Sex is determined by chromosomes. In humans, sex is determined by sex chromosomes (X and Y). Further reading: DNA Polymerase RNA Splicing... View Article
RNA polymerase I transcribe 28S, 18S, and 5.8S rRNA, whereas RNA polymerase III transcribes 5S rRNA. Further reading: DNA Polymerase RNA... View Article
The three types of RNA polymerase present in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell are RNA polymerase I, II and III, which transcribe rRNA, hnRNA and... View Article
During splicing, introns (non-coding sequence) are removed and exons (coding sequence) join together. Further reading: DNA Polymerase RNA... View Article
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
