of a specific region of DNA‚ in order to produce enough DNA to be adequately tested. This technique can be used to identify with a very high-probability‚ disease-causing viruses and/or bacteria‚ a deceased person‚ or a criminal suspect. • Gel electrophoresis is a widely used technique for separating electrically charged molecules. It is a central technique in molecular biology and genetic laboratories‚ because it lets researchers separate and purify the nucleic acids DNA and RNA and proteins‚ so

Purpose In this lab‚ we used PCR and gel electrophoresis to identify genetically modified food. Introduction A genetically modified organism is an organism whose DNA or genetic makeup has been modified to code for certain desirable traits("Genetically Modified Foods"). Common genetically modified plants include corn and soy‚ and common genetically modified animals are fish. Many genetically modified plants are coded to resist bugs‚ grow faster‚ and produce bigger fruit‚ while most GMO animals

question whether protein or DNA was the genetic material by using Bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria). o Bacteriaphages were good for the experiment because they only contain 2 organic compounds‚ DNA and protein. • James Watson and Francis Crick were the first to solve the structure (structure=function) of DNA. • X-ray crystallography( process used to visualize molecules in 3-D. • DNA is a double helix- structure • The nitrogenous bases of DNA are( adenine (A)‚ thymine

independent restriction enzymes could be virtually impregnable. Among the first restriction enzymes to be purified were EcoRI and EcoRII from Escherichia coli‚ and HindII and HindIII from Haemophilus influenzae. These enzymes were found to cleave DNA at specific sites‚ generating discrete‚ gene-size fragments that could be re-joined in the laboratory. Researchers were quick to recognize that restriction enzymes provided them with a remarkable new tool for investigating gene organization‚ function

RANELLE JANINE L. ASI BIO 120 S-5L EXERCISE 9. Genomic DNA Isolation & Exercise 10. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Cell and molecular biology is a science based on the various systems of a cell resulting to its regulation‚ maintenance and function. Many of these systems involve genetic information hence the study of the DNA is an essential part of this field. To able to analyze DNA‚ it must first be isolated and purified from its natural environment filled with biological molecules and compounds

experiment is about seeing DNA without having to use microscopes. I chose this project because I am very interested in biology. I feel that learning more about DNA will allow me to understand how humans‚ plants‚ and animals develop. Understanding DNA is also a very important part of our existence. DNA is also known as deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is a large molecule that carries genetic instructions used in the development of all living organisms‚ plants‚ and animals. DNA is why elephants give

Introduction DNA‚ or deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is a double stranded helical structure used to store genetic information in cellular organisms. DNA usually consists of two strands made up of nucleotides‚ each with a backbone of repeating units of phosphate groups and the sugar‚ deoxyribose‚ bonded by phosphodiester linkages. Since the deoxyribose has a specific orientation‚ DNA molecules have directionality so that DNA sequences are read 5’ to 3’. The 5’ end of DNA is characterized by the deoxyribose

INTRODUCTION: Every cells of living organism contains genetic materials known as deoxyribonucleic acid‚ DNA. It can be isolated from tissue sample of living things by separating it from other cellular component in a manner that still preserves its structures. The structure of DNA is double-stranded helices that made up

Restriction site – A specific sequence on a DNA strand that is recognized as a cut site by a restriction enzyme. 5. Recombinant DNA – A DNA molecule made in vitro with segments from different sources. 6. Sticky ends – A single-stranded end of a double-stranded DNA restriction fragment. 7.
