DNA and Its Wonders (Each Title corresponds with a picture on the Glog) DNA in Society Genetic Testing – Genetic Testing allows the diagnosis of how vulnerable an individual is to inherit the disease. The results of a genetic test can confirm a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person’s chance to develop or pass on a genetic disorder. Being able to have this information is a great preliminary defense. Crime Scene Investigation – As the world progresses with new innovations we

T DNA IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION 5Transportation and storage of DNA evidence is also extremely important. Whentransporting DNA evidence the officer should be aware that having the evidence in directsunlight can cause the evidence to become compromised (DNA Evidence‚ 2012). The officershould ensure that they do not place the evidence in an environment where it can get hot‚ insteadthey should place it in a cold environment to preserve it (DNA Evidence‚ 2012). It is importantthat the DNA evidence be

DNA replication: DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA; it is the basis for biological inheritance. The process starts when one double-stranded DNA molecule produces two identical copies of the molecule. The cell cycle (mitosis) also pertains to the DNA replication/reproduction process. The cell cycle includes interphase‚ prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ and telophase. Each strand of the original double-stranded DNA molecule serves as template

The Discovery of the Structure of DNA Determining the structure for DNA was one of the outstanding science achievements of the 20th century. It started in the late 1940’s‚ when scientists were aware that DNA was most likely the molecule of life‚ even though many were sceptical since it was so "simple." They also knew that DNA included different amounts of the four bases: adenine‚ thymine‚ guanine and cytosine (usually abbreviated A‚ T‚ G and C)‚ but nobody knew what the molecule might look like

A single-stranded chain of alternating phosphate and ribose units with the bases Adenine‚ Guanine‚ Cytosine‚ and Uracil bonded to the ribose. RNA molecules are involved in protein synthesis

Ka Zhu The Importance of the Structure of DNA Understanding ideas at a macroscopic scale is simple. Looking at a clock‚ observing and understanding the movements of the hands over the numbered surface are‚ in essence‚ all one requires to use the device. In order for innovation to occur‚ it is imperative to understand the inner workings of the device on a microscopic scale to modulate its properties. Such is the case for many innovations in science‚ from the heat engine to penicillin‚ and is no

Who Discovered DNA? Heather Kane The discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid‚ more commonly known as DNA‚ has been the foundation for much scientific work. This fundamental discovery was credited to James Watson and Francis Crick. Many people believe that another person‚ Rosalind Franklin‚ also played a large role in the research. How much did she contribute to the discovery? Why is her name left unrecognized? This paper will discuss her part in the search and whether her name should appear next to

Scientist extracts DNA to show how it’s useful to solve a crime scene. DNA is the most things to use for solving any crime. Finding DNA is pretty easy to find it can be you’re hair‚ blood‚ or even saliva. Using all that can help investigators to find who the criminal is. Scientist compares the DNA to make sure that their looking for the right person and not to make any mistakes. Scientists extract the DNA when they use blood‚ saliva‚ and other body fluids and tissues. For example the crime investigators

DNA DIGESTION AND ELECTROPHORESIS In this experiment we will be doing a process called as DNA digestion or also known as restriction digest. A restriction digest is a procedure used in molecular biology to prepare DNA for analysis or other processing. It is sometimes termed DNA fragmentation‚ scientists Hartl and Jones describe it this way: This enzymatic technique can be used for cleaving DNA molecules at specific sites‚ ensuring that all DNA fragments that contain a particular sequence have the

DNA Aim This practical procedure allows you to amplify a 460 basepair fragment of DNA from within the control region of the mitochondrial genome. This can be done using three water baths or‚ if one is available‚ a thermal cycler (PCR machine). After it has been amplified‚ the DNA is run on an electrophoresis gel. Note: This method has been adapted from one developed by the Dolan DNA Learning Center at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. More details are available from the DNA Learning Center’s
