An example of modern forensics evidence is the use of DNA fingerprints. Sources of DNA include blood‚ hair‚ semen‚ saliva‚ bone and tissue. Each person has a unique DNA fingerprint. A DNA fingerprint is the same for every cell‚ tissue‚ and organ of a person. It cannot be altered by any known treatment. Consequently‚ DNA fingerprinting is rapidly becoming the primary method for identifying and distinguishing among individual human beings . An additional application of DNA fingerprint technology is the diagnosis of inherited disorders in adults

ions -DNA replication minimizes errors such as the DNA that is duplicated but changes in the DNA do occur‚ producing mutations. Although most mutations are either neutral or harmful they are also the raw material for evolution. Such mutations from alleles‚ alternate forms of a given gene that may produce differences in structure or function such as black‚ brown or blond hair in humans‚ or different mating calls in frogs. Stages of Mitosis~ 1)Parent cell. 2)Chromosomes make identical copies

Premium DNA
Every living organism is made of cells. Every cell has a nucleus‚ and every nucleus has chromosomes. Human beings have 46 chromosomes or 23 chromosome pairs and each chromosome contains hundreds of genes. These genes contain the recipes‚ for proteins that make most of the body. Structural proteins form things such as skin‚ hair‚ and muscle. These chromosomes are very long compact coils of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) that store all the information that the body inbeds such as how one looks and functions
Premium DNA Genetics Gene
DNA‚ or deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA)‚ but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A)‚ guanine (G)‚ cytosine (C)‚ and thymine (T). The order‚ or sequence‚ of

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. DNA is a polymer‚ which is a chemical compound or a mixture of compounds consisting of repeating structural units. These repeating structures are created through polymerization. The monomer‚ meaning one part‚ units of DNA are nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a five carbon sugar‚ also known as deoxyribose‚ and nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar

DNA made up of units called nucleotides‚ nucleotides are made up of three molecules components‚ a nitrogen base‚ a sugar‚ and a phosphate (Simon‚ Reece‚ Dickey‚ 2010). The nucleotides are joined together by bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next producing
Premium DNA Gene RNA
A DNA strand contains a complete representation of everything about our physiology. It also contains instructions on how to form our body by repeated divisions of a single cell. Each cell needs to know when it should‚ split into two‚ split into different kinds of cell for tissue differentiation. Cells also need to know when to stop growing because the body or organ is mature‚ and when it needs to replace tissue lost by injury. All of that is encoded into one molecule. So in other words the benefit
