Introduction In 2015 Congress passed the DNA Fingerprint Act‚ which required that‚ beginning January 1‚ 2009‚ any adult arrested for a federal crime provide a DNA sample. As of May 2013‚ 29 states‚ in addition to the federal government‚ have enacted arrestee DNA collection laws‚ which authorize collection of DNA following arrest or charging. A U.S. Supreme Court decision‚ Maryland v. King (2013)‚ upheld a Maryland state law that allowed for the warrantless collection of a DNA sample for those arrested for

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA? DNA is composed of two polynucleotide strands wound together into a structure known as a double helix. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar base .Nucleotides form together creating a sugar phosphate backbone to each strand. There are three forms of DNA that differ significantly. The most common‚ B form‚ is the structure most people have heard of. It consists of the right

DNA REPLICATION WHAT IS DNA? DNA is a molecule that has a repeating chain of identical five-carbon sugars (polymers) linked together from head to tail. It is composed of four ring shaped organic bases (nucleotides) which are Adenine (A)‚ Guanine (G)‚ Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). It has a double helix shape and contains the sugar component deoxyribose. THE PROCESS OF DNA REPLICATION How DNA replicates is quite a simple process. First‚ a DNA molecule is "unzipped". In other words‚ it

DNA is the common name for Deoxyribonucleic acid. This is made up of nucleic acids containing deoxyribose (sugar)‚ consisting of complex molecules‚ present in the chromosomes of all plant and animal cells‚ and carrying in coded form instructions for passing on hereditary characteristics. The DNA molecule takes the shape of a double helix‚ a simple structure that resembles gently twisted ladders. The rails of the ladder are made of pairs of nitrogen-containing nucleotides‚ which are subdivisions

plasmid DNA and analysis of isolated plasmid Introduction: A plasmid is an autonomously replicating extra-chromosomal genetic element. In other words‚ this is a DNA molecule external to the bacterial chromosome that is able to replicate on its own and distribute its daughter molecules to daughter cells. You have successfully cloned a fragment of chromosomal DNA containing a tetracycline resistance cassette into a plasmid (pET11a). To this end you have (1) isolated total chromosomal DNA from your

The DNA double helix model In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick made a scientific breakthrough when they discovered the structure of DNA. From this structure they inferred that DNA contains information written in a genetic code‚ is passed from one generation to the next. This discovery was to be a key step in the genetics revolution DNA has four molecular building blocks called nucleotides; adenine (A)‚ thymine (T) guanine (G) and cytosine (C). Purine base always pairs (by hydrogen bonding) with

Homework # 1 DNA 2. Name the four differences between RNA and DNA. 1) DNA is double stranded‚ RNA is single 2) DNA has Adenine‚ Guanine‚ Thiame‚ and Cytosine as nitro bases. With RNA‚ anywhere you would expect to see Thaime‚ you see Uracil instead. 3) DNA has no types‚ RNA has 3 types: mRNA‚ rRNA‚ and tRNA. 4) DNA and RNA have different sugars. 3.
