DNA Technology Task 3 – Poster DNA fingerprinting, also known as DNA profiling, is a technique used in forensic science that identifies individuals based on various characteristics of their DNA. Although the DNA sequences between humans are 99.9% identical, DNA fingerprinting is able to distinguish between individuals due to the presence of specific sequences within the non-coding region of the genome known as satellite DNA. This satellite DNA consists of long stretches of DNA made up of repeating

the object will have a balance of forces and is said to have reached a terminal velocity. The terminal velocity value is the final, constant velocity number reached by the falling object. Methods: For this lab we used coffee filters and the science building atrium which we will be using to drop the coffee filters from the third floor. A computer in order to compute the information into excel for the charts. A scale to measure the filters, which will then be converted into dynes and a parachute

Capstone Checkpoint: Reflections on Nutrition As I reflect on what I have learned about science nutrition, using the assignments that I have completed up to this point as a reference I would say that now I understand how the body transforms everything from cheeseburgers to vegetables into energy that we can use and need to operate daily functions of the body. I have also learned how changes such as aging, illnesses, and exercise can affect the body’s digestion process and growth process. The

doubt (Green, 2001). Genetic engineering is the use of various methods to make new combinations of DNA to produce a cell, tissue or an organism through the process of a sexual reproduction. Genetic engineering is already a propitious resource of science since the early nineteen centuries. Based on James Watson and Francis Crick, they discovered that DNA is a double helix formed by base pairs aligned to the sugar and phosphate strand. When DNA double helix replicates, it shaped like a twisted ladder
