least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. DNA is a structure of specific molecules and a complex mixture of chemicals. DNA is a nucleic acid‚ which is a group of complex compounds that can be found in all living cells or viruses‚ and controls cell health and function. Nucleic acids are composed of polymers and monomers‚ which are referred to as nucleotides. There are four different types of nucleotides that make up the structure of DNA‚ which are abbreviated A‚ C‚ T‚ and G. Covalent

A DNA molecule which is abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid is made up of very long chains of monomers and polymers that are called nucleotides. These two chains in particular which composes of DNA strain are then formed by the grouping of the nucleotides into the polynucleotides. The

DNA Cloning PCB3063L Section DNA cloning refers to the process of making multiple copies of a DNA fragment. For the past weeks we have conducted a set of experiments that allow us to clone a specific gene in drosophila. First we started by the process of DNA extraction‚ which allowed us to isolate the genomic DNA from D. Melanogaster. This process requires the use of lysis in other to extract the DNA and RNA. After extracting the DNA‚ we it is important to use

Objective : To extract the DNA from onion samples. Introduction : Nuclues has DNA molecule in it. It is packaged into thread like structure known as chromosomes. Each and every chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins which is known as histones. Histones supports the structure. Chromosome cannot be visible even under the microscope if the cells are not dividing. DNA consist of 2 long polynucleotide which is composed of 4 types of nucleotide units. Nucleotides

DNA sequencing From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia [pic] The term DNA sequencing refers to sequencing methods for determining the order of the nucleotide bases—adenine‚ guanine‚ cytosine‚ and thymine—in a molecule of DNA. Knowledge of DNA sequences has become indispensable for basic biological research‚ other research branches utilizing DNA sequencing‚ and in numerous applied fields such as diagnostic‚ biotechnology‚ forensic biology and biologicalsystematics. The advent of DNA sequencing

main source of evidence. Notoriously unreliable‚ these techniques have since faded away to the stunning reliability of DNA forensics. In 1984‚ British geneticist Alec Jeffreys of the University of Leicester discovered an interesting new marker in the human genome. Most DNA information is the same in every human‚ but the junk code between genes is unique to every person. Junk DNA used for investigative purposes can be found in blood‚ saliva‚ perspiration‚ sexual fluid‚ skin tissue‚ bone marrow‚ dental

advances in harvesting mitochondrial DNA. “Markers” are used to trace ancestry. These markers are found through DNA Sequencing and SNP testing. The general acceptance is that the human race stemmed from a woman referred to as “Mitochondrial Eve.” It is estimated that she lived 200‚00 years ago in Africa (Rice University). Margit M. K. Nass and Sylvan Nass are accredited in discovering Mitochondrial DNA‚ or mtDNA in 1960 using electron microscopy (Rice University). DNA is found in two places in the cell;

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. DNA is typically has two strands running in opposite direction and is usually referred to as a double helix. Each on the individual strands consists of a backbone that is formed by sugar molecules linked together in groups. Each individual sugar molecule is covalently linked to one of the following possible bases: Adenine‚ Guanine‚ Cytosine and Thymine. These bases

The discovery of DNA is attributed to the research of three scientists in 1951; Francis Crick‚ Maurice Wilkins‚ and James Dewey Watson. They were all later accredited with the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine in 1962. Thanks to their discovery‚ science has been able to research and learn from DNA blueprints and use recombinant DNA technology to discover answers‚ vaccines and build immunity for many viruses. In recent years science has been using this new technology to genetically modify animals
