Project 2: DNA Analysis Due Dates: Checkpoint 1 1/7/14 10% Final Due Date 1/12/14 Students will write a program that uses arrays and files to analyze DNA sequences and determine if they represent proteins. Special thanks to Stuart Reges and Marty Stepp of UW for use of this assignment. I. Background Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a complex biochemical macromolecule that carries genetic information for cellular life forms and some viruses. DNA is also the mechanism through which genetic information

“Gene-ius” Scientists Discover DNA By DiNA Madan idfjdj James D Watson Watson was born on the 6th of April 1928 in Chicago and studied at the Universities of Chicago‚ Indiana‚ Copenhagen and Cambridge University where he joined Francis Crick in the attempt to find the chemical structure of living matter. http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQUceZSNxrQ7_IAvEm3D1SuT4wWb-g7jm-xI4fOMKI2mJvSMixaUg The Double Helix In 1953 Watson and Crick presented the three dimensional double-helical

DNA- is the material found in the nucleus that contains the genetic info. 4 billion codes in length Gene- a segment of DNA that controls a certain protein production. A gene is made up of hundreds to thousands of codes. Chromosomes- genetic material that is coiled up into structures during cell division. Importance of DNA- genes control the production of proteins..(look like‚ body function‚ body communications‚ and enzyme control) DNA screening- the process of testing individuals to determine

Date: Student Exploration: DNA Fingerprint Analysis Vocabulary: codon‚ DNA‚ DNA fingerprint‚ genotype‚ identical twins‚ nitrogenous base‚ phenotype‚ trait Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. The two navy officers shown at left are identical twins. Why do you think identical twins look so similar? Identical twins look so similar because identical twins have the same genetic makeup‚ meaning‚ the same DNA (same nitrogenous bases). This is because

over a decade‚ there has been a controversial issue dealing with building a national DNA database. This issue has been brought up over the discussion of the actual database and what kinds of effects will come out of it‚ if it actually happens to go through. Some people think the database will be a force in crime fighting. Others think it is a violation of civil liberties. In the early 1900s‚ “fingerprinting‚” a new crime-fighting database‚ was developed. With the exception of identical twins

The Impact of DNA on Criminal Investigations Science has become a very valuable tool for law enforcement. scientific evidence is used every day in criminal and civil courts throughout the United States; helping to Solve particularly difficult cases where all other investigative techniques have failed‚ provide clues where there are no witnesses‚ reduce the number of wrongful arrests‚ increase the reliability of evidence. Link together cases that otherwise could not be connected‚ such as local

Many people believe that DNA profiling is not a credible source. Although 99.9 percent of human DNA is the same in everyone‚ the remaining 0.1 percent which consists of about 3 million base pairs of amino acids is unique to that individual (Ballaro and Walter). Without the help of scientists and their technology many criminals would get away with their crimes. Deoxyribonucleic acid‚ or DNA‚ is a component of every cell in the human body. DNA can be found in any organic source for example saliva
