SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT GENE

.Look closely at thechromosomes and you'd see that each is made of bundles of looping coils. Believeit or not, if you took all of the DNA in all of your cells and laid it out endto end, it would stretch to the moon and back about 130,000 times.These chromosomes arebasically an instruction set for the construction and maintenance of... We find evidence for shared hotspots ofrecombination among the LCRs. REP19 seems to contain hotspots in the same placeas the nonallelic recombination hotspots in NF1REPa and NF1REPc. And why are proteinsimportant? Well, for starters, you are made of proteins. 50% of the dry weightof a cell is protein of one form or another. But the genes in your DNA don'tmake protein directly. Like DNA, RNA is a long strand of nucleotides.This transcribed RNA iscalled messenger RNA, or mRNA for short, because it leaves the nucleus andtravels out into the cytoplasm of the cell. There, protein factories calledribosomes translate the mRNA code and use it to make t
