Front

What is DNA Fingerprinting?

Back

A technique used to identify individuals based on their unique DNA profiles.

Front

Why is DNA Fingerprinting effective?

Back

Because no two people, except identical twins, have exactly the same DNA.

Front

What percentage of cytosine would be present if guanine makes up 19% of DNA?

Back

19% (due to base pairing rules: A=T and G=C).

Front

What is the primary goal of gene editing in agriculture?

Back

To increase crop yield and resistance to pests.

Front

What ethical concern is associated with gene editing technologies like CRISPR?

Back

The potential for creating designer babies.

Front

What charge does DNA carry?

Back

DNA is negatively charged.

Front

What is gel electrophoresis used for?

Back

To separate DNA fragments based on size.

Front

How do DNA fragments move in gel electrophoresis?

Back

They move towards the positive electrode due to their negative charge.

Front

What is the role of agarose gel in electrophoresis?

Back

It acts as a medium to separate DNA fragments.

Front

What is gene editing?

Back

A method to alter the DNA of an organism.
