WHAT IS RECOMBINANT DNA So what is rDNA? It stands for Recombinant DNA. Before we get to the “r” part we need to understand DNA. DNA is the keeper of all the information needed to recreate an organism. All DNA is made up of a base consisting of sugar‚ phosphate and one nitrogen base. There are four nitrogen bases‚ adenine (A)‚ thymine (T)‚ guanine (G)‚ and cytosine (C).The nitrogen bases are found in pairs‚ with A & T and G & C paired together. The sequence of the nitrogen bases can be

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

strands of DNA double helix are separated‚ each can serve as a template for the replication of a new complementary strand‚ producing two daughter molecules each of which contains two DNA strands with an antiparallel orientation. The enzymes involved in DNA replication process are template-directed polymerases that can synthesize the complementary sequence of each strand with extraordinary fidelity. This complex leads to the local denaturation and unwinding of an adjacent A + T rich region of DNA. The interaction

Professional Abilities (the doing of ministry): The ministry of teaching is the most essential tool in the reconstruction of society. Instructing one’s brothers and sisters isn’t simply a mandate given by the Ascending Resurrected Christ‚ but a divine obligation to those who are fortunate to receive the gift of education. From the opportunity to serve as a Teaching Assist at Tennessee State University‚ I hope not only to sharpen my skills as a scholar and instructor but learn how to best serve

IS A BLESSING” – REALLY? “A multi-cultural society is a blessing”. This is an assertion alleged by many. But is it true? Does the old regulation “The more‚ the better” really count here? And what on earth is a multi-cultural society? A multi-cultural society is a society containing several representations of different cultures. To understand it better‚ we also will need to be aware of what both a society and a culture really is. According to Wikipedia‚ a society is: a population of humans characterized

DNA REPLICATION WHAT IS DNA? DNA is a molecule that has a repeating chain of identical five-carbon sugars (polymers) linked together from head to tail. It is composed of four ring shaped organic bases (nucleotides) which are Adenine (A)‚ Guanine (G)‚ Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). It has a double helix shape and contains the sugar component deoxyribose. THE PROCESS OF DNA REPLICATION How DNA replicates is quite a simple process. First‚ a DNA molecule is "unzipped". In other words‚ it

Misfortune may be an actual blessing As a Chinese proverb goes‚ “Misfortune may be an actual blessing.” I underwent some events several years ago and I learned from them. My failure in the college entrance examination and the life of university in China was a precious memory as well as a good lesson for me. Finally‚ the chance to study abroad must be the excellent choice for me. I learned from my experience that something happened unsuccessfully might not be the eventual ending‚ and a turning point

DNA is the common name for Deoxyribonucleic acid. This is made up of nucleic acids containing deoxyribose (sugar)‚ consisting of complex molecules‚ present in the chromosomes of all plant and animal cells‚ and carrying in coded form instructions for passing on hereditary characteristics. The DNA molecule takes the shape of a double helix‚ a simple structure that resembles gently twisted ladders. The rails of the ladder are made of pairs of nitrogen-containing nucleotides‚ which are subdivisions

plasmid DNA and analysis of isolated plasmid Introduction: A plasmid is an autonomously replicating extra-chromosomal genetic element. In other words‚ this is a DNA molecule external to the bacterial chromosome that is able to replicate on its own and distribute its daughter molecules to daughter cells. You have successfully cloned a fragment of chromosomal DNA containing a tetracycline resistance cassette into a plasmid (pET11a). To this end you have (1) isolated total chromosomal DNA from your

The DNA double helix model In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick made a scientific breakthrough when they discovered the structure of DNA. From this structure they inferred that DNA contains information written in a genetic code‚ is passed from one generation to the next. This discovery was to be a key step in the genetics revolution DNA has four molecular building blocks called nucleotides; adenine (A)‚ thymine (T) guanine (G) and cytosine (C). Purine base always pairs (by hydrogen bonding) with
