In this article we will discuss about agarose gel electrophoresis. To know about quality and quantity of genomic DNA, agarose gel electrophoresis is performed on genomic and amplified DNA. Larger molecules migrate more slowly because of greater friction drag and they form their way through the pores of gel, less efficiently than smaller molecules. Range of separation in gel containing [...]
After reading this article we will learn about the consequences and co-efficient of inbreeding. The mating of individuals more closely related than individuals mating at random is known as inbreeding. The most intense form of inbreeding is selfing. Consequences of Inbreeding: (i) Reduction in genetic variance within a small population (ii) General decrease in over-all heterozygosity (iii) Differentiation of a [...]
