How is the lysis buffer used in the process of DNA extraction?

The lysis buffer is used in DNA extraction to break down the cell membrane and release the DNA from the cell. It contains chemicals that disrupt the cell structure, allowing the DNA to be isolated and purified for further analysis.


What is a vector used for in a genetic engineering experiment?

"Vector" is an agent that can carry a DNA fragment into a host cell. If it is used for reproducing the DNA fragment, it is called a "cloning vector". If it is used for expressing certain gene in the DNA fragment, it is called an "expression vector".


What is the primary organelle used for storing information in a cell?

The primary organelle used for storing information in a cell is the nucleus. It contains the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA, which carries instructions for the cell's functions and characteristics.


Which part of a blood cell is used for DNA profiling?

The DNA in the nucleus, although this would need to be a white blood cell as red blood cells have no nucleus, instead using the space to store oxygen.


What is used to direct proteins synthesis in the cell?

Sequences of nitrogenous bases in the cell's DNA.


What does shampoo do in DNA extraction?

Shampoo in DNA extraction is used to lyse (break open) cell membranes to release the DNA. The detergent in the shampoo disrupts the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, allowing the DNA to be extracted and purified.


Why is DNA the boss cell?

DNA is not a cell.


Is DNA a cell or not a cell?

DNA is a chemical compound. It forms the largest single molecules inside cells (and most viruses) and stores the information used to make and operate the cell.


Why is DNA important to the cell?

DNA is the blueprint for cells. Used to reproduce for both single cell organisms and multicell orgainisms. In multi cell orgainisms, DNA is used to determine how the organism will turn out. DNA makes every organism unique. Every cell has the same DNA. The information provided by DNA tells cells what to do. It is responsible for the cells' functions.


What DNA is found in the cell nucleus?

there is no DNA in the cell nucleus however the cell nucleus is important to replicating a cell in DNA strand. (it supprots the chromatin that replicates the DNA)


What is the difference between the target cell DNA and source DNA?

DNA is deoxyribo nucleic acid chains. If the DNA is taken from a source such as a micro organism or a plant is known as source DNA. Targe cells are where your construct is going to be transfected, target cells posses their own target cell DNA.


What does DNA do in cell?

DNA carries the genetic information and instructions for the cell's functions. It serves as a blueprint for making proteins, which are essential for cell structure and function. DNA also replicates itself during cell division to pass on genetic information to daughter cells.
