Q1. Role of DEPC in RNA isolation
Ans. 
DEPC is used in RNA isolation to inactivate RNases and prevent RNA degradation.
• DEPC (diethyl pyrocarbonate) is a chemical used to treat water and equipment to inactivate RNases, which can degrade RNA during isolation.

• DEPC-treated water is used to make solutions for RNA isolation procedures to ensure RNase-free conditions.

• DEPC can be used to treat glassware, pipettes, and other equipment to prevent RNase contamination d...read more

Q2. What is RIL population
Ans. 
RIL population refers to Recombinant Inbred Line population, which is a set of inbred lines derived from crossing two genetically different parents and then self-pollinating the offspring for several generations.
• RIL population is commonly used in genetics research to study genetic variation and map genes of interest.

• Each line in the RIL population is genetically unique and can be used to identify genetic loci associate...read more
