Q

function of DNA

A

contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things. The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information.

Q

pour cold ethanol into the mixture

A

increases the yield of DNA, low temperatures protect the DNA by slowing down the enzymes that could break it apart.

A

sugar, phosphate and bases

33
Q

describe the structure of a DNA molecule

A

twisted ladder, double helix, DNA twisted around a protein

34
Q

whats a gene

A

genes are a part of DNA that codes a series of amino acids

35
Q

describe a chromosome

A
  • made from DNA molecule
  • wound around histone (protein)
  • x and y chromosomes
  • contains genetic information
  • double helix shape
  • made from nucleotides
36
Q

diploid

A

full chromosomes number of cells (normal)

37
Q

haploid

A

half of the normal chromosome number

38

the new cells produced as a result of mitosis and meiosis

39
Q

what parts of the body do mitosis occur

A

everywhere except the ovaries, testes and red blood cells

40
Q

recombinant DNA

A

are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination to bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in the genome.

41
Q

sugar + phosphate in dna

A

The sugar phosphate backbone is an important structural component of DNA.

42
Q

double helix

A

refers to the structure formed by double-stranded molecules of nucleic acids such as DNA.
