Which part of a living organism will we find DNA to extract?
DNA can be extracted from any cell, except for sex cells. Each cell contains a full set of your DNA, with the exception of sex cells, which have half. Typically, however, it is easiest to collect DNA from the blood, skin tissue, or saliva.
Do you extract human DNA the same as animal DNA?
Yes. The DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell. It's simply a case of extracting the DNA from the cell.
How does dishwashing detergent extract DNA?
The detergent broke down the cell membranes.
Does the DNA in the skin cell have the same sequence of bases as the DNA in the brain cell of the same organism?
It is true thatÊthe DNA in the skin cell have the same sequence of bases as the DNA in the brain cell of the same organism. The sequence of the bases should be the same in all cells of an organism.
How is anything genetically modified?
Scientists have the means to extract the DNA strand from a cell. Once the DNA strand is removed, it can be altered, then placed back into the cell. When the cell divides and multiplies - the new copies will retail the altered DNA rather than having the original.
Why is it difficult to extract DNA from a cell fat tissue?
DNA isn't as easily freed from the cells with addition to dish detergent as it would be in wheat germ.
Why we can not extract DNA from RBCs?
We can not extract DNA from RBCs as they are without nucleus. only the source of DNA extraction is Leukocytes, RBCs are not good source of extraction but we can extract DNA from immature RBCs.
Where can you find DNA in a non - dividing cell?
anywhere example skin
If a skin cell has 40 micrograms of DNA during G1 how much DNA will it have during prophase?
80 micrograms
Can you surgically remove your DNA?
Yes and No. It is possible to take a cell from the body and extract its DNA for study. This is mainly used in forensic science. However you would not be able to remove all the DNA in your body as it would kill you.
What cells carry DNA?
The main cells in your body that contain DNA and RNA are your skin cells. This is because skin cells hold more then the DNA to skin. The DNA in skin also tells a person's eye color, height, hair color and bone structure. RNA in any cell is used to transfer any messages from one cell to another.
Does rubber gloves leave DNA?
Not likely. If a skin cell from your hand were to fall off and through the glove DNA could be left. Hair is also a source for DNA.
