What is GC in java?

GC stands for garbage collector - this is the mechanism which cleans up unused object references. The GC is why memory management in Java is almost non-existent.


What are the differences between gc methods of System and Runtime Classes in Java?

There is actually no difference between System.gc() and Runtime.gc(). They both essentially invoke the JVM's Garbage Collection operation. The System.gc() is a static method so it's a little bit more convenient to use. The call System.gc() is effectively equivalent to the call: Runtime.getRuntime().gc()


When does Garbage collection occur in java?

No one can force garbage collector to free memory, A java object is subjected to garbage collection when it can not be reached by the program in which it is being used. Programmer can request for garbage collection by System.gc() but JVM doesn't guarantee that is will start immediatelyActually, the specific method for GC and how it will be run is dependent on the JVM implementation being used.For instance, Sun (now Oracle)'s Hotspot JVM has several different GC designs, one of which (the RealTime engine) can be immediately triggered via a System.gc() call. Each type of GC will have different triggers and thresholds as to when it will be run, which allows the user to pick the GC option that they think will be least disruptive and most effective for their particular application.You must read the JVM documentation for your particular VM to see what available GC options there are, how each GC method works, and what the various thresholds are.


How can you force the garbage collector to run?

You can't force it but you call System.gc(), which is a "hint" to the runtime engine that now might be a good time to run the GC. But garbage collection using this method is not guaranteed to be done immediately. there is another way to explicitly call the gc(). this method is also define in Runtime class of package java.lang. But u can not create a direct object of class Runtime like Runtime a = new Runtime(); //wrong For that u have to call the method getRuntime() which is static and it is also define in Runtime class the way to create object is Runtime run; //right run = Runtime.getRuntime(); //right now u can call the gc() through the "run " Object. like run.gc(); //right


What is a garbage collector called?

In Java it is called by the same name "Garbage Collector" The purpose of the garbage collector to free up unused heap space so that it can be utilized by the other programs. All unused objects are cleared using the GC to create space for other applications/programs.

What is the relation between melting temperature and GC content in DNA?

Primers with more GC content will affect the melting temperature. Higher GC content will have a higher melting temperature.


Which DNA nucleotide pair is most stable?

GC pairing is most stable and require maximum energy to dissoicate. This is reason that rate of DNA denaturation depends upon the GC content of DNA.


What is TM of human genomic DNA?

The Tm of DNA is dependent on the GC content of that section of DNA. The more GC rich the region of interest the higher the melting point. Determining the Tm of all 46 chromosomes in the human genome is quite a big ask.


How many base pairs are present in this segment of DNA Model?

There are 2 base pairs in a DNA strand, GC and TA

What is the percent of cytosine in a DNA?

Double Stranded DNA is paired, with Adenine paired with Thymine Cytosine paired with Guanine Then the percent Cytosine in one strand will be exactly the percent Guanine in the other strand. And between the two strands, the percent Cytosine will be equal to the percent Guanine. For a random distribution, the percent should be about 25% for each nucleotide, or 50% for the GC pair, and 50% for the AT pair. However, DNA actually varies considerably from organism to organism. Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), has a GC content as high as 72% Plasmodium falciparum has a GC content as low as 20%. See Wikipedia link on GC Content.


4 base paire cutters and 6 base pair cutters which of them will produced more fragment?

It depends. If DNA is 50% AT and 50 % GC then the probability is that 4 base pairs will cut more frequently than 6 base pair cutters (the longer the piece of DNA the more probable). However, several caveats: 1) Depends on the recognition site of enzyme (may favor cutting at AT or GC rich regions). 2) Depends on the source of DNA which can vary significantly in GC content. An example of an exception, a 6 cutter recognizing a sequence composed only of A and Ts, cutting DNA of 36% GC content is predicted to cut approximately equally as frequently as a 4-base cutter that recognizes a 4 base sequence composed only of G and Cs (cutting the same 36% GC DNA).


What nucleotides bond together in DNA?

What are the different kinds of seunce of DNA molcule?

a DNA strand can have many different types of sequences but, T (thymine) always pairs with A (adenine) and C (cytosine) always pairs with G (guanine). think of your DNA strand as a ladder. every single ladder in exactly the same in your body. the two collunms of the DNA are the strongest parts of the whole strand. the collunms are made up of deoxyribose (sugar)(D) and a phosphate group (P)the rungs of the DNA (ladder) are the T, A, G, and C. they always pair with the same one but can be mixed up. EX: P P D GC D P P D TA D P P D AT D P P D CG D P P D GC D P P this is the DNA strand flatened out. the rungs can be in any order but have to be paired up with the same one. A & T, G & C
