Extracting DNA from Wheat Germ Cells Criteria to be assessed CE Introduction: DNA is the abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell & it stores the information that makes up living organisms. It is a double helix of 4 nucleotides. It contains a code that allows the body to make up proteins. The nucleotides are Cytosine‚ Guanine‚ Adenine and Thymine. (1) Wheat germ comes from wheat seeds. The ’ germ ’ is the embryo‚ which is the part of

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

the structure of DNA. ➢ DNA is a nucleic acid‚ which consist of long chains (polymers) of chemical units (monomers) called nucleotide. A molecule of DNA contains two polynucleotides‚ each a chain of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base‚ a sugar‚ and a phosphate group. Each DNA strand serves as a mold‚ or template‚ to guide reproduction of the other strand. There are four different types of nucleotides found in DNA‚ differing only in the nitrogenous base. DNA is contained in

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

Anne Holt DNA Profiling Introduction: DNA Profiling was authorised in the mid- 1980s. DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA accommodates a genetic code for each organism. DNA profiling is not just used for identifying fingerprints and such‚ it is also used for identifying any type of evidence that has DNA in it. Auspiciously‚ each DNA is unique‚ not even siblings have indistinguishable DNA‚ unless they are identical twins. USES OF TECHNIQUE: DNA profiling is used most often to solve crime

DNA synthesis inhibitors Nucleic acid inhibitors are chemicals which inhibit the production of nucleic acids including both DNA and RNA. DNA and RNA inhibitors inhibit enzyme action in DNA replication in the same way as the topoisomerase inhibitors we discussed earlier. Topoisomerase inhibitors (1) (10) are chemicals which interfere with the enzymes that allow DNA strands to separate and to re-join‚ a process that is required for the division of bacteria and without which DNA cannot effectively

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
