Q

What does mapping a species geonome

plus steps thanks

A

it means determining what genes it
contains, and the location of each gene on the DNA.

  • The first step of genome mapping is to sequence the DNA (determine
    the order of bases along every chromosome)
  • The human genome has been sequenced, but mapping has not been
    completed.

Q

What are the results of electrophoresis used to construct

A

DNA
profiles

They may be displayed in an electropherogram or in a table of data.

Q

How to get the info for electropherograms

look im actually not too sure if this question relates to the info so

A
  • Special primers that are tagged with fluorescent markers are used in the
    PCR process to amplify STR regions
  • When the amplified DNA is placed into a capillary electrophoresis tube,
    the smaller STR fragments will move faster
  • The fluorescent marker enables each STR to be detected as it passes a laser beam at the end of the capillary tube.
  • The result is displayed as an electropherogram

Q

how are dna molecules different in individuals

A

DNA molecules contain repeating sequences that are highly variable between different species, and between individuals

These repeating sequences are called variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs)
