What role does complementary base-pairing play in DNA replication?
The base-pairing during transcription is the same as when DNA replicates, except that RNA has uracil instead of thymine.
what substance was needed to join the insulin gene to the bacterial DNA?
Technically it is not a substance, but the DNA itself. Let me explain. When the insulin gene is cut out of a regular strand, it is done through a DNA ligase (a cutting enzyme). The SAME ligase is used to cut the bacterial loop of DNA. When ligase cuts DNA sticky ends are left. These sticky ends are, as they say, sticky, and will readily join to new bases with the corresponding (complementary) base pair sequence. As the same ligase is used, the corresponding base sequence is inside the bacterial DNA, so they should connect together.
What makes up the middle of a DNA molecule?
The nitrogen bases make up the center of the two strands of a DNA molecule.
What are cryptic plasmids and their properties?
Cryptic plasmids are plasmids that have no known function. They occur in a number of bacterial species. A plasmid is a circular loop of DNA, found, for the most part in prokaryotic cells (bacteria). It is much smaller than the single chromosome. Most bacterial plasmids fall into two main groups. There are relatively few copies per cell of large plasmids, with about 100,000 base pairs. These have enough genes to encode approximately 100 polypeptide chains. There are rather more copies of smaller plasmids that have around 10,000 or fewer base pairs (enough to code for up to about 10 genes). At least some cryptic plasmids have been found to contain replication genes.

Culture medium used for any campylobacter?
There are many media which can be used to grow campylobacter some are;Preston media aka Bolton media, Campylobacter agar base, Skirrow's media, Karmali agar, and Columbia blood agar.
Is tonsillitis bacterial?
It can be either bacterial of viral. Your doctor will do a strep test and possibly a throat culture to determine the cause. If either is positive, that means that the tonsillitis is caused by bacteria. Penicillin or another broad base antibiotic will then be prescribed. If viral, there isn't a whole lot one can do except wait it out and try to relieve symptoms.

What is a carpet?
Is a base material with fibres weaved or sewn into the base material such as hessian. This is then used to cover floors for warmth and style.

What reasons why some pressure groups largely base their campaigns on media coverage?
Because media coverage is free.
If you are told that a material is a base what does that tell about the pH of the material?
The pH is greater than 7
Is a slippery material more likely to be acid or a base?
Slippery is one characteristic of a base. ;)
What is the importance of media planning?
The importance of media planning is knowing exactly where the customer base is and how to market the product to them. This can be done through television, radio, internet, or other media.
