Understanding the Functions of Proteins and DNA Ingrid Waldron‚ Biology Department‚ University of Pennsylvania‚ 2012 These key concepts and activities are suggested as part of an introductory unit on biological molecules (or as an introduction to a unit on molecular biology). The overarching goal is to help students understand that proteins and DNA are not just abstract concepts in biology textbooks but rather crucial components of our bodies that affect familiar functions and characteristics

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. * * There has been a major effort in the history of science to figure out the structure of DNA. Having a double standard helix DNA has a uniform a diameter in its entire length. The helixes fit within a defined three dimensional space because they are both right handed. Polynucleotide chains are held together by the bases in the (center) hydrogen bonding

3.3 & 7.1 DNA Structure Worksheet 1. Draw and label the structure of a simplified single nucleotide‚ including sugar‚ phosphate and base. 2. Complete the table below to show the pairings of the bases in DNA: Purine | Pyrimidine | Adenine | Thymine | Guanine | Cytosine | 3. Where would one find the base uracil? RNA‚ it replaces thymine 4. In the space below‚ draw a single strand of three nucleotides‚ naming the bonds between them and showing the correct relative position

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. DNA really stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is a right handed double helix. Nucleotides that mount together by phosphodiester bonds make up DNA. It also contains a spiral strand that is made of phosphate backbone and secure bases (Adenine‚ Guanine‚ Cytosine‚ Thymine). Cytosine and Thymine are Pyrimidines‚ while Adenine and Guanine are Purines.

Activity 1.3.2: Student Response Sheet Scenario 1 A 32 year old immigrant from a patriarchal country is giving birth. As she is delivering the baby‚ she tearfully confesses to her doctor that this is her 4th child and she simply cannot handle any more children. She tells the doctor that her husband refuses to use contraception or allow her to‚ and she begs her doctor to tie her tubes and not tell her husband. The doctor complies. Was HIPAA Violated? Why or why not? ________________________

increasingly complex task that requires active‚ continuing maintenance of digital media. This challenge has focused some interest on DNA as an attractive target for information storage because of its capacity for high-density information encoding‚ longevity under easily achieved conditions and proven track record as an information bearer. 1.2 Problem Statement: Previous DNA-based information storage approaches have encoded only trivial amounts of

Something new was also used in this case‚ dog DNA. During the investigation‚ police learned that Taylor had been walking his dog around the time Leanne’s body was placed in the woods. Forensic examiners found dog hairs on Leanne’s body. The dog hair DNA sample was sent to a university in Texas. It produced a partial profile for a dog. However‚ this was not able to be used against John Taylor because he had killed this dog before the evidence was found. The dog had been buried‚ in Taylor’s back garden

Biochemical Prospective of DNA polymerase in Replication Biologists and chemists have long recognized a relationship among DNA‚ RNA‚ and protein‚ and this recognition has guided a vast amount of research over the past decades and generations. The pathway of DNA to RNA and RNA to protein is conserved in all forms of life and is often called the Central Dogma. DNA functions as a storage molecule‚ holding genetic information for the lifetime of a cellular organism‚ and allowing that information
