Extraction of DNA Molecule of an Onion In an Aqueous Solution By: Introduction DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) is found in every living organism. It provides the information and instructions to build and regulate cells in organisms. The information it contains is used when organisms are being reproduced. It is made up of two polynucleotide chains known as DNA strands. Within the two chains there are four nucleotide units: adenine‚ thymine‚ cytosine‚ and guanine. Materials and Methods An onion

Extraction of DNA from Calf or Hog Thymus/Isolation of Yeast RNA I. Abstract Nucleic acids may be divided into two groups RNA and DNA. DNA contains almost all the genetic information while RNA serves as the bridge between the DNA and proteins. Study of both DNA and RNA initially involves proper extraction/isolation. The storehouse of eukaryotic DNA is the nucleus (and in the mitochondria)‚ so experimentally‚ DNA is extracted from tissues that have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic mass ratio‚ such

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

purification.” Techniques and methodologies for extracting the proteins and purifying Enzyme X are as follows: The blue-green tinted proteins in Enzyme X give a distinct color to algae. The proteins are contained in the cells‚ so the cells need to be lysed (disintegration of the cell wall or membrane.) Substance X contains Enzyme X. As a note‚ the compound needs to be perfectly pure before studying or it will not produce wanted results. 1. The lysis of the cells in Substance X can be achieved by a variety

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

acid‚ or DNA as it is most commonly known‚ is a strand of molecules found within the cell nucleus of all living things. It is called a “genetic fingerprint” because each is dissimilar to the other and each person‚ apart from identical twins‚ has different DNA patterns. DNA testing has overthrown the way law enforcement agencies collect evidence in numerous criminal cases‚ especially rape and murder and consequently had a large impact on countless past cases. The prospect of a national DNA database

Conclusions of DH5α DNA transformation with red colonies resistance to ampicillin and the lacZ gene Introduction: In this experiment‚ a plasmid with a gene that has resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin and has lacZ is used to transfer the resistance into E. coli bacteria in red colonies. This same technique is used to give diabetics their insulin‚ and to give dwarfs growth hormones. The point of this lab is to give the groups an idea how DNA can be transformed

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
