Which sections of DNA are used in DNA fingerprinting?

2 answers:

7 0

DNA fingerprinting is where DNA is used to create a profile for someone often in crimes. The STR or Short Tandem Repeats are used for this. STRs are non-coding sections of DNA which repeat themselves for example CACACACACACACACACACA the location of this STR and the length of the STR (how many times it repeats) are used to identify a specific person

Darya [45]

Answer:

Option A , Genome

Explanation:

Microarrays that contains array of single stranded DNA are used to study thousands of gene expression for all the genes of a genome and are usually termed as DNA miscroarrays. These microarrays being single stranded allows attachment of complementary DNA strand to bind to their surface. The mRNA from the cell is extracted and converted into cDNA which is further used for DNA cloning.

Hence, option A is correct

How many possible open reading frames (frames without stop codons) are there that extend through the following sequence? 5'... C

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

There are 4 reading frames without stop codons.

Explanation:

1) To find the possible reading frames you need to separate your sequence in codons (trios) for the 5'-> 3' sense, first, excluding the first nucleotide, then excluding 2 nucleotides and then not excluding nucleotides.

5'... C TTA CAG TTT ATT GAT ACG GAG AAG G... 3' NO STOP CODON

5'... CT TAC AGT TTA TTG ATA CGG AGA AGG... 3' NO STOP CODON

5'... CTT ACA GTT TAT TGA TAC GGA GAA GG... 3'

2)Then you find the complementary sequence (which you already have)

3'... GAA TGT CAA ATA ACT ATG CCT CTT CC... 5'

3'... GA ATG TCA AAT AAC TAT GCC TCT TCC... 5'

3'... G AAT GTC AAA TAA CTA TGC CTC TTC C... 5'

3) Next, you have to obtain the reverse complementary

CCT TCT CCG TAT CAA TAA ACT GTA AG NO STOP CODON

CC TTC TCC GTA TCA ATA AAC TGT AAG NO STOP CODON

C CTT CTC CGT ATC AAT AAA CTG TAA G

4)Now you need to find start (AGT in terms of DNA) and stop codons(TAA, TAG, TGA, also in terms of DNA), in 5->3 and de reverse complementary.

As you can see, you have for open reading frames that lack of stop codon, unfortunately, they also lack of AGT, the start codon.

I added a table where you can find thestart and stop codons as well as the proteins that they translate to in terms of RNA.

I hope you find this information interesting and useful, good luck!
