DNA FINGERPRINTING Background Reading - Nelson Biology and Campbell Biology Purpose - To understand the basics of DNA fingerprinting used in the Canadian courts for crime convictions and paternity suits. Introduction The process of DNA fingerprinting was developed by Professor Alec Jeffreys at Leicester University in 1984 as a form of genetic analysis. It was first used in the law courts of England in 1987 to convict a man in a rape case. It has now been used successfully in many crime and paternity

DNA REPLICATION At the replication origin DNA helicase attaches to a strand of DNA and begins to break apart hydrogen bonds in order to unravel a section of the double helix. The section of DNA that is unwound is called the replication bubble and the “Y” shaped sections are called the replication forks. In order to stop the unwound section from binding back together‚ single strand binding proteins react with the single strand portions on the DNA causing them to stay separated. Although the leading

DNA sequencing From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia [pic] The term DNA sequencing refers to sequencing methods for determining the order of the nucleotide bases—adenine‚ guanine‚ cytosine‚ and thymine—in a molecule of DNA. Knowledge of DNA sequences has become indispensable for basic biological research‚ other research branches utilizing DNA sequencing‚ and in numerous applied fields such as diagnostic‚ biotechnology‚ forensic biology and biologicalsystematics. The advent of DNA sequencing

DNA profiling is a method of identifying an individual by unique characteristics of their DNA. A specific DNA pattern‚ called a profile‚ is obtained from an individual or a sample of tissue. This allows the comparison of the base sequence of two or more DNA samples to determine whether they are related. DNA profiling has many uses‚ in prevention of economic fraud‚ dietetic work‚ and classifying species‚ identifying bodies‚ forensic science‚ screening for disease‚ and investigating paternity.

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. DNA is typically has two strands running in opposite direction and is usually referred to as a double helix. Each on the individual strands consists of a backbone that is formed by sugar molecules linked together in groups. Each individual sugar molecule is covalently linked to one of the following possible bases: Adenine‚ Guanine‚ Cytosine and Thymine. These bases

DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. A molecule of DNA is made up of long chains of polymers and monomers called nucleotides. Those chains‚ two in particular that compose a strain of DNA‚ are formed by the grouping of nucleotides into polynucleotides. A nitrogenous base‚ a sugar‚ and a phosphate group make up the composition of a nucleotide. In the case of DNA‚ the four nucleotides that are found along the chain of DNA are thymine (T)

DNA Replication Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains the genetic instructions for the biological development of a cellular form of life including some viruses. DNA is an antiparallel double helix molecule with sugar-phosphate backbone on the outer side and nitrogen bases in the inner side. The bases are paired specifically‚ also known as complementary pairing‚ Adenine (A) with Thymine (T)‚ and Guanine (G) with Cytosine (C) by two and three hydrogen bonds‚ respectively. DNA is a long polymer
