Document Summary
Bacteria genome loop of dna; large portion made up of dna that codes for proteins; no introns; operons; dna on plasmids. Mitochondria and chloroplast endosymbiosis; dna resembles bacterial dna; ancestor prokaryote. Mitochondria genome comes from mom sperm only delivers nucleus when fertilization. Most eukaryote genomes have chromosomes in pairs homologous pair (humans have 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs) Retrovirus has rna genome, replicated using a complementary dna intermediate (make dna from. Gene duplication, then mutation in one pair. Multi-gene families rrna genes, multiple identical copies of same gene globin gene family, a cluster of several similar genes, each slightly different from the others. What polymerase adds nucleotides to extend the primer. To what end of the primer does polymerase add. Nuclease used to cut dna samples; mixture of dna fragments is produced electric field set up to pull dna shorter dna fragments move faster and are pulled faster in the gel.
