DNA is one of the nucleic acids information-containing molecules in the cell (ribonucleic acid‚ or RNA‚ is the other nuclei c acid). DNA if found in the nucleus of every human cell. The information is DNA: guides the cells (along with RNA) in making new proteins that determine all of our biological traits. DNA gets passed (copies) from one generation to the next.

Race is not simply a matter of the skin color‚ hair texture and facial features seen on a particular person anymore. In two readings from the English 102 Reader‚ “Does Race Exist?” by Michael J. Bamshad and “America: The Multinational Society” by Ishmael Reed‚ the arguments are regarding different topics regarding race‚ but they also have many similarities in the articles. The most dominant

Jared Diamond’s Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel Why do some nations have so much material wealth while so many others have so little? This was the question Jared Diamond posed in his book Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel. After identifying a point in time when all societies were roughly equal (over 13‚000 years ago)‚ Diamond identified the key variables that allowed some societies to develop highly complex‚ material-rich societies‚ while others developed at much slower rates. Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel uncovers how

I first read Jared Diamond’s Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel in the Fall 2003 based on a recommendation from a friend. Many chapters of the book are truly fascinating‚ but I had criticisms of the book back then and hold even more now. Chief among these is the preponderance of analysis devoted to Papua New Guinea‚ as opposed to‚ say‚ an explanation of the greatly disparate levels of wealth and development among Eurasian nations. I will therefore attempt to confine this review on the "meat and potatoes"

Fitzgerald once said‚ “The reason one writes isn ’t the fact he wants to say something. He writes because he has something to say.” This quote applies directly to Ngugi Wa Thiong’o’s novel A Grain of Wheat. One could infer from this quote that some writers write not just for the enjoyment derived from it‚ but rather out of a feeling of obligation to let readers hear what they may have to say. Ngugi’s message that he feels obligated to convey is delivered‚ however‚ he uses a very unusual writing technique

Extraction and Analysis of Plasmid DNA from E. coli Cells Introduction A plasmid is an extra-chromosomal element‚ often a circular DNA. Since a plasmid is by definition an extra-chromosomal element‚ it cannot make use of any origin of DNA replication in a chromosome (BP site). Meaning that DNA synthesis within a plasmid depends on having an origin of DNA synthesis of its own. Plasmids are often found in bacterial cells‚ in which they are used as transfer agents for transmitting various antibiotic

The Advantages of DNA Replication DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid‚ and it is found in the nucleus of every cell in the human body. DNA is the master plan - it contains all the genetic information needed for a living thing to develop and function. Each and every single organism has a unique and different DNA encoding. DNA’s purpose is to store all of our genetic information similar to the way a builders blue print sets out the design of a house. Without DNA there would be no such thing as
