THE MOLECULAR BASIS OF INHERITANCE

RECOMBINANT DNA

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is correct in terms of determination of location of genetic traits?
A
Known protein coding sequences are too far apart to allow linkage determination for most new genes
B
Restriction sites allow DNAs to be digested
C
Protein-coding genes are always associated with restriction pattern
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fluorescence in situ hybridization (abbreviated FISH) is a laboratory technique used to detect and locate a specific DNA sequence on a chromosome.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genes carry the information that determines your traits (say: trates), which are features or characteristics that are passed on to you-or inherited-from your parents.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA initially transcribed to messenger RNA, consists of coding sequences which are called as exons which codes for proteins and non-coding sequences which are called as introns.

Detailed explanation-4: -In all organisms the genetic instructions for forming species’ characteristics are carried in the chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of a single very long DNA molecule, and each gene on the chromosome is a particular segment of that DNA. The instructions for forming species’ characteristics are carried in DNA.
