DNA databases In 1992‚ The United States‚ Federal Bureau of Investigation funded the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). It is a computer system that stores DNA profiles created by federal‚ state‚ and local crime laboratories in the United States‚ with the ability to search the database in its entirety; it also helps agencies identify suspects of crime. The origin of CODIS is attributed to the Scientific Working groups (SWG) that began in the late 80’s. SWG was backed by the FBI Laboratory which

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

Since its discovery in the 1980’s‚ the application of DNA has been utilized in many ways. When Deoxyribonucleic Acid‚ or DNA is examined‚ a precise decoding of genetic information is revealed. With the exception of identical twins‚ every person’s genetic code (commonly referred to as a Genetic Fingerprint) is inherited and unique.

The Mystery of the Female Orgasm Review of Puts et al. (2012)‚ Why Women Have Orgasms: An Evolutionary Analysis. Introduction One of the greatest mysteries in human biology is that of the female orgasm; and like any mystery‚ humans want to solve it. However‚ what happens if there is nothing to solve? Some scientists believe that the female orgasm has a purpose‚ that is‚ it evolved for some adaptive function. Other scientists stress that there does not need to be a purpose to the female

Watson and Crick accomplishment was in some measure built on the work of their contemporary DNA researchers. 1951 Rosalind Franklin x-ray crystallography of the DNA molecule without her know- ledge‚ for instance‚ was a vital step toward discovery. She began to capture pictures of DNA using x-ray diffraction. She also pre- sented her findings in a

Relationships of Proteins Proteins are a group of organic compounds whose molecules consist of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen and sometimes sulfur atoms. They are condensation polymers of amino acids that are joined by strong peptide bonds. There are 20 different types of amino acids available‚ and the different combinations of these amino acids give it different structures and specific functions to it. Below in this essay‚ will illustrate the how different structure of a protein is related to
