Bio Term Electroporation is A method for transferring DNA (or other small molecules) into cells by exposure to a rapid pulse of high voltage, which causes the transient formation of small pores in the cell membrane.Bio Term copy-choice hypothesis is An incorrect hypothesis that stated that recombination resulted from the switching of the DNA-replicating enzyme from one DNA homologue to the other.
Bio Term cytoplasm is the entire contents of the cell, exclusive of the nucleus, and bounded by the plasma membrane.
Bio Term Ethidium bromide is A fluorescent chemical that intercalates between base pairs in a double stranded DNA molecule. Commonly used to detect DNA following gel electrophoresis. Ethidium bromide intercalates between the stacked bases of DNA and RNA. When excited by UV light between 254 nm (short wave) and 366 nm (long wave) it emits fluorescent light at 590 nm. Due to the decreased rotation possible when it is intercalated, the DNA-ethidium bromide complex produces about 50 times more fluorescence than free ethidium bromide. When ethidium bromide stained gels are photographed on a UV transilluminator a UV filter is required to screen out the background UV from the transilluminator. Ethidium bromide is a known carcinogen.
Bio Term consanguineous is Meaning between blood relatives ; usually refers to inbreeding or incestuous matings.
