Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

A polysome consist of a cluster of ribosomes that are held, simultaneously by a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA) in rosette or helical group.They contain a portion of the genetic code that each ribosome is translating and are used in formation of multiple copies of same polypeptide. They are found in the cytoplasm during the process of active protein synthesis.

The number of clones necessary to obtain a probability of 0.99 and a specific 5-kb fragment of DNA from C.elegans. Concept introduction: Cloning is defined as the production of multiple identical organisms obtained from a single ancestor. Clone is the collection of cells that carry the vector carrying DNA of interest. To clone a particular DNA fragment, a pure form of DNA is obtained and cut using a restriction enzyme into small pieces. Then, these fragments are cloned into vector.
