What assembles short sequences of DNA?
DNA Synthesizer
What kind of DNA are oligonucleotide?
Oligonucleotides are short strands of DNA or RNA that typically consist of 10-30 nucleotides. They can be designed to bind specifically to target DNA or RNA sequences, making them useful for molecular biology research, diagnostics, and therapeutic applications.
Which enzyme synthesizes a short RNA primer at the beginning of each origin of replication?
DNA polymerase III can add nucleotides only to a chain of nucleotides that is alreadypaired with the parent strands. Hence, DNA polymerasecannot link the first nucleotides in a newly synthesizedstrand. Instead, another enzyme, an RNA polymerasecalled primase, constructs an RNA primer, a sequence ofabout 10 RNA nucleotides complementary to the parentDNA template. DNA polymerase III recognizes the primerand adds DNA nucleotides to it to construct the new DNAstrands. The RNA nucleotides in the primers are then replacedby DNA nucleotides.
What process involves using primer and Taq in detemining whether a person has a certain mutant gene?
The process used is PCR = Polymerase Chain Reaction. PCR used Taq polymerase - an enzyme that adds nucleotides to a primer and brings about the formation of new double stranded DNA. Primers are short sequences of nucleotides that bind to the mutant gene and allow the Taq polymerase to function. The ultimate result of the process is the amplification (creation of several million copies) of the mutant gene. In the absence of the mutate gene, these copies would not be created since the primers do not have anywhere to bind to.
Why is it called a RNA primer?
The RNA primer is referred to a short RNA fragment into which are added deoxyribonucleotides by DNA polymerase III during DNA replication. The primer stimulates the synthesis of the new chain by participating in the initiation of polymerization of the desoxyribonucleotides. In nucleic acid chemistry, a primer can be a short, either single-stranded RNA or DNA, segment that functions as the starting point for the polymerization of nucleotides.

Is RNA made up of nucleotides?
Yes, RNA molecules are made of nucleotides.
Is phosphodiester bonds used to link nucleotides?
In short, yes. Phosphodiester bonds are found in both DNA and RNA linking nucleotides between the 5' carbon atom and the 3' carbon of their respective sugar rings.

Can you arrange the following in order from largest to smallest in size DNA NucleotideNucleuscell chromosome?
From smallest to largest: DNA (where DNA = short sequences of nucleotides) gene chromosome nucleus sperm cell
What is a short?
As a noun, a short can refer to either a short circuit or a short movie.
What are short tandem repeats?
A short tandem repeat or STR is a type of polymorphism, where short sequences of DNA are repeated. It is a useful tool in forensics because the number of times a DNA sequence is repeated for a given STR varies between individuals.
Was is a short a?
No. The A has either a short U or a short O sound (wuz, woz).
What are the main disadvantages of cloning?
There have been problems with cloning. Mainly due to a short life or defects. Cloning does not allow natural selection. Defects will continue and may be amplified.
