What is the coding region in DNA transcription?
The coding region of a gene is that portion of a gene's DNA or RNA, composed of exons, that codes for protein. The coding region of an organism is the sum total of the organism's genome.
What is the difference between coding DNA and junk DNA?
Junk DNA is non-coding DNA it does not code for protein.
How are humans are nearly identical genetically in coding sequences but have unique DNA fingerprints?
Small nucleotide polymorphisms is one way that you get unique genetic fingerprints. Small stretches of DNA that can be in the non-coding region and are just random differences in neutral coding errors. Google SNPS.
What is DNA coding?
junk DNA
Manipulating the arrangement of DNA that makes up a gene is called?
Genetic engineering
What does a long sequence of base pairs code for?
Coding DNA is DNA that "codes" for protein creation. DNA is NOT strictly speaking a code however, it's more like a 3D reverse template for the protein. The component chemicals coalesce from the cell's plasma against the coding DNA much like a lot of non-biological catalyzation. When the protein is completed it peels off and does whatever that protein does.By contrast, non-coding DNA functions in ways other than direct protein synthesis. Some of these functions are being learned, but others are currently unknown. And it is likely that some of the non-coding sections of DNA are "Junk" DNA, ie DNA that does literally nothing.Junk DNA and non-coding DNA often mutate much faster than coding DNA for the simple reason that mutations in coding DNA are usually fatal.
Is most of the DNA is humans coding DNA?
No - only a small part of human DNA is coding DNA. About 3% of DNA is genes. These are the sequences that code for a functional unit (like protein).
Why do forensic labs analyze non-coding DNA and not genes?
Coding DNA or exons are varying among individuals. But non-coding DNA doesn't vary among individuals and they don't carry information about gene expression patterns. Therefore, non-coding DNA is used in forensic analyses.
Is all DNA considered coding DNA?
No - only the parts of DNA that code for a functional product, like protein, are considered coding DNA. This is only a small amount of DNA - about 3% in humans.
What does it meant by 'addition' in recombinant DNA?
Addition in recombinant DNA means to remove non coding or non functional DNA and inserting the functional or coding seuence.
What is the actual coding DNA?
Chromesoines
Is a gene a distinct region of a long protein molecule?
No. It is a distinct region of a DNA molecule.
