threads called chromatin‚ which is indistinct in the nondividing cell‚ but it condenses to chromosomes at the time of cell division. This is where the DNA resides. The most prominent structure in the nucleus is the nucleolus which produces ribosomal RNA or rRNA. Multicellular organisms consist of many cells that are specialized for one particular function and carry it out very efficiently. The labor in a eukaryotic cell is divided with each part of the cell doing its job so as to ensure the survival

For the last few decades‚ and as long as many adults can remember‚ the view of gene inheritance has been written in the four letter language of DNA. Genetic mutations and re-combinations have driven most descriptions of how phenotypic traits are handed down from one generation to the next (The American Association for the Advancement of Science). Researchers and physicians attempted to untangle and discover the clues that suggested gene function could be altered by more than just changes in sequence

sequence of their ribosomal RNA subunits. In addition‚ recent studies have shown that archaebacterial RNA polymerases resemble the eukaryotic enzymes‚ not the eubacterial RNA polymerase. Archaebacteria also have introns in some genes‚ an advanced eukaryotic characteristic that was previously unknown among prokaryotes. In eukaryotic cells‚ the initial messenger RNA (M-RNA) transcribed from the DNA (gene) is modified (shortened) before it leaves the nucleus. Sections of the M-RNA strand called introns are

Carbohydrates can be used for storage or energy or even for structure‚ such as the cellulose that makes up the plant cell wall. • Nucleic Acids - RNA and DNA‚ the monomers of both of them are nucleotides and nucleic acids are used to

Definition: Epigenetics are the changes in the gene expression which are not caused by changes in the DNA sequences‚ meaning it a change in the phenotype but not the genotype. It is the study of the genes that are possibly inheritable. The environment you live in plays a key role in epigenetics and how your genes are expressed. How does epigenetics have anything to do with digestion? A chemical tag is something that can alter a gene expression. It attaches onto the DNA and blocks transcription.

The two main microarray systems are spotted DNA and oligonucleotide arrays (4); there are others with various difference but all are essentially derived from the same simple design (3). Messenger RNA from the cells of interest is first converted into cDNA which is then labeled with a fluorescent probe and incubated with the microarray where hybridization occurs; positions of hybridization are detected with a scanning-laser microscope (1).

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA? DNA is composed of two polynucleotide strands wound together into a structure known as a double helix. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar base .Nucleotides form together creating a sugar phosphate backbone to each strand. There are three forms of DNA that differ significantly. The most common‚ B form‚ is the structure most people have heard of. It consists of the right
