EXTRACTION OF DNA FROM ONIONS ABSTRACT The purpose of the experiment was to experience firsthand the isolation of DNA form a plant tissue without destroying its structure and sequence. A white onion was used for the experiment. After several processes‚ DNA isolate was the visible result. Different chemical tests were performed on the DNA isolate‚ namely: Dische Test‚ Murexide Test‚ Wheeler-Johnson test and Test for Phosphate. Visible results were then noted.

strands of DNA. For this experiment‚ pBR322 was the specimen to use. Restriction Endonucleases work by cleaving the sugar phosphate backbone of specific DNA sites. Restriction enzymes that have been isolated from bacteria have a defensive role. This idea is illustrated when an attacking foreign cell DNA is trying to alter the bacteria; restriction enzymes cleave the DNA rendering it inert. The second part of the experiment deals with Gel Electrophoresis. The samples are loaded into wells on an 1% agarose

In advanced cases‚ pellagra may lead to dementia and death (the 3(+1) Ds: dermatitis‚ diarrhea‚ dementia‚ and death). Vitamin B5 pantothenic acid Deficiency can result in acne and paresthesia‚ although it is uncommon. Vitamin B6 pyridoxine Deficiency may lead to microcytic anemia (because pyridoxyl phosphate is the

DNA- is the material found in the nucleus that contains the genetic info. 4 billion codes in length Gene- a segment of DNA that controls a certain protein production. A gene is made up of hundreds to thousands of codes. Chromosomes- genetic material that is coiled up into structures during cell division. Importance of DNA- genes control the production of proteins..(look like‚ body function‚ body communications‚ and enzyme control) DNA screening- the process of testing individuals to determine

DNA REPLICATION At the replication origin DNA helicase attaches to a strand of DNA and begins to break apart hydrogen bonds in order to unravel a section of the double helix. The section of DNA that is unwound is called the replication bubble and the “Y” shaped sections are called the replication forks. In order to stop the unwound section from binding back together‚ single strand binding proteins react with the single strand portions on the DNA causing them to stay separated. Although the leading

DNA Profiling and Ethics Reflection Journal Vanshika Khemka 14th October 2012 "33 autorad off" On 10th September 1984‚ geneticist Alec Jeffrey’s wrote these three words in his red desk diary. This marked the completion of an experiment‚ which studied how inherited illnesses pass through families. The experiment failed entirely. (McKie‚ 2009) However‚ this led to the most profound discovery: the world’s first DNA fingerprint. Now‚ the smallest swab of blood or sweat can determine

How to easily see if your business is setup with D&B‚ Experian‚ and Equifax Written by Janet Gershen-Siegel When you are first starting out‚ even before you sell one product or service‚ your company exists‚ of course. Even if it’s just conceptual‚ there’s a company or a proto-company at least. But your small business hasn’t ‘arrived’ until it’s on Dun & Bradstreet‚ Experian‚ and Equifax. So‚ how do you determine if your company is in any of these credit reporting bureaus’ databases? Fortunately

Who Discovered DNA? Heather Kane The discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid‚ more commonly known as DNA‚ has been the foundation for much scientific work. This fundamental discovery was credited to James Watson and Francis Crick. Many people believe that another person‚ Rosalind Franklin‚ also played a large role in the research. How much did she contribute to the discovery? Why is her name left unrecognized? This paper will discuss her part in the search and whether her name should appear next to

Recombinant DNA Report Our final annotated gel image sums up the successful experiments we performed over the course of 8 weeks. The image will be referred to throughout the report: Lane 1: 10 µL of ladder. Lane 2: 20 µL of a pAMP- EcoRI/HindIII double digestion. Within the double digestion‚ one can find 8 µL of pAMP‚ 1 µL of the EcoRI enzyme‚ 1 µL of the HindIII enzyme‚ 5 µL of 10x Buffer 2.1‚ and 35 µL of water. A total volume of 50 µL was present
