Transfer RNA or tRNA is also called the adapter molecule. It carries the specific amino acids to be added to the polypeptide chain and reads the... View Article
The main function of RNA polymerase is to transcribe RNA using DNA as a template. Further reading: DNA Polymerase RNA Splicing Polygenic... View Article
DNA replication is highly accurate but still, it is not perfect. DNA polymerase removes mismatched nucleotides by 3’→5’ exonuclease activity,... View Article
DNA replication occurs in the nucleus and cytoplasm of a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell, respectively. Further reading: DNA Polymerase... View Article
The main goal of DNA replication is to make a copy of DNA so that at the time of mitosis each cell gets an equal amount of DNA. Further... View Article
Replication occurs only in the 5’ to 3’ direction as the incoming nucleotide undergoes nucleophilic attack by the 3’ hydroxyl group of the... View Article
Replication is the process of DNA duplication in the cell. It occurs inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell during the S phase of the cell... View Article
Recombinant DNA technology is used to insert the desired gene into an organism. It is used in various fields such as agriculture, medicine, e.g.... View Article
Homologous recombination occurs during meiosis when a pair of homologous chromosomes cross over leading to recombination in the prophase 1 stage.... View Article
Yes, recombination increases genetic diversity in a species. Also Check: Do Prokaryotes Have Mitosis or Meiosis? Meiosis takes place in... View Article
Genetic recombination increases variation among the population, which makes a population better survive environmental stresses. Recombination... View Article
Recombination plays an important role during evolution. It results in many different combinations of alleles and makes a species better adapted... View Article
