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 you will learn about the gene and its role in population. Genetically defined, a genetic population is a spatial-temporal group of conspecific interbreeding individuals. All genetic information distributed among an interbreeding group of individuals collectively form a gene pool. The gene pool concept is best represented by small isolated colonies whose members can interbreed in a [...]
Justifications for the development and use of MAS in plant breeding fall into four broad areas that are relevant to almost all target crops. These are: a. Traits that are difficult to manage through conventional phenotypic selection because they are expensive or time consuming to measure, or have low penetrance or complex inheritance. b. Traits whose selection depends on specific [...]
