In humans, the diploid chromosome number is 46, or 2n. The molecule that encodes genetic information. A molecular technique for binding specific segments of single stranded DNA or RNA through base pairing with complementary sequences of single stranded DNA molecules attached or trapped on a nitrocellulose filter. DNA probe DNA, RNA or protein molecule labeled with radioactivity or other tracer, used to identify its complementary sequence by molecular hybridization. The use of existing DNA within a cell as a template for synthesis of new DNA strands.
Replication occurs in the cell nucleus.
These molecules pass through a medium, either agarose or polyacrylamide gels, through retraction by an electronic charge. These molecules travel at a different rate through the medium depending on the electrical charge and size of the molecule. The science of improving humanity by encouraging breeding of those presumed to have the most desirable genes, thereby altering the genetic composition of that society. Exon The protein coding DNA sequence of a gene. Also used to identify fragments of chromosome markers.
