process by which DNA turns into polypeptides is a complicated and long. Two main steps in changing the DNA into a polypeptide are transcription and translation‚ with transcription coming first. The process first starts in the nucleus of the cell. The DNA begins to unfold with the help of a helicase. During the transcription phase of the change‚ strands of DNA begin to unwind and the complementary mRNA is made or transcribed. The way they do this is by using the common pairs of DNA triplet bases (A-T

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

have a huge impact on the communication between cells. Cell communication is a crucial process necessary for cells to carry out various functions. Drugs such as Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)‚ known as ecstasy‚ can create barriers or confusion to cells. Cell to cell communication carry messages from signaling cells to target cells. Usually a cell will bind with a target cell through a receptor protein in the plasma membrane of the target cell

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.

information on what DNA replication looks like. The sources showed me what a strand of DNA looks like as well as giving me an explanation of what occurs during DNA replication. As my model is colour coded it makes it clearer as to what is occurring during each step in DNA replication as well as what each element is. It also clarifies what the external elements are when DNA replicates i.e. helicase‚ polymerase and DNA ligase. However‚ there are also limitations to my DNA replication model.

TWO-BASE EXTRACTION OF BENZOIC ACID‚ 2-NAPHTHOL‚ AND NAPHTHALENE FROM UNKNOWN SAMPLE # 131 Douglas G. Balmer (T.A. Mike Hall) Dr. Dailey Submitted 11 July 2007 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a sample of benzoic acid‚ 2- naphthol‚ and naphthalene of unknown proportions using a two-base extraction method. The three components of the mixture will react differently to sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide because each of the bases’ conjugate acids has a different

The hypothesis of this experiment is that this plant pigment from spinach will contain the chlorophyll pigment or may contain the others too. Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll a is the main component of the plant pigments. This is used for the most important process‚ Photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a makes up about 75% of
