DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROKARYOTIC DNA REPLICATION AND EUKARYOTIC DNA.

  • EUKARYOTIC DNA REPLICATION:
  1. Due to the large size of eukaryotes, they posses 25 times more DNA.
  2. Eukaryotic cells have multiple point of origin and they use unidirectional replication within the nucleus of the cell.
  3. Eukaryotic cells have four or more types of polymerase.
  4. Replication of eukaryotic cells is slower taking up to 400 hours.
  5. .Eukaryotes have a distinct process for replicating the telomeres at the ends of their chromosomes.
  6. Eukaryotic cells only undergoes DNA replication during the S-phase of the cell cycle.


                        
  • PROKARYOTES DNA REPLICATION:

  1. Due to its small size, they have very minimal/little DNA.
  2. Prokaryotes cells have a single point of origin and replication takes place in two opposite directions at the  same time and it takes place in the cell cytoplasm.
  3. Prokaryotes cells possess one or two types of polymerases.
  4. Replication in prokaryotes cells is faster, taking up to 40 minutes.
  5. Prokaryotes have circular chromosomal DNA therefore they do not have any ends to synthesize.    
  6. Replication in prokaryotes takes place almost continuously.

Plant DNA extraction - CTAB Method

Image
  Plant DNA extraction - CTAB Method   An extraction of DNA from plant samples using c tab method 100 ml of setup lysis purple can be prepared using this description after collection of plant samples i have to measure 200 milligram and grind it with liquid nitrogen then transfer all ground plant samples into an append of tube and add 700 microliters of sit up lysis buffer vortex the mixture then incubate at 65 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes in a water bath after incubation centrifuge samples at 10 000 rpm for 10 minutes after centrifuge transfer supernatant to a clean tube and add an equal volume of chloroform and isoamyl alcohol after addition of chloroform and iso-mine alcohol mix it well using vortex and centrifuge at 10 000 rpm for 10 minutes after centrifuge you will see an aqueous upper layer and an organic bottom layer now transfer the aqueous layer to a clean tube while transferring the quest layer...

Separation of Photosynthetic Pigments by Chromatography

Image
How you can separate leaf pigments by a process known as chromatography?  In this example I'm going to use spinach leaves so the first step is for you to obtain your plant that contains the pigments you wish to separate break up one of the leaves and de little pieces and place it in a mortar add a few drops of acetone and a little bit of sand as this helps with grinding up the leaves use the pestle mortar to grind up the leaves and to release the pigments if it helps here  you can add a few more drops of acetone but ultimately the objective is to obtain a concentrated pigment in a liquid at the bottom of the mortar. Chromatography Paper after you've done this then you need to prepare your chromatography paper now this does actually work best with thin layer chromatography paper but you can also use regular chromatography paper to prepare you're going to obtain a pencil and it is important that it's a pencil not a pen because a pen contains other pigments use the pencil ...

POST TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION

Image
 Post Translational Modification Protein after or during translation undergo several modifications to become functional, which are discussed as under: During and after its synthesis a polypeptide chain begin to coil and fold spontaneously forming a functional protein of specific conformation. A gene determines primary structure, and primary structure in turn determines conformation. In many cases, chaperone proteins help the polypeptide to fold correctly. Additional steps such as post-translational  modifications may be required before the protein can begin doing its particular job in the cell. Enzymes may remove one or more amino acids from the leading (amino) end of the polypeptide chain .In some cases, a single polypeptide chain may be enzymatically cleaved into two or more pieces. For examples, the protein insulin is first synthesized as a single polypeptide chain, but becomes active only after an enzyme exercise a central part of the chain leaving a protein made up of ...
