Restriction Enzymes
                                 These enzymes are produced by bacteria. they have the ability to cleave DNA fragment a specific recognition site. They are also known as restriction endonucleases or molecular scissors. On the basis of sub unit composition, cleavage position, sequence specificity and co-factor requirements they are classified into four groups.

In gel electrophoresis DNA fragments are separated according to size. Large DNA fragments not move very far because of their large molecular size they can not travel.
In this case hybridize mean to measure the degree of genetic similarity between two pools of DNA sequence.

Purpose of DNA probe hybridization
                                                               Hybridization probe is 100-1000 bp long strand which is radioactively labelled. It is used to determine the presence of nucleotides in DNA which is complementary to sequence in DNA probe.

Compare what life would be like living with sickle cell anemia versus living with tay sachs disease
Fantom [35]
<span>If I didn't know I had tay sachs (a genetic neurodegenerative condition), I would be terrified because of what I would perceive as a dysfunction of my brain. Once I were diagnosed with it, I would know there isn't any cure or treatment. I'd know that it would cause me to have a range of issues, such as paralysis, seizures and dementia. All of these would absolutely diminish my quality of life, both physically and emotionally, and shorten it. On the other hand, the effects on me of sickle cell anemia (a red blood cell disorder) would be comparatively less severe. It is treatable and manageable through diet, exercise, medication and other measures. The main symptions are pain, swelling and fatigue. Although the quality of my life would be significantly altered, at least I would feel I had options to mitigate its effects.</span>

Sleep reactivates recent experiences stored in the ________ and shifts them for permanent storage in the cortex.
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Sleep reactivates recent experiences stored in the hippocampus and shifts them for permanent storage in the cortex. The hioppocampus is the portion of the brain that is responsible of storing of the long-term memory which would include the experiences and the pas t knowledge. It is located in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. As one sleeps, the brain would sort of replay everything that happened that day. At this time, the hippocampus and the neocortex would communicate with each other to make and store those memories. From researches, it was said that the activity of the hippocampus would increase when an individual is in a slow-wave sleep.
