fracturing DNA disrupts genes‚ disrupting genes halts protein production; halting protein production kills cells” (Kean‚ 2012)
