What is putative genetic material?

Putative genetic material is a segment of DNA whose protein and function is not known, but it is believed to be a gene based on its open reading frame (part of the reading frame that contains no stop codons).


In cell biology the nucleus pl nuclei from Latin nucleus or nuculeus meaning kernel is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells It contains most of the cell's genetic material?

What you've written is more or less true. Plural nuclei, check. Kernel, check. Membrane-bound, check. Genetic material, check. What's missing, and this is critical, is that the nucleus contains the master code, the holy grail, of grammar. Crack the nucleus and you open up a whole new world of effective communication with similar life forms. Lesser entities might resort to reading the book, don't get pulled in by this sneaky tactic; crack the code!


What question about reading DNA code did Marshall Nirenberg answer using the cell-free system?

The experiment cracked the genetic code by using nucleic acid homopolymers to translate specific amino acids. This experiment cracked the first codon of the genetic code and showed that RNA controlled the production of specific types of protein.


Why glass is not suitable cell material for use in uv spectroscopy?

because the glass will absorbed some of the uv light and will cause an inaccurate result for the experiment as the reading will be higher than the exact one.


What is happening to the genetic material jsut before a cell leaves interphase and starts prophase of cell division?

As we all know, DNA from a single cell can be more than 4cms long. This long thread is compactly winded to fit it inside a tiny nucleus.Eukaryotic cells have the DNA winded compactly with the help of special proteins called histones. DNA is wound around the histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes. Thus, with this "beads-on-string" structure, the overall length is reduced to a considerable extent. Furthermore, these strings now coil upon themselves to develop supercoils which inturn create compact chromosomes. All in all, the total length of the DNA is reduced to such a great extent that a long strand now fits inside a nucleus which is only a few nanometers in diameter (one nanometer = 109 meter).you can understand the concept further by reading more abouthistonesnucleosomesDNA supercoiling. Wikipedia has wonderful explanations on these topics.
