Front

What is RFLP?

Back

RFLP stands for Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, a technique used to differentiate between DNA genotypes.

Front

What is PCR?

Back

PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction, a method used to amplify a specific segment of DNA, making millions of copies.

Front

What is the purpose of using micropipettes in a lab?

Back

Micropipettes are used to accurately measure and dispense small volumes of liquid samples.

Front

How do you expel all liquid from a micropipette?

Back

You depress the plunger all the way down.

Front

What does the setting on a micropipette indicate?

Back

The setting indicates the volume of liquid that the micropipette will dispense.

Front

What is plaque in the context of health?

Back

Plaque is an accumulation of fatty substances, like cholesterol, on the walls of arteries.

Front

What is the significance of gel electrophoresis?

Back

Gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA fragments based on their size.

Front

What role do restriction enzymes play in DNA analysis?

Back

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

Front

What is the first step before performing RFLP?

Back

The first step is to use PCR to amplify the DNA.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for micropipette volume?

Back

Micropipette volume is typically measured in microliters (uL).
