Document Summary
Explain the significance of studying neural circuits of memory and behavior. All behaviors can be shaped by the environment, even so called innate behaviors (maternal, reproductive behaviors for example) Certain genes expressed in neurons in the neural circuits that underlie all aspects of behavior. For the development and function of a single neural circuit, a wide variety of structural and regulatory proteins are required. Some of these proteins are products of genes ubiquitously expressed while others are products of genes with local/restricted expression pattern local/restricted expression pattern. Simple organisms have simple neural circuits, in more complex organisms neural circuits are also more complex. During pcr the taq polymerase adds one adenine to the 3" end of each strand of the target dna this turns a blunt end into a sticky end: 2. Tdt enzyme adds one thymine to the 5" end of each strand - this turns a blunt end into a stick end: 3.
