A degradative enzyme that recognizes specific nucleotide sequences and cuts up DNA.

A component of nucleic acid that carries hereditary information in DNA in cells. Chemically, it is a pyrimidine base. It pairs with adenine in DNA.

A component of nucleic acids that carries hereditary information in DNA and RNA in cells. Chemically, it is a purine base. It pairs with cytosine in DNA.

A building block of DNA, consisting of a five-carbon sugar covalently bonded to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.

Any of the usually linear bodies in the cell nucleus that contain the genetic material.

Differences in DNA sequence on homologous chromosomes that can result in different patterns of restriction fragment lengths (DNA segments resulting from treatment with restriction enzymes).

The separation of nucleic acids or proteins, on the basis of their size and electrical charge, by measuring their rate of movement through an electrical field in a gel.

A component of nucleic acids that carries hereditary information in DNA and RNA in cells. Chemically, it is a pyrimidine base. Pairs with Guanine in DNA.
