Ernie Reed BIO-013/ Stem Cell Research Sullivan 11.10.2010 STEM CELL RESEARCH What is a stem cell? One can define a stem cell as a cell type that is found in many tissues. This particular cell is unique in the fact that it can divide itself over and over virtually to an infinite number. This process of reproduction ensures that the cells can restore other cells that may have gotten damaged; this process may only occur if the person is still living. The same goes for animals. As the stem cell

Calvin Williams Chapter 20 1. Advances in recombinant DNA technology allow scientists to work with smaller fragments of DNA‚ give them more tools to dissect and analyze DNA‚ and also allow for them to make many copies of a strand of DNA. 2. Restriction enzymes are made by bacteria to cut up invading DNA. They target specific base sequences in the DNA and then work to cut out those sequences from the DNA. 3. When a restriction enzyme cuts out a portion of DNA‚ it will sometimes leave a sticky

DNA as the genetic material 4. Recombinant DNA technology development and applications B. Recombinant DNA refers to the creation of new combinations of DNA segments that are not found together in nature. The isolation and manipulation of genes allows for more precise genetic analysis as well as practical applications

Molecular Cell Biology – Spring 2013 Study Guide – Exam #3 Protein Folding & Post-translational Modifications -What are post-translational modifications? - are modifications that a proteins undergoes to achieve its mature state. Such as cutting‚ folding‚ splicing and other processes. -How do proteins achieve their final conformation? - A protein achieves its final conformation by spontaneously folding. All the information that the protein needs as to how to fold is already located

Title: Physical and Chemical Properties Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the physical and chemical properties of pure chemical substances by subjecting them to various environmental extremes. Procedure: Filled each test tube with substances provided and subjected them to various conditions. These conditions included‚ heat‚ cold water‚ hot water‚ acid and basic additions and tested on litmus paper. The reactions were observed and documented at each step. Data tables:
