Cancer is a disease of the genome. And that’s what happens. You make mistakes in a cell somewhere in your body that causes it to start to grow when it should’ve stopped, and that’s cancer. And those mistakes are mistakes of DNA. Francis Collins What is Base Excision Repair or BER? […]

Difference Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Translation
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Translation Prokaryotic Vs Eukaryotic Translation: Translation is the process of protein synthesis in the cells. It is the second step in genetic expression in which the ribosomes decodes the information present in mRNA to synthesize proteins according the sequence of codons present in them with different amino […]

Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Transcription Prokaryotic Vs Eukaryotic Transcription: Transcription is a process by which the genetic information present in the DNA is copied to an intermediate molecule (RNA). The sequence in the RNA is complementary to that of the gene which is transcribed and thus the RNA retains the same […]

Molecular Biology MCQ-01: DNA repair is a cellular process that ensures the integrity and stability of the DNA molecule. The DNA in our cells can be damaged by various factors, including environmental agents such as radiation and chemicals, as well as internal cellular processes. If left unrepaired, DNA damage can […]
