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

DNA Extraction from Fruit 1. What was the purpose of adding liquid soap and salt in step #1 and how does NaCl contribute to maximum DNA extraction. The purpose of using soap was to destroy the membranes inside a kiwi cell. Soap helped with that because it dissolves the membranes easily. Salt or NaCl was used to remove proteins and carbohydrates. NaCl caused the proteins and carbohydrates to precipitate. 2. Why was it necessary to “mush” the kiwi by hand? If the step was omitted‚ what

General Chemistry 1 Lab 1: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to ensure that students are able to understand how to conduct measurements of length‚ mass‚ temperature‚ density and volume using different measuring devices. Students will also learn how to dilute substances by using simple algebra. Procedure: 1. Prepare a data table similar to Data Table 1 shown below. 2. Choose any three objects that are shorter than the metric ruler to measure‚ such

determine the unknown DNA plasmid using restriction enzymes and conducting electrophoresis finally comparing the resulting fragments with the known restriction map. In this lab‚ it succeeds in showing the fragments. In this report we will discuss the‚ results‚ limitations and possible errors. Introduction In biology restriction enzymes are used in several ways to modify and manipulate DNA molecules. One common use is to compare pieces of DNA from one that is unknown‚ with fragments of DNA from another source

Recombinant DNA Technology Recombinant DNA technology refers to the ability to isolate specific DNA sequences and alter or manipulate them to produce desired effects. More often‚ recombinant DNA technology is referred to as biotechnology. Recombinant DNA technology is fascinating in that it has developed into a multi-billion dollar industry‚ and completely revolutionized agriculture and pharmaceutical industries‚ all within the past 50 years. According to one account‚ biotechnology was born

1 Pre-Laboratory Questions 1) What are common patterns of distribution related to rock pocket mice coat color? The patterns of distribution related to rock pocket mice coat color is primarily focused on the genetic variation regarding the fur color of the mice. The population of mice that possess a lighter fur color typically live in regions that contain light coloured rocks within the environment. Still‚ mice that have a darkened color fur will most often be found in areas in which the environment

Lab 1 “Laboratory Techniques and Measurements” A. Water boils at 100C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100 C‚ what could be the reason? * We’re not at sea level; the pressure could be lower or higher. B. While heating two different samples of water at sea level‚ one boils at 102C and one boils at 99.2C. Calculate the percent error for each sample from the theoretical 100C. (show your work) * 1st Sample: 1.96% error * 2nd Sample: 0.81% error

Laboratory Measurements and Density Objectives: A. To determine the density of Aluminum (lit. value = 2.7 g/cm3) by determining its mass‚ and measuring its volume by dimensional analysis and water displacement. We will also examine the % error in our determination based on the literature value. B. To determine the mass and diameter of select ball bearing. Plot graphs of mass vs. diameter‚ mass vs. surface area‚ and mass vs. volume. Afterwards use slop of the mass vs. volume graph to determine density
