errors in DNA or from the harming impacts of mutagens‚ for example‚ chemicals and radiation‚ which respond with DNA and change the structures of individual nucleotides. All cells possess DNA-repair enzymes that attempt to minimize the number of mutations that occur. These enzymes work in two ways. Some are pre-replicative and look the DNA for nucleotides with irregular structures‚ these being replaced before replication happens; others are post-replicative and check recently synthesized DNA for mistakes

The structure of DNA and the effect of point mutations (25 MARKS) Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) is a polynucleotide molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses. Most DNA molecules are double stranded helices‚ consisting of two polynucleotide strands made up of simpler molecules known as nucleotides. A nucleotide is made up of an organic nitrogenous base‚ a deoxyribose sugar and

We placed the lambda DNA into three test tubes. We then incubated one sample with EcoRI‚ one with HindIII‚ and the other we left as a control. After we completed the experiment and ran the DNA‚ we found that the first band of the crime scene DNA traveled 3.5mm and the second band traveled 6.5mm. The actual size of the first crime scene band is 1‚100bp and the second band is about 5‚500bp. The first band of suspect 1 DNA traveled 3 mm and the second band traveled 6.5mm

The PCR is used to amplify the several DNA samples and gel electrophoresis is performed to separate the DNA fragments according to their size. [6] In the first part of the experiment‚ PCR amplification of the DNA templates was performed and the products obtained were used to perform gel electrophoresis. The process of PCR allows for the amplification of the DNA samples and the components needed to perform PCR are template DNA‚ DNA

the 19th century with the introduction of forensic science. Forensic science was a new way to solve crimes with DNA evidence to get the correct criminal rightfully punished. In this paper I will go over how forensic science evidence developed over time‚ how the advancement of DNA made things easier in the courtroom‚ and finally what the projected future is for forensic science and DNA evidence. There is one question that I want answered at the end of this paper‚ and that is how does forensic science

Rosalind Franklin created the A and B forms of DNA. She developed a method in seperating the two forms of DNA. Franklin provided the first pure enough DNA crystals to reveal interpretable diffraction patterenWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWs. She discovered the helical structure of DNA has two strands. She was missing an important piece to her structure.The missing piece was how the bases paired on the inside of the helix‚ and the secret of heredity itself (Ardell 1). Watson and Crick were
