Front

What is Turner syndrome?

Back

A genetic condition resulting from the absence of one X chromosome in females, leading to various developmental issues.

Front

What is the significance of the Y chromosome in Turner syndrome?

Back

Individuals with Turner syndrome typically have no Y chromosome, which is a key characteristic of the condition.

Front

What is a 100 bp ladder in DNA experiments?

Back

A molecular weight marker used to estimate the size of DNA fragments during gel electrophoresis.

Front

What is the role of restriction enzymes in genetic experiments?

Back

Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sequences, allowing for manipulation and analysis of genetic material.

Front

What does PCR stand for?

Back

Polymerase Chain Reaction, a technique used to amplify DNA.

Front

How are PCR products analyzed?

Back

PCR products are commonly analyzed using agarose gel electrophoresis.

Front

What is the function of agarose gel electrophoresis?

Back

To separate DNA fragments based on size, allowing for visualization and analysis.

Front

What amino acid change occurs in the TAS2R38 gene for non-tasters?

Back

The change is from Alanine to Proline at codon position 785.

Front

What is the purpose of DNA amplification?

Back

To create multiple copies of a specific DNA segment for analysis or experimentation.

Front

What is the difference between tasters and non-tasters in genetics?

Back

Tasters have a specific genetic variation that allows them to taste certain bitter compounds, while non-tasters do not.
