DNA gets copied to each new cell during cell division by "DNA Replication".

When there is an error during DNA replication, a "mutation" occurs.

Incorrectly paired nucleotides that still remain following the mismatch become permanent mutations after the next cell division. This is because once such mistakes are established, the cell no longer recognizes them as errors.

Template-dependent DNA synthesis takes place during DNA replication.what are the requirements for a DNA strand to act as template?

DNA strands may act as templates only during specialphase of cell cycle called S-phase, so cell should be in that phase of growth. To perform replication itself, a huge number...

Suppose the error rate during replication in human cells were the same as that of bacteria (about 10_9). How would this impact the two cells differently?

Error during replication may leads to mutations.In human cells, mutations cause genetic disorders where some may have negative impact on health or development. In bacteria, genetic mutations can help bacteria...

Genes are copied then the copy I sent outside the nucleus for translation into a protein

Copying of genes is called DNA replication. Next, during the process of transcription, the encoded information is copied to mRNA that is transported from the nucleus into the cytoplasm where...

if the DNA Polymerase III enzyme were to be able to read the DNA template in both the 3’ to 5’ and the 5’ to 3’ directions, suggest how different the DNA replication process will be?

Since DNA polymerase requires a free 3' OH group for initiation of synthesis, it can synthesize in only one direction by extending the 3' end of the preexisting nucleotide chain....

Definition of cryptic satellite DNA: A satellite DNA sequence that cannot be separated from the main-band DNA by density gradient ultracentrifugation. What's the meaning of main-band DNA.?

Main-band DNA is the DNA sequences, which do not contain the satellite DNA or other repeated sequences. It is the empirical name, which was given to bands on electrophoregram, which...

Can we possess memories passed down from our ancestors? To put it in other words : Is it possible that we possess memory molecules, formerly owned by our ancestors, stored in our brain?

Memories cannot be passed down to the offspring from the ancestors through genetic switches including DNA. Humans cannot remember horrors experienced by a grandfather during wars or hunting. No memory...
