DNA Extraction from Fruit 1. What was the purpose of adding liquid soap and salt in step #1 and how does NaCl contribute to maximum DNA extraction. The purpose of using soap was to destroy the membranes inside a kiwi cell. Soap helped with that because it dissolves the membranes easily. Salt or NaCl was used to remove proteins and carbohydrates. NaCl caused the proteins and carbohydrates to precipitate. 2. Why was it necessary to “mush” the kiwi by hand? If the step was omitted‚ what

DNA DIGESTION AND ELECTROPHORESIS In this experiment we will be doing a process called as DNA digestion or also known as restriction digest. A restriction digest is a procedure used in molecular biology to prepare DNA for analysis or other processing. It is sometimes termed DNA fragmentation‚ scientists Hartl and Jones describe it this way: This enzymatic technique can be used for cleaving DNA molecules at specific sites‚ ensuring that all DNA fragments that contain a particular sequence have the

DNA is a double helix molecule that contains information that is used to make up a person’s body. DNA controls every aspect of a person’s body from their eye and hair color‚ height‚ and other features. DNA’s specific and unique characteristic can be crucial when solving a crime. DNA can be used to convict a suspect or exonerate an innocent person. When DNA is found it is even more important that is handle properly to ensure proper identification and accuracy of testing.

The Reliability of Forensic Science Your DNA is split into two halves one from you mom and one from your dad‚ nobody has the same DNA as you unless you are a identical twin or a clone. Your siblings have different DNA than you though you have the same parents because the two halves combine differntly. In the year of 1984 Alec Jeffreys discovered the use of fingerprinting in a case. Since this discovery this tool has solved many cases and help with the falsely accused victims get out of the trouble

human genome‚ another important task of the project was to determine the number of genes‚ their locations‚ and give an idea as to their function. DNA fingerprinting is a way of identifying a specific individual‚ rather than simply identifying a species or some particular trait. It is also known as genetic fingerprinting or DNA profiling. DNA fingerprinting is currently used both for identifying paternity or maternity and for identifying criminals or victims. Although the Human Genome Project is

DNA is a tool of great use throughout the world. Especially when it comes to the field of forensic science‚ DNA is the most important tool of all. What is DNA? DNA‚ short for deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is a group of molecules that hereditary information in which guides development and functioning throughout the body. “DNA is to justice as a telescope is to the stars; not a lesson in biochemistry‚ not a display of the wonders of magnifying glass‚ but a way to see things as they really are.”(Barry Scheck

DNA Profiling and Ethics Reflection Journal Vanshika Khemka 14th October 2012 "33 autorad off" On 10th September 1984‚ geneticist Alec Jeffrey’s wrote these three words in his red desk diary. This marked the completion of an experiment‚ which studied how inherited illnesses pass through families. The experiment failed entirely. (McKie‚ 2009) However‚ this led to the most profound discovery: the world’s first DNA fingerprint. Now‚ the smallest swab of blood or sweat can determine

Who Discovered DNA? Heather Kane The discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid‚ more commonly known as DNA‚ has been the foundation for much scientific work. This fundamental discovery was credited to James Watson and Francis Crick. Many people believe that another person‚ Rosalind Franklin‚ also played a large role in the research. How much did she contribute to the discovery? Why is her name left unrecognized? This paper will discuss her part in the search and whether her name should appear next to

DNA Profiling for Crime Investigation Rabia Awan Preston University Islamabad‚ Pakistan rabiawan079@gmail.com Abstract— DNA profiling also called as DNA typing or Gene fingerprinting has been used as a powerful process for identification of humans. Many countries around the world where forensic databases have created to store DNA patterns(DNA profiles) of crime scenes in order to put the actual criminals behind the bars and free the innocent who have been kept in jails for years without any
