DNA Repair Mechanisms and Types

What is dna repair mechanism? DNA repair is a collection of processes by which a cell identifies and corrects damage to the DNA molecules that encode its genome. dna repair definition Types of dna repair mechanism There are present four types of DNA Repair System such as; 1. Mismatch Repair System Enzyme participate in dna … Read more

Semiconservative Replication of DNA – Mechanism

Semiconservative Replication of DNA - Mechanism

Mode of DNA replication Imagine yourself in 1953, right after the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. What are some burning questions you and other scientists might have? One big question concerned DNA replication. The double helix shape of DNA gave a tantalising hint about how copying might happen. It seemed likely that … Read more

What are Telomeres and Telomerases?

What are Telomeres and Telomerases?

A ribonucleoprotein known as telomerase, terminal transferase adds a repeat sequence of telomeres to the 3′ end of chromosomes, the length of which varies depending on species. In most eukaryotic organisms, the chromosomal ends are capped by a repeating sequence known as a telomere. Telomeres prevent DNA damage and chromosomal fusion at the chromosome’s end. … Read more

SOS Repair – SOS Response in Bacteria

SOS Repair - SOS Response in Bacteria

What is SOS Response or SOS Repair? Definition of SOS Response or SOS Repair The SOS response or SOS repair is a cellular mechanism activated in response to DNA damage, where the cell cycle is temporarily halted to facilitate DNA repair and mutagenesis. Central to this system is the RecA protein, which, when stimulated by … Read more

Transcription In Prokaryotes – Definition, Stages, Significance

Prokaryotic Transcription Definition, Stages, Significance

Transcription refers to the process in which the information contained in the DNA strand is transformed into a new messenger RNA molecule (mRNA). In prokaryotic cells, transcription occurs in three stages called the initiation, the elongation, and the termination.

Transcription (RNA Synthesis) – Definition, Diagram, Steps, Inhibitors, Importance

DNA Transcription - RNA Synthesis

The process of DNA transcription also referred to as RNA synthesis , is the process where genetic information in DNA is transformed into messenger (mRNA) (mRNA) through an enzyme known as RNA polymerase.

RNA Polymerase – Structure, Definition, Types, and Functions

RNA polymerase Definition, Types, and Functions

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) Polymerase (RNAP) enzyme is a multi-subunit enzyme which uses its function to catalyze the transcription process RNA produced from DNA template.
