In the "DNA Isolation and Amplification" lab we isolated mitochondrial DNA and treated the cheek cells with Chelex, which binds

to Mg2+. Why is this important to the DNA isolation?

Answer:

Is important to inhibit the activity of DNases

Explanation:

The magnesium ions are cofactors of multiple enzymes like deoxyribonucleases also called DNases  (cut the DNA)  that helps in activating the enzymes for its functions. Chelex catches magnesium ions and inactivates the DNases. Is important in DNA isolation for the inactivation of DNases that can degrade the DNA that we want to isolate.

What is a gene? Can someone tell me what is Euchromatin? Is Euchromatin also called a Gene? What's the difference between these
julsineya [31]

Answer:

In biology, a gene is a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA.

Euchromatin is a lightly packed form of chromatin that is enriched in genes, and is often under active transcription. Euchromatin comprises the most active portion of the genome within the cell nucleus. 92% of the human genome is euchromatic.

The genes present in heterochromatin are usually inactive. The genes present in euchromatin are either already active or will be active during growth. Heterochromatin is transcriptionally-inactive. Euchromatin is transcriptionally. (This one here is the difference)

kap26 [50]

furuncles, toxic shock syndrome, and scalded skin syndrome all are caused by staphylococcus aureus.

A syndrome is a collection of related medical indications and symptoms that are frequently linked to a certain disease or disorder. The word comes from the Greek letter v, which stands for "concurrence." 1818 A condition turns into a disease when it has a known cause. Syndromes are frequently given their names from the doctor or group of doctors who first identified them or first reported the whole clinical picture.

Staphylococcus bacteria are what cause staph infections. Many healthy people frequently have these kinds of germs on their skin or in their noses. These bacteria frequently do not harm someone or only cause very small skin diseases. A genus of Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the Staphylococcaceae family of the Bacillales order is called Staphylococcus.
