Biology

In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Chromosomes are not visible in the cell’s nucleus—not even under a microscope—when the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division.

Reverse transcriptase use mRNA to form DNA apex

Reverse transcriptase is a broad family of enzymes that play a unique role in the flow of genetic information. The synthesis of DNA from an RNA template through reverse transcription produces complementary DNA. Reverse transcriptase use an RNA template and a short primer complementary to the 3' end of the RNA to direct the synthesis of the first strand complementary DNA, which can be used directly as a template for the Polymerase Chain Reaction.
