has 1‚000 trillion synapses‚ and since number of synapses decreases with age until it stabilises in adulthood it is estimated the average adult has between 100 and 500 trillion synapses.(Wikipedia contributors (2006). When looking at the brain in this context‚ you can appreciate the sheer complexity of it and that looking at the functioning of a single synapse is a mammoth achievement of science. In order to look

DNA Replication Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains the genetic instructions for the biological development of a cellular form of life including some viruses. DNA is an antiparallel double helix molecule with sugar-phosphate backbone on the outer side and nitrogen bases in the inner side. The bases are paired specifically‚ also known as complementary pairing‚ Adenine (A) with Thymine (T)‚ and Guanine (G) with Cytosine (C) by two and three hydrogen bonds‚ respectively. DNA is a long polymer

DNA Barcoding Click on the following link and view the background on DNA barcoding: https://www.dnalc.org/resources/animations/dna-barcoding.html 1. What is a DNA barcode? DNA barcoding is a fast accurate method of identifying plants and animals‚ or products made from them. DNA barcode is DNA sequence that uniquely identifies each species of living things. Short DNA sequences are used to identify species by comparing them with the known barcodes in large databases. When you get to the section where

Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: Describe the structure of DNA.DNA is thread formed by two strands‚ related together to form a double helix. The double helix looks like a twisted ladder. The sides of this ladder are long unites called nucleotides and are made of three parts; a nitrogenous base‚ a sugar‚ and a phosphate group. The sides of the ladder or the nucleotides from the two separate strands of the DNA are attached by an appendage made of one of four

simply because there are no “rises or curves on the road.” The midwest is also considered a square state‚ meaning it is more conservative and rural. Something many people are not aware of. It is also more republican than non-square states. Another characteristic that the midwest might have‚ is that it seems to gave people that are of a higher class‚ meaning that they are thought of in a higher aspect. It is a region “where all the woman are strong‚ all the men are

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 are typically

one in every 25 people is a sociopath. The majority of people probably think of a sociopath as a psychotic criminal. This is not the case. Only 20 percent of male and female prison inmates are sociopaths. The majority of these people live normal lives and function well in society. One of the characteristics of a sociopath is they are unfazed by uninterrupted eye contact. This may seem aggressive or seductive to the other person‚ but is really just a form of manipulation by the sociopath. Another

DNA and the Gene: Synthesis and Repair 1) Watson and Crick elucidated the structure of DNA in 1953. Their research built on and helped explain the findings of other scientists‚ including ________. A) X-ray diffraction studies by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. B) Chargaff’s rules: C = G and T = A. C) Scientists who recognized that a nucleotide consisted of a sugar‚ a phosphate‚ and a nitrogen-containing base. D) All of the above were important considerations in the elucidation of

" Knil started off by getting up from his bed and going to his bathroom to where he washed up. No sword. Next‚ he went to his friend Airas’s house and asked her if she had seen his sword. Still no sword. Knil was starting to get fed up. Then he realized that he had gone to Eluryh to pick up some food earlier in the day. So he set out on the path to Eluryh‚ checking all the bushes to where his sword could have fallen. But no swords were to be found. Knil made it to Eluryh and asked all the

The upper most strand is the (coding strand) DNA base sequence (triplet) of the gene codes for synthesis of a particular polypeptide chain. The second strand is the mRNA base sequence (template strand used for copying) codon of the transcribed mRNA. The process for going from the upper stand to the second strand is called Transcription and involves an enzyme called polymerase. The polymerase attaches to the promoter region (start codon) and reads the nucleotide base sequence until it gets to a termination
