Use these sites to find the answer: https://genetics.thetech.org/about-genetics/how-do-genes-work https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/basics/genearrow_forwardWhat is the first step in quantifying the relative amounts of mRNA in different tissues? Would this method be useful in determining which immune system genes might be over-expressed in severe Covid cases? Why or why not? Could quantitative PCR, which uses a DNA-binding dye, to show how many copies of the target DNA sequence could be used to quantify the amount of mRNA in a cell? Would you expect that a metabolically active tissue such as the liver would show more cDNA copies in such a method, compared to less metabolically active tissues such as skin cells? One reason that the types and amounts of mRNAs are quantified in different tissue types is to compare which genes are activated and which are inactive. It used to be thought that any gene that was transcribed was automatically translated. The discovery of RNA-degrading systems shows that the real situation in cells is more complemented.
