However‚ this specificity comes at a very high risk; a single error in a base could code for a completely different amino acid‚ causing a mutation that could devastate the organism. Recently‚ scientists have discovered a new method to edit and repair DNA that could hopefully complement the

    Introduction DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) is a nucleic acid that has many names‚ each representing the phases that it undergoes (chromosomes‚ chromatin‚ genes/alleles); it resides in the nucleus (bound by 2 *phospholipid bilayers) of almost every cell in the body (red blood cells being an exception). DNA (your genotype) is double stranded and is responsible for replicating (from 46 to 92) during Interphase‚ so that mitosis can make new cells‚ repairing and allowing for growth in the body. It is

    Long stands of double helical DNA can fit into the nucleus of a single cell because DNA is specially packaged through a series of compaction events to fit easily within cell nuclei. Even though the length of DNA per cell is about 100‚000 times as long as the cell itself‚ it only takes up only about 10 percent of the cell’s volume. The DNA molecule‚ in order to condense‚ wraps itself around groups of histone proteins‚ and then the chromatin folds back on it‚ nucelosomes pack together to create a compact

    DNA is the common name for Deoxyribonucleic acid. This is made up of nucleic acids containing deoxyribose (sugar)‚ consisting of complex molecules‚ present in the chromosomes of all plant and animal cells‚ and carrying in coded form instructions for passing on hereditary characteristics. The DNA molecule takes the shape of a double helix‚ a simple structure that resembles gently twisted ladders. The rails of the ladder are made of pairs of nitrogen-containing nucleotides‚ which are subdivisions
