DNA profiling is a method of identifying an individual by unique characteristics of their DNA. A specific DNA pattern‚ called a profile‚ is obtained from an individual or a sample of tissue. This allows the comparison of the base sequence of two or more DNA samples to determine whether they are related. DNA profiling has many uses‚ in prevention of economic fraud‚ dietetic work‚ and classifying species‚ identifying bodies‚ forensic science‚ screening for disease‚ and investigating paternity.

males and females. Gender determination of a human has important applications in forensic science‚ prenatal diagnosis‚ etc. This can be done by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) followed by gel electrophoresis. The presence of two bands of DNA indicates that the sample is from a male while the presence of one band of DNA indicates that the sample is from a female (sasaki and shimokawa‚ 1995). In this experiment‚ Chelex was used to extract nucleic

Abstract For this lab the rate of photosynthesis was analyzed upon plant leaves. A sample of a light exposed and a not-light exposed leave were used to clearly identify the role of sunlight in the process of producing and storing energy. Aim We are trying to find proof‚ to demonstrate the necessity of light and chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. Background Photosynthesis occurs in organisms which contain chlorophyll. It’s a process that involves the chloroplasts to synthesize glucose

Starting with the largest distance‚ place either one or two ends onto your partners skin (ALTERNATE RANDOMLY so the partner can’t guess!!!) 7. Have lab partner tell you how many ends they can feel. Do this 5 or 6 times. 8. Then try the next smaller distance and repeat steps 6 and 7. 9. Record

Hassuneh. Report subject: Serum protein electrophoresis. Report No.: 1. Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPEP) Introduction: The serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) test measures specific proteins in the blood to help identify some diseases. And its uses an electrical field to separate the proteins in the blood serum into groups of similar size‚ shape‚ and charge. And here we’ll use gel electrophoresis which indicate that blood serum is placed on special paper treated with agarose gel and exposed
