gene is the DNA or RNA in animals cell

Simply:\nTake sample cells from your body where a mutation is expected, and from a normal site.\n\nUse an enzyme to dissolve the cell's membrane\n\nUse alcohols to separate the DNA from the solution.\n\nTake the solution and use PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) to technically clone the DNA (make copies of it), but add in both normal and abnormal nucleotides (For both the mutated and non-mutated)\n\nPut it in a gel electrophoresis chamber and run electricity through the solution.\n\nYou can actually separate the abnormal nucleotides into specific chambers (A C G T )\n\nThe DNA fragments will separate throughout the gel and will create a pattern which shows the order of the nucleotides so you can find the specific code for the DNA.\n\nCompare the suspected mutated one to the normal cell.\n\n(It's pretty complex but that's the simple version)

Well, DNA can be found anywhere where cells are present.  This could be in the form of skin, tissue, blood, other body fluids.  One thing to take note of is just because cells are present doesn't mean you neccessarily have  DNA because DNA can degrade over time and depending on other circumstances such as temperature.   Once a substance presumed to contain DNA, the DNA would be isolated via a procedure.  The DNA may also be amplified with a PCR machine.  This DNA would then be compared to the suspect's DNA (which would be obtained through a blood sample or saliva).  It is a very complicated process and takes a lot longer to get a result than what you would see on CSI

DNA is a good source of evidence for forensic experts, for doctors to identify cancer, recently used for SARS detection, to name a few .\n\nThere are techniques which are used to detect the presence of a specific sequence in a given DNA sample. PCR  or Polymerase Chain Reaction is one of them. here we amplyfy a specific sequence of DNA of interest. if the biological sample contains that DNA sequence then its amplified and can be visualized on a electrophoretic gel. DNA being negativey charged runs on an agorose gel under electric current towards the positive electrode and gets separated based on the size...slower the movement the bulkier the fragment. \n\nforensic experts use this to match DNA samples from site of crime to the suspect. this can also be used in case of paternity disputes, to detect the predisposition of a person to cancer etc etc.\n\nthere are many more techniques which you can search

That DNA of different sizes will migrate through a gel at different speeds.\n\nDNA is charged, so applying an electric current will cause the DNA to migrate down the gel, the smaller the piece, the faster it goes.  So you can separete pieces of different lengths, or estimate the size of your band by comparing to a standard ladder.

DNA is a molecule, not a living object. It can stay there as long as it is not disturbed and swept away.

Each cell contains our DNA makeup, it is protected inside the cell from bacteria, viruses and other harmful agents.  Without DNA our body would not be able to replicate and replace the cells which make up for example our organs or skin.  We are constantly producing new skin cells to replace the ones that we shed off every second.

It can be linked to a specific person because of the DNA \nin it.

yes, all cells in/on your body carry your DNA

d(eoxyribo)n(ucleic) a(cid) \nDNA is a nucleic acid that carries the genetic info in the cell and is capable of self-replication and synthesis of RNA. DNA consists of two long chains of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and joined by hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine and guanine. The sequence of nucleotides determines individual hereditary characteristics. \n\nr(ibo)n(ucleic) a(cid) \nRNA is a  polymeric constituent of all living cells and many viruses, consisting of a long,single-stranded chain of alternating phosphate and ribose units with the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil bonded to the ribose. The structure and base sequence of RNA determines protein synthesis and the transmission of genetic information.

These types of DNA are used to create a much more accurate diagnosis of DNA samples lef tfrom teh crime\n\nemail me a kkstrong0@yahoo.com if you have further questions and ill try to tell you what i know

I know you can use saliva or blood.  Although, this is kind of hard to test for without the person knowing.  I have done a lot of research in this subject.  Any type of DNA sample works, it is just a matter of how much you are willing to pay to find out this information.  Urine is the cheapest at about $20 for a test.

The only blood test that I have heard of relating to double-stranded DNA is an antibody test.  In certain autoimmune diseases, most commonly lupus, the body's immune system becomes activated against normal components of your body rather than what it should be attacking (foreign things).  In lupus, the body produces antibodies against double-stranded DNA (genetic material).  A positive lab test could indicate that the person has lupus.  With that said, lupus is a very complicated disease to diagnose.  They would never diagnose it based on a single positive lab test.  An immunologist or rheumatologist could explain in detail exactly what is needed to diagnose lupus.

LMAO. Man, I don't know. I think it would contain your DNA from the passing through your anus......it has traces of your skin on it....and some blood and saliva too.

One start codon is used to provide tight regulation of translation (RNA to protein).  It also serves to limit damage that is caused if there is a mutation in the DNA.  It is less likely that a mutation would occur that would induce a start codon if there is only one of them and not three of them.

As the radioactive elements decay, they emit high-energy particles that go crashing through the cell(s). These particles hit atoms within the cell, creating either ions that go on to damage the cell's DNA, or they hit and directly damage the DNA. Once their DNA is damaged, cells usually either repair the damage, or if they can't, commit suicide (called apoptosis). Only those cells that have been damaged and fail to repair it and fail to commit suicide can become cancerous. Of course, the final requirement is that the DNA is damaged in an area that controls cell replication is such a way as to allow the unchecked proliferation of the cell.
