What is the function of the chromatain?
The chromatain have four major functions. They package DNA into a smaller volume to fit in the cell. They strengthen the DNA to allow mitosis, and they prevent damage to DNA. Chromatain control gene expression and DNA replication.
What are four charactoristics of eubacteria?
eubacteria lack a nucleus, lack histones in their DNA, have no membrane bound organelles, and their DNA is in a circular form.
Describe the function of electricity and the agarose gel in electrophoresis?
The electricity pulls the polar DNA strands through the gel, and shorter DNA strands move farther because they are less inhibited by the gel. The gel acts as drag to separate the different length DNA strands, so different DNA creates specific dye bands.
What is the function of primers?
RNA primers are used to initiate the DNA replication at the template strand. DNA molecules require a free 3' OH, to which it could add the nucleotides. This free 3' OH is provided by the RNA primer. So prior to the synthesis of DNA a short fragment of RNA is synthesized that is later excised and filled with DNA molecules.
Which series is arranged in order from largest to smallest in size 1chromosome nucleus cell DNA nucleotide?
cell, nucleus, chromosome, DNA, nucleotide
