DNA DIGESTION AND ELECTROPHORESIS In this experiment we will be doing a process called as DNA digestion or also known as restriction digest. A restriction digest is a procedure used in molecular biology to prepare DNA for analysis or other processing. It is sometimes termed DNA fragmentation‚ scientists Hartl and Jones describe it this way: This enzymatic technique can be used for cleaving DNA molecules at specific sites‚ ensuring that all DNA fragments that contain a particular sequence have the

information on what DNA replication looks like. The sources showed me what a strand of DNA looks like as well as giving me an explanation of what occurs during DNA replication. As my model is colour coded it makes it clearer as to what is occurring during each step in DNA replication as well as what each element is. It also clarifies what the external elements are when DNA replicates i.e. helicase‚ polymerase and DNA ligase. However‚ there are also limitations to my DNA replication model.

The purpose of the DNA extraction lab was not only to inform students on how DNA is present in humans and all organisms‚ but to also educate them on how DNA can be extracted using common household materials. Also‚ the lab was very efficient as it introduced the students to extracting their own DNA found on their cheek cells as well as letting them take an observation on how DNA appears or how it is formed. Additionally‚ students were instructed through a very clear and simple procedure‚ which guided

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid‚ it is located in the nuclei of cells which make up the body. DNA is quite often referred to as one of the building blocks of the body.. It is made up of four bases known as: • Adenine • Guanine • Cytosine • Thymine James Watson‚ Francis Crick‚ Maurice Wilkins‚ Rosalind Franklin Crick and Watson‚ together with Maurice Wilkins‚ won the 1962 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their 1953 determination of the structure of

Cloning –take haploid cel and replace with a diploid nucleus (comes from organism whos traits you want to duplicate. b. Recombinant DNA – DNA from 2 or more sources. Done by Euk cells during Meiosis. Always from same molecule. 3) Biologists first started doing recombinant DNA from a prok cell and combined it with another prok cell because it was easier. 4) DNA from a

process by which DNA turns into polypeptides is a complicated and long. Two main steps in changing the DNA into a polypeptide are transcription and translation‚ with transcription coming first. The process first starts in the nucleus of the cell. The DNA begins to unfold with the help of a helicase. During the transcription phase of the change‚ strands of DNA begin to unwind and the complementary mRNA is made or transcribed. The way they do this is by using the common pairs of DNA triplet bases (A-T

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Volleyball was conceived by Williams J. Morgan of the Holyoke‚ Massachusetts YMCA in 1895 as a blend of basketball‚ baseball‚ tennis‚ and handball. Early rules called for a net 6 feet 6 inches from the ground and for a 25-by 50-foot court‚ and provided for the game to be played in innings‚ by any number of players on a side. Two teams from the Holyoke YMCA demonstrated the game at a conference of YMCA physical directors‚ and the sport quickly developed under their supervision

The Advantages of DNA Replication DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid‚ and it is found in the nucleus of every cell in the human body. DNA is the master plan - it contains all the genetic information needed for a living thing to develop and function. Each and every single organism has a unique and different DNA encoding. DNA’s purpose is to store all of our genetic information similar to the way a builders blue print sets out the design of a house. Without DNA there would be no such thing as
