common type of genetic sequencing used by counselors is called next generation sequencing (NGS). When using NGS‚ you are provided with the benefit of much faster and cheaper method of sequencing multiple strands of DNA. Although the benefits of NGS are helpful in some cases‚ it does come with disadvantages that when compared to its competitor‚ Sanger method‚ could be an issue. These disadvantages include the limited number of base pairs that can be sequenced on a given DNA strand and the fact it

Title: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements Purpose: To properly use‚ understand‚ and correctly convert the scientific measurements such as: finding density‚ converting centimeters to millimeters‚ 3 different units of temperature‚ etc… Procedure: I used a metric ruler to measure the length of the objects‚ a thermometer to determine the degrees of the water‚ and a scale to determine the mass of the designated objects. I used the proper equipment to measure out or hold the item. After I gathered

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

DNA REPLICATION WHAT IS DNA? DNA is a molecule that has a repeating chain of identical five-carbon sugars (polymers) linked together from head to tail. It is composed of four ring shaped organic bases (nucleotides) which are Adenine (A)‚ Guanine (G)‚ Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). It has a double helix shape and contains the sugar component deoxyribose. THE PROCESS OF DNA REPLICATION How DNA replicates is quite a simple process. First‚ a DNA molecule is "unzipped". In other words‚ it

INTRODUCTION The objective of education is to use the skill and knowledge learnt to function effectively in the society. Therefore‚ learning which cannot be used outside the school is futile. In recent times‚ the school curriculum is fashioned in line with problems of the society. Children attend school so that on graduation‚ they will employ the skills acquired to better the lots of the society. Any educational system‚ whose products cannot tackle the problems of its society‚ could be termed a

Smartphones for Upper Management Our company currently provides the executives with internet-enabled smartphones‚ however‚ in order to save money we have decided to expand the smartphone program to all employees who currently have a company cell phone and laptop. It should be noted that 100 employees currently have a both a company laptop and cell phone‚ while 15 have neither and 10 senior managers expect to be the priority recipients of the new smartphones. Granted that the savings are long term

Title Application of DNA Barcodes to Identify Various Plant Species Abstract In this experiment we applied barcodes to plants in order to identify what species they are classified under. We also compared the DNA sequences of different plant species using the ribulose-biphosphate carboxylase gene (rbcL). We took samples from a plant called Chard and performed PCR‚ DNA amplification and quantification and sequenced the DNA. During the experiment‚ we hypothesized that this year’s “nonspinach”

Introduction DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) is a nucleic acid that has many names‚ each representing the phases that it undergoes (chromosomes‚ chromatin‚ genes/alleles); it resides in the nucleus (bound by 2 *phospholipid bilayers) of almost every cell in the body (red blood cells being an exception). DNA (your genotype) is double stranded and is responsible for replicating (from 46 to 92) during Interphase‚ so that mitosis can make new cells‚ repairing and allowing for growth in the body. It is

Should all people convicted of a crime have their DNA fingerprints stored on a database?\ A DNA fingerprint is the same for every cell‚ organ and tissue in an organism. DNA fingerprinting has many uses‚ some of which include providing the evidence needed to solve criminal investigations‚ determining genetic relationships and solving paternity disputes. DNA fingerprinting has many benefits in the use of criminal investigations as it can provide the evidence to solve crimes and current mysteries
