    DNA and Crime Deoxyribonucleic Acid - the fingerprint of life also know as DNA was first mapped out in the early 1950’s by British biophysicist‚ Francis Harry Compton Crick and American biochemist James Dewey Watson. They determined the three-dimensional structure of DNA‚ the substance that passes on the genetic characteristics from one generation to the next. DNA is found in the chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell. "Every family line has it’s own unique pattern of restriction-enzyme DNA

    DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA. DNA replication during mitosis is the basis for biological inheritance. The process of DNA replication starts when one double-stranded DNA molecule produces two identical copies of the molecule. Each strand of the original double-stranded DNA molecule serves as template for the production of the complementary strand‚ a process referred to as semiconservative replication. Cellular proofreading and error-checking

    one thing that unites us all‚ DNA. DNA‚ standing for Deoxyribonucleic Acid‚ is commonly compared to a blueprint. This blueprint orders a highly specific set of corresponding bases‚ which in turn codes for an amino acid. However‚ this specificity comes at a very high risk; a single error in a base could code for a completely different amino acid‚ causing a mutation that could devastate the organism. Recently‚ scientists have discovered a new method to edit and repair DNA that could hopefully complement

    DNA Cloning ~ The Future of Science DNA Cloning DNA cloning is the process where an exact replica of an organism is produced. Some scientists have already produced clones of animals; Dolly the sheep is one of the many examples of DNA cloning. Cloning is a natural process‚ many living things only need one parent to reproduce‚ this process is called asexual reproduction; for example single-celled bacterium use this process. The new bacteria inherits its genes from only one parent‚ this means

    The discovery of DNA is attributed to the research of three scientists in 1951; Francis Crick‚ Maurice Wilkins‚ and James Dewey Watson. They were all later accredited with the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine in 1962. Thanks to their discovery‚ science has been able to research and learn from DNA blueprints and use recombinant DNA technology to discover answers‚ vaccines and build immunity for many viruses. In recent years science has been using this new technology to genetically modify animals
