In this lab, we'll be using PCR to make many copies of a small region of your personal DNA genome. It is a very bad idea to touc

Sounds like a trick question.

Maybe not. contamination is easy, but gloves are a barrier between other organic material on yourself (such as what you ate for lunch) and what you are testing.

Other than the fact your DNA will be different than another person’s DNA, if we assume you are theoretically free of debris of any kind, then your DNA would test the same always.

Note: any contamination after purifying extract for a small sequence can give false positives. There are repeat sequences possible that would interfere if you are testing a small enough sequence.

I hope that helps!

While mRNA strands are being created a sequence is sometimes miscopied. What is the best possible outcome for the cell should th
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The best possible outcome for the cell in the event of mis-copied mRNA is for the mis-copied sequence to code for the same amino acid as the correct sequence would have done

Explanation: The process of transcription during which the message in DNA is transcribed as genetic codes into mRNA is sometimes not error proof. Synthesized mRNA is usually transported into the cytoplasm where the codes are translated into protein.

Each genetic code which is usually a sequence of 3 purine/pyrimidine bases codes for an amino acid. However, due to the degenerate nature of the genetic codes, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. The degenerate nature is caused by the fact that there are 64 possible codons and there are 20 amino acids in nature. For example, UUA, UUU and UUG can be coding for the same amino acid in nature.

Hence, if a mistake occur during transcription, the best possible scenario for the cell is that the mis-copied sequence will end up coding for the same amino acid(s) as the correct correct sequence would.
