Every individual's DNA sequence is different and genetic fingerprinting can be used to distinguish individuals based on their unique DNA sequence. To begin, DNA needs to be extracted from a sample , which co...

All cells in our body contain the same genetic information stored in the DNA chromosomes located in the nucleus. So how do cells become skin cells, liver cells etc.? Cells undergo a process called differenti...

DNA helicase unwinds the DNA double helix (breaking hydrogen bonds and exposing nucleotide bases)Mononucleotides pair up with complementary bases on the coding strandRNA polymerase moves along joining the nu...

The Krebs cycle is one of the steps of cellular respiration - the process that allows organic molecules to be broken down in a series of stages to release chemical potential energy, which is used to synthesi...

When an enzyme comes into contact with a substrate that fits its active site, it will bind to it and form an enzyme-substrate complex. This binding alters some of the bonds in the substrate to be slightly we...
