Transcription is one of the process of protein synthesis where mRNA is synthesized from DNA. In this process, adenine pairs with uracil as RNA has uracil instead of thymine.
Western blot is a technique to detect proteins from a mixture based on their molecular weight which is run through gel electrophoresis.
Our genome contains the instructions to make proteins which regulate the body processes. Although, only 2% of the total genome contains the information for gene expression and rest 98% is considered to be junk.
Human male cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes of which pair is the sex chromosomes. It has X and Y chromosomes. In it the Y chromosome is the smallest chromosome having approximately 231 genes.
Human genome has approximately 3 billion chemical base pairs with genes in the DNA.
